About Our Couple's Retreat

Escape to an unforgettable couples retreat designed exclusively for love, connection, and a touch of wild magic.

This intimate 4-day/3-night experience at a luxurious safari-inspired ranch blends romance, adventure, and unforgettable wildlife encounters into the perfect getaway for you and your partner.

Imagine arriving to your private suite, where every detail whispers relaxation and intimacy, then diving into curated moments that strengthen your bond—from playful swims with otters to sunset dinners under the stars, all while surrounded by the gentle wonders of nature.

Here’s a glimpse of the magic awaiting you February 22–25, 2026:

Sunday, February 22

Settle into your elegant suite between 4–6 pm, then kick off the retreat with a heartfelt welcome ceremony accompanied by live music— the perfect romantic start.

Monday, February 23

Begin with a family-style chef-prepared breakfast, followed by an adorable otter swim together (because who can resist holding hands while otters play around you?).
Then head off for an exclusive winery library experience—think intimate tastings in a stunning, book-lined setting.

Back at the ranch, enjoy a special animal encounter, gourmet dinner with world-class chefs, couples dance lessons, and a cozy campfire dessert under the night sky.

Tuesday, February 24
Fuel up with another chef-crafted breakfast, then flow through couples yoga with wildlife gently roaming nearby, followed by a memorable lunch with giraffes and a professional photoshoot to capture your connection.

Create lasting memories with permanent bond bracelets (custom options for both partners), a stamping keepsake, and more wildlife magic. Relax at the pool or hot tub, stroll scenic trails, then enjoy a wildlife tour and chef dinner, with optional late-night cocktails and game night.

Wednesday, February 25
Savor one final chef breakfast, then have a delightful lemur experience with photos— the sweetest way to say goodbye until next time.

Wrap up with heart full of new memories and a deeper connection.

How Oak Meadow Encounters Are Different

Choice-Based Animal Engagement

Our animals are never forced to participate; all interactions happen on their terms, with respect and trust.

Luxury Meets Wilderness

Every experience is framed with thoughtful hospitality, elegant touches, and serene ambiance.

Small, Intimate Groups

We limit guest numbers to protect the animals’ well-being and ensure a deeply personal experience.

Conservation at Our Core

Your participation helps support the care, enrichment, and protection of our ambassador animals.

*Reservation is required for all wildlife experiences.

  • Strict No-Cancellation / No-Reschedule policy due to limited availability.
  • Please wear closed-toe shoes, and no sunscreens or bug sprays (we supply wildlife-safe alternatives).
  • Guests can choose to experience just an animal encounter without staying overnight, though we believe staying enhances the magic.
