Paradise Sanctuary Retreats
Hawaii Private Retreats for Leadership, Healing & Renewal
The alarm doesn't go off—because you don't need one.
You wake naturally to birdsong and ocean breeze.
Light filters through palm fronds onto your pillow.
No meetings. No emails. No urgency.
Just space.
And in that space, clarity emerges.
Welcome to Paradise Sanctuary
Transformation deserves sacred space.
When you step away from noise, stress, and constant doing, you reconnect with what's real—the wisdom that gets drowned out by daily demands.
Paradise Sanctuary offers private retreats in Hawai'i for leaders, teams, and individuals ready for profound renewal.
Whether you're:
A founder at a crossroads
A team seeking alignment
An individual ready for rebirth
A leader wanting to lead from wholeness
These retreats create space for the transformation you've been sensing is possible.
Guided personally by Bence Agosthazi—transformational life coach, leadership mentor, and organizational development consultant with 30+ years of experience—each retreat blends stillness, inquiry, and embodied learning, all surrounded by the elemental beauty of Hawai'i Island.
You'll align purpose with presence. Vision with vitality.
Why Hawaii? Why Here?
The Big Island is alive.
Volcano meets ocean.
Fire meets water.
Creation meets destruction.
The land itself teaches balance, humility, and renewal—constantly reinventing itself, moment by moment.
Many guests describe this as "coming home to themselves."
What Makes Hawaii Sacred:
The Energy
Ancient Hawaiians called it mana—life force. You feel it the moment you arrive. The land holds presence.
The Elements
Within an hour's drive: active volcanoes, black sand beaches, rainforests, snow-capped peaks. Nature as teacher.
The Pace
Island time isn't about slowness—it's about presence. You'll remember what it feels like to be instead of just do.
The Isolation
4,000 miles from the nearest continent. The distance itself creates perspective. You can't bring your old world here—and that's the point.

What Participants Say
"Three days in Hawaii did more for our leadership team than a year of quarterly offsites. We finally said what needed to be said—and the trust that emerged was profound. Within 6 months, we were operating like an entirely different company."
— Theresa K., Director, Cisco (Leadership Team Retreat)
"I went to 'fix my team.' I left realizing I needed to transform my own leadership first. The retreat gave me both the mirror and the tools to do it. The investment paid for itself in the first quarter—not just in revenue, but in how work finally felt joyful."
— James R., VP Operations, Healthcare (Executive Retreat)
"The island called me there. Bence helped me hear why. I arrived burnt out, questioning everything. I left with clarity I hadn't felt in 15 years. My business doubled—but more importantly, I stopped hating Mondays."
— Linda M., Founder, Education Tech (Life Coaching Retreat)
"I've been to Bali, Peru, Costa Rica—all the 'transformational retreat' destinations. Hawaii with Bence was different. Not performatively spiritual, but genuinely sacred. The work was deep. The integration was real. I left changed."
— Marcus T., Entrepreneur (Spiritual Integration Retreat)
"What I loved: No agenda pushed on me. Bence held space for whatever needed to emerge. Some sessions we talked strategy. Others I just cried. Both were exactly what I needed. The flexibility within structure was masterful."
— Priya L., Executive Coach (1-on-1 Life Coaching Retreat)

You know it's time.
You've been feeling it for weeks—maybe months.

The sense that something wants to shift.
Transformation doesn't happen in the middle of the overwhelm.
It happens in the space between.
Hawaii creates that space.
Bence holds it.
You step into it.
What happens next is up to you—but it won't be what you expect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I've never been to Hawaii. Is this retreat right for first-timers?
A: Absolutely. In fact, experiencing Hawaii for transformation (vs. tourism) often creates a deeper connection. We'll guide you through cultural protocols and island etiquette.
Q: What if I'm not "spiritual" or experienced with meditation?
A: Perfect. We meet you where you are. Some participants are seasoned practitioners; others have never meditated. The practices adapt to your level.
Q: Can I bring my partner/spouse?
A: Yes, with some considerations. If they're participating in coaching, full retreat rate applies. If they're just joining for support/vacation, $1,500 covers accommodation and meals (but not coaching).
Q: What's the weather like?
A: Kona side is warm year-round (75-85°F). At 1,200 feet elevation, it's slightly cooler than the coast. Bring layers. Rain is possible but brief. Pack for both sun and occasional showers.
Q: Is this appropriate for someone in crisis?
A: It depends. We're not a treatment center. If you're experiencing acute mental health crisis, clinical care is more appropriate. But if you're navigating a life transition or existential questioning, this work can be deeply supportive.
Q: How physically active is the retreat?
A: Gentle to moderate. We offer morning movement (yoga, beach walks) and optional hikes, but everything is adaptable to your fitness level. The work is more inner than outer.
Q: Will there be free time?
A: Yes. We balance structured sessions with open time for integration—rest, journaling, exploring the land, or simply being. Transformation needs space.
Q: What if I need to cancel?
A: See cancellation policy above. We hold space for you—it's only fair that you honor your commitment or give reasonable notice so others can join.
Q: Can I extend my stay?
A: Yes! Many guests add 1-3 extra days for personal integration time. $750/day includes accommodation and meals (no coaching sessions, just space to integrate).
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
A: Yes. 50% deposit reserves your spot; remaining balance due 30 days before arrival. We also offer 3-payment plans in some cases. Ask if needed.
