Encore Retreat was not born in a boardroom. It started with a single question: what’s next?
In 2023, Ilanit Blumenfeld began imagining something more expansive. A Registered Dietitian and founder of IBG Nutrition, she had spent two decades in the healthcare and food industries building a practice rooted in real, sustainable wellbeing. But she wanted to take that work further, beyond the clinical setting and into the world, bringing together her passion for travel and her expertise in wellness.
She also wanted to build a community; She understood deep connection and shared experiences play an essential role in holistic wellness and longevity.
She envisioned immersive journeys where modern science and ancient wisdom meet. Drawing on her Colombian roots and insider access, Ilanit began curating bespoke retreats for individuals, private groups, and corporations, creating moments that stay with people long after they return home.
Today, Encore Retreat is the realization of that vision. A place to pause, reconnect, and return renewed.
Come as you are. We will meet you there.
