Retreats

Exclusive Model & Photographer Retreats

Where creativity meets opportunity.

Our retreats are more than just photoshoots — they’re full-scale creative experiences designed to help models grow, elevate their brand, and connect with other talent from around the country. Hosted in stunning destinations like Puerto Rico, Scottsdale, and Miami, each retreat is carefully curated to blend professional development with a vacation-style vibe — giving you the ultimate balance of work and play.

Over the course of 3 or 8 days, models will stay in a luxury home with other driven creatives, shooting with experienced photographers and videographers, receiving styling support, and working directly with real clothing and swimwear brands. You’ll walk away with professional-grade content, new connections, and the kind of behind-the-scenes memories that make it all unforgettable.

Our goal is to provide you with unlimited content opportunities in multiple outfits and settings — including mansion interiors, scenic outdoor locations, poolside setups, and beach shoots. You’ll also have time to relax, explore, and take in the atmosphere of wherever we are — whether that’s the tropical beauty of Puerto Rico or the high-energy scene of Miami Swim Week.

At the heart of every retreat is a focus on community, education, and exposure. We’ll guide you through how to pose, how to shoot, how to work with brands, and how to carry yourself professionally in a competitive industry. Plus, you’ll get exclusive access to networking opportunities with fellow models, creatives, and sometimes even brand reps looking for new talent.

This isn’t just a retreat — it’s a launchpad for your modeling career, and an experience that will stay with you long after the last picture is taken.

Limited spots. Real opportunities. Unforgettable content.

Be part of the next chapter in modern modeling.

PR Trip 1? Unforgettable.

From the mansion to the beaches, the energy, vibes, and content were on another level. Every moment felt like a movie — and if you weren’t there, you definitely missed out.

But don’t worry…

Tropical Oasis PR #2 is coming this June. Bigger shoots. More creators. More adventures. Even better accommodations. And yes — even more heat.

  • What Sets Gichy Retreats Apart?

    1. We’re Experience-Driven, Not Just Photo-Driven

    Our retreats go beyond just getting cute pictures—we create experiences that help you grow as a model, build confidence, gain knowledge, and walk away with real industry insight.

    2. Unlimited Content Opportunities

    Unlike many retreats that limit shoot time, Gichy gives you the freedom to shoot as much content as you want during your stay, with multiple photographers, videographers, and stunning backdrops.

    3. We’re About Real Education, Not Just Hype

    Workshops, posing guidance, runway coaching, and brand-building insight are all part of the experience. Our goal is to help you become a full-time model—not just an Instagram one.

    4. Diverse Model Community

    We welcome all levels of experience and create a space where seasoned models and newcomers can collaborate and support each other—no exclusivity, no cliques.

    5. Built-In Networking

    You’ll connect not only with 25–50 models, but also with brands, photographers, stylists, and creators from around the country. The relationships built at Gichy retreats often lead to paid work, long-term partnerships, and real career moves.

    6. Accessible Pricing with High-End Value

    We keep our retreats affordable while still delivering a luxury, professional experience. You’re getting the value of multiple high-end shoots, brand collabs, and accommodations for a fraction of what you’d pay separately.

    7. It’s More Than a Weekend—It’s a Movement

    We’re creating a community, not just hosting events. Once you’re in the Gichy circle, you’re part of something bigger—with access to future opportunities, collaborations, and events nationwide.


  • For the Miami Swim Week Model House, you’re getting 8 nights in a luxury house for just $1,000 total. That comes out to $125 per night, which is already a steal for Miami during Swim Week—but that’s only part of what you’re getting.

    This isn’t just a stay—it’s a full content experience:

    • Photographers & videographers will be in-house daily

    • You’ll be able to shoot unlimited content for 8 days straight

    • There will be guest photographers stopping by, giving you more opportunities for variety and collabs

    • You’ll be surrounded by other models, making it easy to network, grow, and build real connections

    • You’ll get invites to off-site events other models are attending, making this more than just a house—it’s a full Swim Week takeover

    • Local models and creators will also stop by, expanding your reach even more

    And when you really break it down:

    A photographer or videographer alone would cost more than $1,000 for 8 days of content creation. So think of the $1,000 like this:

    • 75% = full-time access to your own content team

    • 25% = your accommodations

    That means you’re basically paying $35/night to stay in a content house and get daily shoots. No photographer or studio offers that kind of deal.

  • This isn’t just a retreat, it’s a model’s dream come true.

    For just $1,000, here’s what you get:

    • 4 days, 3 nights in a luxury tropical setting

    • Your own private hut for a beautiful, personal, and relaxing stay

    • Only 10–15 models per slot, giving you a more exclusive and personalized experience

    • A total of 25–30 models across both slots, with even more local PR models joining select days

    • Unlimited content creation with professional photographers & videographers

    • Access to brand-sponsored shoots, styled looks, and creative sets

    • Edited images + RAW files from your sessions

    • Runway practice, posing help, and genuine networking

    • And of course—a mini vacation in Puerto Rico

    This setup gives each model the time, attention, and space to shine, create, and connect at a deeper level.

    And when you break it down:

    • You’re essentially paying $35/night for your luxury accommodations

    • The rest goes toward full access to a dedicated content team, styled experiences, and a professional environment tailored to help you grow your modeling career

    No photographer or videographer offers this level of daily access for this price—especially not in paradise.

    This isn’t just content. It’s community, career development, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience rolled into one.


  • At Gichy, we believe in giving models the time and flexibility they need to plan, prepare, and invest in their future. That’s why we release our full summer retreat calendar early—so you’re not rushing, stressed, or unsure.

    We want you to have:

    • Plenty of time to save up

    Our retreats are more than vacations—they’re once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to build your portfolio, connect with brands, and grow as a model, all for a price that gives you real value without the industry gatekeeping.

    The earlier you apply and get accepted, the more flexible your payment options become. We offer financing through:

    • Klarna (via our website)

    • Personal invoice payment plans tailored to your needs

    Join early. Plan smart. And get ready for a summer that could change your career.
