Payment Options
we aim to make the booking process safe, accessible, and convenient for our guests around the world. Because many clients travel internationally and different regions have unique banking restrictions, we offer several reliable and secure payment options.
Why You Need a Verified Account
To ensure smooth and successful payments, we strongly recommend that all clients create and verify accounts with one or more of our supported payment providers before booking.
Verification is essential because:
It prevents payment failures or delays
It allows higher transaction limits
It ensures compliance with global financial regulations
It protects both the client and the retreat from fraud
It guarantees that your booking can be processed immediately
Most payment providers require identity verification (KYC) before allowing high-value transactions such as retreat reservations.
We recommend having at least one of the following verified accounts:
Revolut
Binance
Banxa
Stripe-enabled card
Verifying in advance ensures a smooth, stress-free booking process.

You don’t create an account on Banxa.com directly; instead, you can place your order using the Banxa.com payment gateway and complete the KYC (Know Your Customer) process when you make your first purchase through a partner platform that uses Banxa’s services. During this process, you will provide personal information and submit documents for verification to be able to use their services for buying cryptocurrency with fiat currency.

- Enter payment information: After successfully verifying your identity, you will be able to enter your payment details to complete the purchase.
- Wait for verification: The verification process happens in the background. If successful, your order will be fulfilled.
- Review order and payment: Make sure your payment information is correct before finalizing the transaction.
