Hyfen is a new platform created by Foreigner, offering flexible, perpetually hybrid 7-day creative retreats designed for friends and like-minded individuals. Each week has a unique theme, providing a curated space for inspiration, relaxation, and creative expression.

H—fen will run from January 13 to February 23, 2025, during the exciting Carnival ramp-up season in Trinidad (but not during Carnival itself). Each week has a different theme:

Week 1 (Jan 13 - 20): Outdoor & Wellness

Week 2 (Jan 20 - 27): Art & Design

Week 3 (Jan 27 - Feb 3): Photography & Filmmaking

Week 4 (Feb 3 - 10): Outdoor & Wellness II

Week 5 (Feb 10 - 17): Music & Experience Design

Week 6 (Feb 17 - 22): Food & Culinary Arts

The total fee for H—fen is $1,299, which includes both flight and accommodations. The initial deposit ranges from $399 to $499, depending on your departure city. Flights will be booked with either United or JetBlue, or you may choose to book your own flight if preferred.

If you’d like to share a room (with either two twin beds or a full/queen bed), the cost can be reduced. Room-sharing arrangements will be made based on request and availability.

The $1,299 fee covers:

Round-trip flight to Trinidad via United or JetBlue (you are also welcome to book your own flight).

Accommodation at Vallée Cachée, a premier vacation rental with a pool, rooftop, and workspaces.

Please note that food, local transportation, and activities during the retreat are the guest's responsibility.
