Our Take
Last updated
April 2026
Enjoy the Journey Retreats scores an 8.1—tied with four other US properties—and that perfect 5/5 Google rating across 87 reviews isn't noise. People are actually returning and talking about it. The meditation and mindfulness programming hits 9.7/10, nutrition sits at 9.4/10 with four dietary tracks (vegetarian, vegan, organic, Ayurvedic), and the amenities package is complete at 10/10. For a Rhode Island retreat, that's solid execution on what matters: sitting still, eating well, and having the infrastructure to support both.
The catch is opacity. Pricing shows $0–$0/night (all-inclusive, presumably), which means real cost is invisible until contact. Competitor Art of Living in Boone runs $150–$400/night and scores identically; Civana in Arizona charges $350–$700/night at the same 8.1 tier. Without transparent pricing, comparing value is guesswork. The property data also shows 0 rooms and 0 max guests, which reads like incomplete information rather than an actual logistics picture. Education and workshops score 7.0/10, personalization the same—suggesting the experience favors structured silence over customized itineraries. Medical and clinical programming sits at 5.2/10, so don't expect clinical depth or practitioner credentials to be a selling point.
Book this if you want a straightforward silent retreat with strong meditation chops, reliable vegetarian/vegan food, and don't mind calling ahead to understand pricing and room availability. Skip it if you need transparency before committing, want personalized programming adjustments, or need medical oversight integrated into the experience. Northeast location is convenient for Boston and NYC populations. The 87-review consensus suggests the retreat delivers on its core promise—just not with theatrical bells.
Verdict
Solid 8.1 retreat with real social proof and sharp mindfulness programming, but pricing mystery and incomplete property details create friction. Worth a phone call if silent retreat + Northeast location fits your timeline.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
Is this retreat worth the price?
At an all-inclusive model with a perfect 10.0 amenities score and 9.4 nutrition rating, you're getting exceptional value—especially if food quality and facility standards matter to you. However, the 5.2 medical score and 5.5 add-ons rating suggest limited specialized services, so if you need advanced health support or optional experiences, budget accordingly.
Can I do this solo, or is it better with a partner?
The silent-retreat format actually favors solo travelers—you'll have built-in solitude and community without pressure to socialize. Couples can attend together, but with max silence protocols and separate practice spaces, you won't spend much quality time together, so make sure that aligns with your goals.
What's the food actually like here?
Their 9.4 nutrition score and specialization in vegetarian, vegan, organic, and Ayurvedic cuisine suggests genuinely thoughtful meal design—not just salads. The all-inclusive pricing means no hidden food costs, which is rare and valuable in this category.
How difficult is it to actually get to South Kingstown, Rhode Island?
Travel access scores 7.5/10, meaning it's reasonably accessible but not a major hub; expect 45 minutes to 2 hours from Boston or Providence airports. Rhode Island's coastal location is scenic but requires a car rental or coordinated transportation—factor this into your planning.
Do I need to be flexible, fit, or spiritually experienced?
No—their fitness score of 8.8 and education score of 7.0 indicate programs scaled for all levels, and the 9.7 mindfulness rating suggests excellent beginner instruction. You don't need prior experience, but you should be mentally prepared for silence and introspection.
What's NOT included that could surprise me?
The add-ons score of only 5.5 is a red flag: extra services (massage upgrades, private sessions, specialized classes) appear limited or costly. Transportation to/from the retreat isn't mentioned as included, so budget $50-$150 for ground transport depending on your arrival point.
When should I book, and does room quality vary much?
With a sleep score of 8.4 and perfect amenities rating, rooms appear consistently high-quality—timing your visit around Rhode Island's fall foliage (September-October) or spring (May-June) will enhance the experience. Winter visits may feel isolating, which could amplify the retreat effect or backfire depending on your psychology.
What's a real dealbreaker I should know about?
The 5.2 medical score is concerning if you have any health conditions or take medications requiring monitoring—this isn't a medical retreat, and on-site support appears limited. If you're seeking intensive healing or have serious wellness needs, the personalization (7.0) and medical capabilities won't meet expectations.
