From your own words to a clear choice

Describe your retreat. Makanoo finds the places that fit, asks them for rates and availability, and lays the quotes side by side.

01 · Venue search

Illustrative product preview. As a yoga retreat brief is written, twelve venues are checked against it: dates, a remote setting in Europe, a bright yoga shala with equipment, and vegan meals. Three venues match and are shortlisted: Garden House, Hill Studio and Lake Lodge. Rates and availability are then requested from all three. This is a fictional example; no inquiries are sent.

Illustrative quotes

Your quotes, simplified. Fictional quotes become a common comparison for four nights, four meal days and 10–18 paying participants plus one organizer. The selected retreat selling price is €850 per paying participant. Try €750, €850, €950 to compare pricing scenarios on the same chart scale. The chart labelled Profit shows revenue minus venue costs; other retreat expenses and taxes are excluded. Garden House uses two paying guests per room, a 12-guest minimum and a separate organizer room. Its organizer room is free strictly above 16 guests, starting at 17. Hill Studio bills the organizer as one extra person. Lake Lodge charges a whole-venue rental and meals for at least 15 people including the organizer. Practice space and organizer accommodation are included at Lake Lodge; meals are charged separately. These examples do not establish availability.

Questions organizers ask

Is Makanoo for me?

Makanoo is for retreat organizers planning yoga, Pilates, meditation, fitness, calisthenics, spiritual, detox, art and other retreat experiences. Whether you’re organizing your first retreat or already run them regularly, Makanoo helps you find suitable venues and compare your options.

We’re starting with venues in Europe, with plans to expand to other regions quickly.

What is special about Makanoo?

We’ve built the largest catalog of retreat venues. We’re also sourcing practice spaces with the right equipment and retreat chefs. Our smart matching is designed to understand the brief you write in your own words and find the options that best fit your retreat’s needs.

Makanoo also makes venue rates, inclusions and terms easier to compare, so you can see how your choices affect your retreat’s finances.

When can I use Makanoo?

We’re opening soon to a first group of organizers. It’s free while we finalize our offering, and we’ll tell you well before anything changes.

What happens after I request access?

We’ll contact you to give you access to test Makanoo for free. You’ll also receive occasional updates from us, and you can unsubscribe at any time.

I run a venue. Can I get involved?
