Wellness Retreats
Mother & Daughter Retreats
A mother and daughter retreat at Cal-a-Vie Health Spa — shared hikes and long tables, separate mornings when you want them, and Mom/Teen Week.
Time together, not identical time
A week here does not require two people to want the same things. Schedules are composed separately and joined at the points that matter — breakfast, the afternoon walk, the long table at seven. One of you takes the daybreak hike; the other takes Restorative Yoga and finds the terrace afterward. What the estate provides is the thing that is hardest to arrange at home: several unhurried days in the same place, with nothing to organize and nowhere else to be.
The week's shared hours
A Semiprivate Hike takes the two of you onto the trail with a trainer of your own; a semiprivate fitness session and a semiprivate swim session are arranged the same way. All three are paid additions to the week, priced by the fitness concierge as you plan them. Partner yoga, by contrast, is on the daily class schedule and costs nothing further. In the afternoons, Mindful Art & Creativity offers vision boards, mala meditation bracelets, lavender wreaths, watercolor, and collage — quiet, unserious hours with nothing to achieve in them. The Labyrinth is walked in candlelight some evenings. On Saturday mornings the Solar Walk crosses the estate at the true scale of the solar system and ends at the Observatory with a filtered view of the sun.
Which length fits
The Three-Day Reset, Thursday to Sunday, is the easiest to fit around a school or work calendar. The Four-Day Escape begins on a Sunday or a Wednesday. The Seven-Day Renewal runs Sunday to Sunday and gives two people the full arc, with the days composed around each of you separately. Anything booked privately or for the two of you alone is added to the stay and billed separately.
How old does my daughter need to be?
The minimum guest age on the estate is sixteen. Mom/Teen Week is the week built for exactly this — a favorite way to share the hillside, the trails, and the long table across generations. Reservations can tell you when the next one falls.
Can we stay in the same room?
Villa guest rooms are composed for two, with a king-sized bed and a private sundeck or balcony. For two people who would rather have separate bedrooms, the seven suites open more space. Reservations will match the configuration to the two of you.
What if we are at different fitness levels?
That is the ordinary case, not the exception. Classes are graded by level, and the range is wide enough to hold both ends of it — Chair Yoga, Golden Strength & Motion, Stretch and Balance, and the milder vineyard trail walk at one end; Tabata, Barre Bootcamp, and the daybreak hike at the other. Your Fitness Concierge reaches out roughly ten days before arrival and builds two schedules that meet where you want them to.
Can other family come too?
Yes. For a family gathering that wants the hillside to itself, the estate can be reserved in full for six to eighty guests, with the itinerary, the menus, and the pace shaped before anyone arrives. L'Orangerie — a three-hundred-year-old reception hall carried from Dijon and raised again here — seats one hundred and twenty at banquet beneath old-world chandeliers.
What are the meals like?
Three meals a day and snacks, cooked rather than assembled, and adapted to whatever either of you needs. Most of it starts on the property: vegetables and herbs from the organic gardens, wildflower honey from the apiary, wine from Château Cal-a-Vie's own vineyard. Cooking demonstrations run through the week, and the Beautiful Living cookbook gathers more than a hundred of the kitchen's dishes.
