Vickyswellwithin grew over the last 13 years after hosting and assisting in various wellness workshops around the world.

Unwind Island RV Retreat: Now Open for Booking After Two Years of Thoughtful Preparation! Welcome to Unwind Island, your centrally located camper haven in West Palm Beach, Florida—a peaceful, 3+ acre tropical oasis entirely encircled by a small, serene natural lake. After more than two years of mindful design, love, and attention to detail, we are proud to open our gates to guests seeking tranquility, nature, and a touch of paradise just minutes from everything. From the moment you arrive, you’ll sense the difference. Nestled in the heart of a vibrant city yet completely shielded by nature, Unwind Island is a rare hidden gem. Here, the sounds of urban life fade, replaced by birdsong, rustling palm fronds, and the gentle whisper of wind over water. This is a retreat where time slows down and nature takes center stage. ✨ The Experience Picture this: You wake up to the golden light of sunrise peeking through the trees, the air rich with the scent of hibiscus and fresh morning dew. You sip your coffee under the shade of mature oaks and palms, while egrets, anhingas, and other native Florida birds glide silently over the water. A few turtles might sun themselves on a nearby log, and if you’re lucky, you might spot a graceful heron stepping along the edge of the lake. Our retreat is perfect for those who value both solitude and accessibility. Located just 7 minutes from Palm Beach International Airport, 10 minutes to Downtown West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Island, Worth Avenue, and several world-class beaches, it’s easy to enjoy everything the area has to offer without the chaos of staying right in the city. Whether you’re here for a short getaway, an extended work-from-paradise stay, or a romantic escape in nature, Unwind Island offers something truly special: space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect
