In a peaceful, all-inclusive environment, couples step away from the pace of everyday life and enjoy unhurried time to rest, reconnect, and deepen their relationship with God and one another. It’s a meaningful investment in the relationship that matters most.
Perched atop the southwestern plateau of North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Old Edwards Inn & Spa invites you to shed your cares and leave the world behind. Anchoring Highlands’ charming Main Street, the lushly landscaped Relais & Châteaux retreat is the perfect setting for a few days of rest and reconnection, with spectacular mountain views and opportunities for those unexpected moments that make life brighter.






The times vary slightly based on the length of the retreat and destination, but generally, retreats begin in the late afternoon or early evening on the first day and end by 11 am on Sunday morning.
