Registration & Details

Hello, visionary leader… The Caribbean breeze is calling you!

This is where transformation begins – where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace, where every meal is a feast beneath an open sky, and where dreams take shape in the golden glow of our little paradise.

Your Journey to Paradise Begins…

Your adventure unfolds in stages—two flights carrying you closer to a world untouched by noise and rush, a lively taxi weaving through vibrant island streets, and then, the final stretch—skimming across turquoise waters on a speedboat, the salty breeze teasing your hair.

Then, you arrive.

The moment your feet touch the warm, powdery sand, something shifts. The air is crisp and pure, carrying the scent of salt and sun-ripened coconuts. The ocean hums a gentle welcome, waves lapping the shore in a rhythm that instantly slows your breath. The tension you didn’t even realize you were holding begins to melt away.

Here, there are no honking cars, no endless notifications—only the rustle of palm leaves and the distant laughter of kindred spirits. Golden sunlight dances on your skin as you sway effortlessly in a hammock, a fresh coconut in hand, feeling more present than you have in months.

As the sky ignites with streaks of pink and gold, you gather with fellow visionaries—leaders, creators, souls on a mission—sharing stories, dreams, and laughter. This isn’t just a retreat; it’s the spark you’ve been searching for. Are you ready to step into the next chapter of your journey?

Step into Little Corn Island, where your path to creating life-changing retreats begins with embracing the magic of the island and your own inner wisdom.

Fantastic stay in Little Corn

Amazing property and Stephanie the chef was fantastic. The room was very nice and comfortable, well designed and decorated. It felt very safe as well. Having two fans in the room was a big bonus.

~ Heather, Canada

Dream Destination

Very quiet and calm place. Hammocks in front of every cabaĂąa and in general all around the place. All the food prepared by Stephanie was amazing and very delicious. It takes around 10-15min walking there from the port, but everything is really close on the island.

Every detail, from the handcrafted furniture to the sustainable materials used throughout, is designed to ensure you can rest and recharge in harmony with the island’s healing energy.
Spaces to Unwind and Reconnect

Relaxation is at the heart of your stay.

There are plenty of hammocks to stretch out, reflect, or nap in the gentle island breeze.

And don’t be surprised if you make new animal friends during your stay—our free-range chickens and two playful dogs are part of the family, adding a touch of whimsy and warmth to your experience.

A Tranquil Haven Just for You

At The Lighthouse Retreat, we believe in simplicity and serenity. We’ve intentionally kept the space private and intimate, ensuring that you can unplug fully and feel deeply connected to the island and yourself. It’s the perfect environment to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

This might not be for you if…

🌿 You’re not looking for an intimate island venue designed for deep connection, wellness, and transformation.

🚫 A car-free, off-the-beaten-path tropical island doesn’t spark excitement for you.

☀️ You prefer air-conditioned luxury and city-style conveniences over the natural rhythm of island life—where barefoot walks, ocean breezes, and simple wooden cabañas create the experience.

🏝️ The idea of walking under the sun, navigating sandy trails, or embracing the slow, intentional pace of island living doesn’t align with your vision.

🐜 You’re uncomfortable with nature in its raw beauty—occasional tropical insects, the sounds of the jungle, or the salty sea air.

⛰️ You’re not up for a little adventure—walking up the scenic hill to your cabaña, taking in breathtaking views, and feeling the rewarding connection between movement and place.

🧘‍♀️ Slowing down, tuning in, and immersing yourself in a supportive retreat community doesn’t resonate with you.

If this isn’t your vibe, that’s okay—this retreat space is for those who are ready to embrace the magic of island living. 🌴✨

This is more than a FAM retreat—it’s a chance to unplug, recharge, and step into a new way of being. Let the island’s energy inspire you, the ocean ground you, and this experience transforms you. 🌿✨

YOUR HOSTS

The Sisters Bringing Your Retreat Vision to Life

Big dreamers, barefoot wanderers, and sisters lost in paradise—our journey to Little Corn Island is one of resilience, adventure, and purpose. As Palestinian sisters, we grew up watching our father work tirelessly, determined to help us achieve our dreams. From Syria to Saudi Arabia to Canada, we chased bigger aspirations, but the demands of Toronto life left us longing for something more. We found it here on Little Corn Island—a place where the sounds of birds and baby chickens bring daily joy, and life moves with the rhythm of the sea.

Our days are filled with simple pleasures—walking barefoot to the beach, soaking in golden sunsets, and exploring the island with our two dogs, Luna and our tiny Yorkie, Amoura. Luna, a guest favorite, has even mastered savasana in yoga class!

But our hearts are most deeply connected to the people. We practice sustainability and collaborate with the local community. We are passionate about rebuilding the island’s reading room with Teacher Wendy, ensuring the children have a space to dream, learn, and make education possible.

Beyond the island, we love exploring Nicaragua’s lush coffee and chocolate farms, sourcing the finest organic beans for a fresh morning brew and rich cacao for our signature Take Me to Paradise chocolate massage—a true indulgence in nature’s gifts. And when we’re not here, we return to our second home—Toronto, the concrete jungle that shaped us and fuels our passion for bridging both worlds.

If you share our love for tropical islands, wellness, and meaningful connections, this is your perfect escape. We invite you to join our tribe of dreamers, entrepreneurs, and changemakers—spreading love, one retreat at a time.

Island blessings & salty breezes,
Raneem & Naseem

Let the island lead you back to yourself. Let’s transform and inspire.

I'm All In!

We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance to cover any unforeseen events, such as trip cancellations, medical emergencies, or lost luggage. It’s always better to be prepared, especially when traveling internationally.

How is internet access?

While we encourage you to disconnect during your retreat to fully immerse yourself in the experience, Wi-Fi is available in common areas. It’s perfect for checking in or handling urgent matters, but we hope you’ll take the time to unplug and enjoy the serenity of the island.

What if I have special dietary needs?

We are happy to accommodate dietary restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or any other preferences. Please inform us of your dietary requirements in advance so that we can prepare meals that nourish you throughout the retreat.

Will there be time for personal reflection and quiet time?

Absolutely. While the retreat schedule is packed with enriching activities, we understand the importance of personal space. You’ll have ample time each day to reflect, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Little Corn Island on your own.

Can I extend my stay?

Yes! If you’d like to relax further after the retreat or continue your personal exploration, you can extend your stay at The Lighthouse Retreat. We’d be happy to help you arrange additional accommodations and excursions.
