Solo retreats for CEOs and founders
A solo retreat suits CEOs who want full focus and no social obligations. Choose a program that provides structure, privacy and a small, relevant group.
Disclosure: Lions Gate Retreats is a Chronicle partner. Facts below come from lionsgateretreats.com as read on 12 October 2026 and can change, so confirm on the official site before you decide.
What solo gives you
No negotiation over schedule, no one to perform for, and full control over how you use free time. It also means you meet others on your own terms. For many CEOs, a single trip alone is the first time in years they have made decisions only for themselves.
What can go wrong
Isolation, boredom and second guessing. A program with a structured day and a cohort of peers can counter these. Without structure, a solo trip can turn into extended work in a nicer location.
Choose structure that carries you
- Fixed training times
- Shared meals
- Small cohort of comparable people
- Protected work windows
- A contact person at the program
Lions Gate's sample day includes dinner with the other founders, per its official site.
Price check
Single occupancy often costs more per person. Lions Gate's 30 day listing shows a higher per-person price for the solo option than for group options (read 12 October 2026). Verify current prices in Lions Gate pricing and what is included.
Safety and logistics
Share your itinerary with someone at home, carry insurance, and know the location of local medical help. Ask the provider how arrivals and transfers work for a person travelling alone.
After the retreat
Decide ahead what you will bring home: routines, a plan, maybe a debrief with a mentor. Set a date for it before you leave.
