Jun22596 18 | LUXlife Magazine Best Transformational Women’s Retreat 2026 & LUXlife Personal Development Excellence Award 2026 In mythology, the phoenix sets itself on fire, before rising anew from the ashes. Taking its name from this mythical bird, The Phoenix Retreat is a healing luxury women’s retreat encouraging them to drop the armour, shed their old skin, and live a happier, more authentic life. Founded by Kendra Davies, MCC, who we caught up us with for more on this transformational retreat following its recognition in this programme. Kendra Davies, Master Certified Coach and Positive Psychology Practitioner, has spent more than 20 years in human development, and The Phoenix Retreat is the fullest expression of that work. Founded in Florida under the banner of Stellar Life Coaching, the retreat was built on a singular mission: to transform how women live, love, and lead. With more than 13 retreats since its founding in 2016, that mission has reached and transformed the lives of hundreds of women internationally. The retreats are kept deliberately intimate, with between 10 and 20 participants attending each one. This helps to keep them all highly personalised and ensure a deeply connected experience, which is vital given that many of the women who attend them are at a crossroads in their lives. Be it a career transition, a relationship change, grief, burnout, or finally listening to that quiet but persistent voice that tells them they are meant for more, those who embark on these retreats are united by a shared readiness for meaningful work on themselves. Participants range from business executives and entrepreneurs to educators, healthcare professionals, and mothers, and what these diverse women all get from The Phoenix Retreat is an experience that goes well beyond your typical wellness getaway. Kendra explained: “Through trauma-informed life coaching, breathwork, guided reflection, facilitated group conversations, yoga, meditation, and culturally immersive sacred experiences, all set against the backdrop of some of the world’s most spiritually significant destinations, we create the conditions for genuine, lasting transformation.” Equally important to these retreats are the physical adventures these women go on, delivered as a result of the guiding belief that the body must actually do hard things to trust that it can. Be it canyoneering and climbing Mount Batur in Bali, or standing at the summit of Rainbow Mountain in Peru, these women do things many of them never would before, and this is where the idea of them rising anew, just like the phoenix.
