The Lighthouse Retreat is owned and operated by two Palestinian sisters originally from Toronto, Canada, who turned a long-held dream into a life built on Little Corn Island.
What began as a personal connection to the island grew into a shared vision: to create a small, intentional retreat space where guests feel safe, supported, and deeply at ease.
With backgrounds in hospitality, wellness, and retreat hosting, they understand both sides of the experience; what retreat leaders need to feel supported, and what guests need to truly unwind.
You’ll often find them on the property, welcoming groups, coordinating details, and ensuring everything flows smoothly from arrival to departure.
This is not a large resort operation or 24/7 service.
It’s a hands-on, family-run sanctuary built on care, presence, and genuine connection.
