CURATED LUXURY RETREATs IN ICONIC PLACES
We create immersive, intimate retreats designed to help you reconnect with yourself.
Permission to put yourself first.
This is what happens when you finally put yourself first.
Every retreat blends movement, stillness, real conversation, and beautiful food, in a space where you can be truly yourself and nourish your body.
From day retreats to overnights to full weekend experiences, we curate every detail with intention, so you remember what it feels like to put yourself first, and feel special doing it.
Not a spa weekend. Not a vacation. A WellAway.
Every detail, curated with intention
Four elements. Every retreat.
MOVEMENT
Onsite daily pilates, yoga, HIIT, hiking, dance and silent disco or other body movement sessions led by certified instructors. We integrate movement into retreats that emphasize mind-body connection and feeling good in your skin.
NUTRITION
Nutrient-dense, high-quality vegetarian meals prepared by skilled onsite chefs. Hands on cooking and nutrition workshops with recipes and nutrition hacks to take home.
EDUCATION
Holistic health-themed workshops on topics such as hormone health, skincare, nutrition, gut health, the nervous system, relaxation, immune system support, women’s health and vitality and more by guest experts.
RELAXATION
Guided breathwork, aromatherapy, meditation, art meditation, cacao ceremonies and onsite spa treatments to slow down and alleviate stress.
However much time you have to give yourself.
Day Retreats:
A full day away, built for the woman who can't get away for a weekend but still needs to put herself first.
Overnights:
One night, fully unplugged — enough time to actually exhale.
Weekend Experiences:
Our signature format: multiple days of movement, stillness, food, and connection in an iconic setting.

Meet the Founder
Founded by someone who needed this too.
Maria Baum is a National Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBWHC), a graduate of the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, and the founder of WellAway Retreats — a boutique wellness company creating transformative experiences for women. Over the past four years, she has built restorative, intentional retreat spaces across California wine country and Europe, rooted in a simple belief: more women deserve access to the tools, resources, and products that help them prioritize their own wellbeing.
A dual Italian-American citizen who lived in Europe for over a decade, Maria was shaped by the old-world philosophy of slowing down, living intentionally, and savoring what matters — and that influence is the soul of every WellAway experience. With a background in corporate PR and media, and a Master's in Journalism from NYU, Maria gives each retreat its own sense of craft, narrative, and attention to detail.
Maria also offers 1:1 consulting for women who want to lead their own retreats, guiding them from concept to execution with the same care she brings to her own. Her larger mission: to shift the conversation about who retreats are for — because the women who need this most are often the ones who haven't yet given themselves permission to go.
