Come alive in the sunlight.
Join us for five vibrant days on the island of St. John, where laid-back exploration meets soul-deep renewal. You’ll hike coastal trails, float in turquoise waters, sail into fiery Caribbean sunsets, and unwind at our boutique-style hideaway.
Created for women craving freedom, adventure, and space to reconnect with themselves, Sunwoven isn’t just a retreat—it’s a refreshing reset. A chance to remember the version of you that feels playful, curious, and full of possibility—and to return home feeling lighter, clearer, and fully alive.
Welcome to Sunwoven
a boutique island retreat for women craving freedom, connection, and sunlit adventure.
Picture this: You step off the ferry into golden island light. The breeze smells like salt and hibiscus, and somewhere in the distance, steel drums dance with the sound of crashing waves. Within minutes, you arrive at The Flamingo House—your boutique-style home base for the week. The vibe is easy, the air is warm, and your only job is to slow down and take it all in.
Affectionately known as “Love City,” St. John is more than a destination—it’s a feeling. With protected pristine beaches, lively culture, and no passport needed for U.S. travelers, it’s the kind of place that softens your edges and invites you to live more freely, more lightly, and more like yourself.
The island sets the tone. The retreat brings it to life. And you? You just have to show up.

Accommodations
Welcome to The Flamingo House
Tucked into the hillside just above Cruz Bay, The Flamingo House is a private boutique property reserved exclusively for our group—offering the perfect blend of connection and calm. With six unique suites, each space can be booked all to yourself or shared with a friend—offering plenty of room, comfort, and privacy either way. Every suite includes its own patio, private bathroom, cozy Anthropologie bedding, a well-stocked kitchen(ette), snorkel gear, and other thoughtful essentials to ensure a comfortable stay.
With ocean views, tropical gardens, and breezy balconies, this boho-beachy home base invites you to fully unwind and soak in the magic of island life. You’ll feel worlds away, yet still just a short stroll from Cruz Bay’s waterfront, restaurants, and shops. From morning coffee on your balcony to evening gatherings under the stars, this is your sanctuary for sunlit rest, reconnection, and freedom.

Each suite is beautifully appointed and thoughtfully designed. All rooms are priced the same—so you can choose based on your preferred vibe, not your budget. We’ll assign rooms based on your preferences and availability at the time of booking to ensure the best fit for you.
