Aestra Retreats does not arrange transfers to and from the retreat location.

The retreat location is located within an hour's drive from either Schiphol Airport or Amsterdam Central Station.

We recommend using taxi, Uber, or public transportation. Staxi provides a reliable airport pickup service. Please be mindful of unauthorized taxis as the airport and train stations.

We will provide more details about the retreat location and travel tips closer to the retreat date.

Day-Before Arrival (For Long-Distance Travelers):

Recommendation: Arrive in Amsterdam the day before and stay overnight at a hotel near Amsterdam Centraal Station. Benefit: Allows for a relaxed morning departure to the retreat venue and reduces the risk of delays on the first retreat day.

Arrival at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport: To ensure you can comfortably join the retreat on time, please arrange your flight to arrive before 10:30 a.m. CET (local time) on the first day of your retreat. We understand that this arrival window may be restrictive. If you’re having difficulty booking a flight that lands before 10:30 a.m. CET, feel free to reach out to us at info@aestraretreats.com, and we’ll gladly assist you in planning your travel.

Next-Day Departure (Optional for Flexibility):

If you prefer a more relaxed schedule, consider booking a hotel near Amsterdam Centraal Station and departing the following day. This option gives you time to unwind after the retreat before continuing your journey.

Departure from Amsterdam Schiphol Airport: For your return journey, we recommend booking flights that depart after 7:00 p.m. CET on the final day of the retreat. The program officially concludes at 4:00 p.m. CET, and you should allow for at least 60 minutes of travel time to the airport. This timing should give you plenty of time to clear customs and catch your flight without stress.

Unfortunately, we aren't able to offer an extra night of accommodations at the retreat venue.
