How It All Began

Namastay Glamping Retreat began with an unexpected pause. In 2024, after fracturing my femur, life forced us to slow down in a way we never had before. What started as a difficult moment became a turning point — a chance to step away from the constant rush, the pressures of work, and the anxiety that came with it.

During that time of healing, I found myself craving peace, nature, and a deeper sense of presence. I realized how badly I needed a place that offered real rest — physically, mentally and emotionally. That seed of stillness became the beginning of a bigger dream: creating a space where others could exhale, too. It was born from one simple desire: to slow down & reconnect with nature. where comfort doesn’t compete with simplicity, and where guests could breathe a little deeper the moment they arrived.

In 2025, that vision found its home on a quiet acreage in Magna Bay. What started as a single idea - a peaceful yoga deck under the trees- quickly grew into a vision for a full wellness-inspired retreat grounded in intention. a place where people could gather, pause, reset, and experience the beauty of the Shuswap in a more meaningful way.

With every tent we built, every cedar board placed, and every trail cleared by hand, this retreat became a reflection of what matters most to us: nature, intention, community, and presence.

Our Vision

Namastay is designed to offer luxury in simplicity — an off-grid experience that feels grounding, restorative, and connected. Whether guests come for yoga, adventure, or quiet moments by the fire, we want each stay to feel like a return to yourself.

a journey still unfolding

As we continue developing new spaces — from the yoga pavilion to the meditation garden and thermal wellness area — our mission stays the same:
To create a peaceful haven where guests can rest, realign, and rediscover the art of slow living.
