Hi, I’m Hamza, the founder of Makanoo

Over the past twenty years, I’ve attended many retreats, including yoga, surf, dance, acrobatics and personal development. I’ve also helped a venue owner run their retreat space. Alongside that, I’ve spent fifteen years working in data science, AI and online marketing for large technology companies, mainly in travel and hospitality.

I noticed how difficult choosing a retreat venue could be: discovering new places, endless emails, mismatched quotes, different terms, and committing real money without a clear picture of what it would mean for your group.

That’s where Makanoo comes in: helping retreat leaders find places that fit their vision and choose them with confidence, leaving more time and energy for the experience they want to create.

We’re bringing together the largest catalog of retreat venues, alongside practice spaces and retreat services. Our smart matching understands your brief and finds places that fit your needs. We also help you get rates and compare costs, inclusions and terms, making the decision clearer.

If you have a question or would like to share your experience of planning or hosting retreats, I’d love to hear from you.

Hamza
