Return to the Throne Retreat

A luxury journey through the heart of ancient Egypt..... 

Open to both men and women, Return to the Throne is a luxury Egyptian adventure that takes us from the pyramids of Cairo to the temples of Aswan and Luxor, while spending five unforgettable nights sailing down the Nile aboard a private Dahabeya (boat).

Together, we'll explore ancient wonders, walk through sacred temples, stand before the Great Pyramids, visit the Valley of the Kings, and experience Egypt in a way few travelers ever do.

This retreat is for those who have always dreamed of Egypt. For those who crave adventure, history, culture, luxury, and experiences they'll remember for the rest of their lives.

And the truth is, we're not sure if we'll offer this exact journey again.

So if Egypt has been sitting on your bucket list, this is the time!

Join us for an unforgettable week of exploration, connection, wonder, and sailing through the heart of one of the world's most extraordinary civilizations.

Travel Plans

✈️ Flights are not included.
🚐 Transportation to Lake Atitlán is included

Traveling to Guatemala

🛂 Visa Requirements
U.S. citizens do not need a visa for tourist stays up to 90 days in Guatemala. Your passport should be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates.

Travelers from other countries should check Guatemala’s visa requirements based on their passport country before booking flights.

Arrival & Airport Information

✈️ Please fly into La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City.

From there, our team will help coordinate transportation to Lake Atitlán, including a shuttle transfer and a boat to the retreat property.

🚐 Transportation from Guatemala City to the lake IS included.

⛵ Boat transportation to the retreat location is also included.

The drive from Guatemala City to Lake Atitlán is approximately 3.5-4 hours, depending on traffic, followed by a short 15min private boat ride to Casa Floresta.

Please do not book flights until you receive the official green light from the Coherence team, as we will send recommended arrival time frames for the group transportation.

Arriving Early

If you’re able to, we always recommend arriving one night early before the retreat begins. Traveling days can be long, and having a night to rest, settle into Guatemala, and adjust before the journey to the lake can make the experience feel much easier and grounded.

If you arrive early, you can simply meet the Coherence group at the airport the following day for the shared shuttle transfer.

Extending Your Stay

We also highly encourage extending your stay before or after the retreat if your schedule allows. Guatemala is an incredibly beautiful and diverse country with so much to explore beyond Lake Atitlán.

Whether you want to spend more time by the lake, visit Antigua, explore local markets and volcanoes, or simply slow down and soak in the magic of the country, it’s absolutely worth giving yourself extra time if you can swing it.

Our team will also send recommendations for places to stay, things to do, and areas we love to help you make the most of your trip.
