If you’ve ever returned from a vacation feeling like you needed another one, you’re not alone. More travelers are seeking a slower, more intentional way to explore the world.

There’s something truly magical that happens when women travel together. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or an international adventure, women-only vacations create an atmosphere of empowerment, ease, and joy that’s hard to replicate in mixed groups.

Packing for a Reading Retreat is not like packing for a high-speed “see-10-cities-in-7-days” tour where you live in wrinkled clothes and snack on protein bars while running for the next train.

At Slow Travel Co., we believe in traveling with intention. Our retreats take place in sunlit villas, coastal manors, and lush landscapes around the globe. They’re designed so you can move at your own pace, follow your curiosity, and carve out some still moments, all while surrounded by a group of like-minded women who are doing the same. It’s the girl gang version of a Nancy Meyers movie (she's literally the best), sunny, stylish, and soul-nourishing.

Our reading retreats are about giving your TBR the attention it deserves, cultivating new, bookish connections, and exploring the literary scene of whatever destination you’re traveling to.

If you’ve ever returned from a long vacation, stepped foot in your home country’s airport and felt an overwhelming sense of relief to finally be able to rest… slow travel might be for you. See if you’re a match for this slower, more intentional way of traveling. 

Travel is supposed to renew and re-energize us, but the truth is, it often does the opposite. Slow travel is relaxing on vacation, because vacations are meant for relaxing.

Slow Travel Co. is designed for women who want to travel solo — but not alone. Who need a break from the hustle and bustle of their daily lives. Who want their vacations to actually feel like vacations, instead of yet another check on an endless to-do list. And who want to see the world and find adventure, but not stress out doing so.
