Luxurious Chez Shea Retreats
We have been offering overnight Retreats at Chez Shea since 2008 when we were first approached by a Group of Ladies from the Charlottetown area to create a two night retreat so they wouldn’t have to leave the Island. They didn’t want to waste their valuable “Girl Time” driving. This Group still comes every year, and we have become very good Friends with each one of them.
Our Retreats have grown organically primarily from feedback and input we received from our Retreat Guests. We have Groups who come back the same weekend every year. It’s notable when Ladies arrive, show themselves to their rooms, get situated in the Cozy Room and then let us know they’ve arrived……self-serve at it’s finest. We love that they make themselves right “at home”.
The Camaraderie we’ve had the privilege to witness and at times, be included is truly humbling. There is something to be said about the deep connections and bonding the Ladies experience while at Chez Shea. Stepping away from daily routines and responsibilities allows individuals to unwind. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals creates a sense of community and support. The Girls can share their struggles and triumphs fostering an atmosphere of empathy and encouragement in a safe environment…………. remember what happens at Chez Shea – stays at Chez Shea ………….except of course if you wander off to the Pub in your robes and someone snaps a picture for Facebook !?!?!? Did I mention the laughter at these Retreats?!?!?
So here’s the scoop…………….

We require a minimum of Six Guests for the package Retreats. Six to Eight Guests are the optimal number from a booking perspective. There’s lots of flexibility here, for example if you have a friend who simply wants to join you for a meal and spend the afternoon or evening with you all, that is doable. We don’t book in other guests when we book a package retreat so your group will have the Inn to yourselves.
We provide robes and slippers – the official uniform of our retreats. Services can be added on and /or substituted depending on time availability. If your massage is performed by one of our therapists, a receipt for insurance can be issued for most major insurance companies and this can be confirmed prior to your arrival.
We offer a complimentary 24/7 Coffee/Tea station.
Each Guest room has it’s own private ensuite bath.
You are more than welcome to bring along your own “Liquid Spirits” and munchies although Groups have learned over the years to go light on the munchies as the meals are quite substantial.
Keep your load light.
We have a large selection of glassware for your use so no need to pack glassware. If you are celebrating a birthday or other event, and have a cake we provide flatware, plates, napkins, etc..
Sample Overview for the One Night Retreat on a Friday night:
Check in anytime after 4:00pm Friday evening.
Dinner served around the 6:00pm mark or once everyone has arrived……. time for a cocktail before dinner.
The evening is spent socializing at the Inn or a number of Groups have planned the Friday night stay so they can take in the amazing musical entertainment at the O’Shea’s Pub – a mere three-minute walk from the Inn. Roland Beaulieu provides incredible music every Friday night and there’s no cover charge.
Breakfast Saturday morning is served between 8:30 and 9:30. Spa services commence at 9:30 and continue to completion.
Lunch is our famous Chacuterierer Board which we put out around the 1:00pm mark and leave up until Everyone has had an opportunity to nosh before or after their Spa service.

Sample Overview for the Two Night Retreat on a Friday night:
The overview for the Two Night Retreat is similar to the One Night Retreat except that dinner is served Saturday around the 6:00pm mark once all spa services are completed, a second nights’ accommodation with breakfast Sunday morning and checkout when you’re ready to leave.
We work closely with the Group Coordinator to get details of Everyone’s Spa service request, food sensitivities or allergies, special requests, etc.. We actually have a spreadsheet developed by a Retreat Guest for use that makes the booking go very smoothly.
Retreat season is mid-September to mid-June. We require a valid Visa or Mastercard to confirm the booking once a date is decided upon. The card simply confirms the rooms, and spa session times in our system. There’s nothing booked on that card.
Cancellation for a Retreat package is two weeks prior to check in.
