Tantra Hawaii | Private Tantric Couples Retreat in Honolulu

Intimacy in Hawaii, just for the two of you

Amber Ricci runs private sessions for couples on Oahu, with no group and no strangers in the room. It's you, your partner and Amber, working with breath, eye contact, touch and honest conversation at a pace that suits you both. Tried talk therapy or sex coaching and still want something you feel in your body? Here you stop talking about it and start practicing.

Amber builds each session around the couple in front of her: your strengths, your challenges, and what you want more of. Newer couples come to start on solid ground, and couples twenty years in come to get the spark back. In the room you experience deep presence with each other, without phones, kids or work getting in the way. You leave with practices you keep using long after you fly home.

Searching for tantra near me from a hotel in Waikiki? Amber comes to you, or you come out to her private estate, about 25 minutes from Honolulu.

Private sessions for couples on Oahu

Three sessions, each one going further than the last. Start gentle, or give a whole half day to each other.

Taste of Tantra

1 hr 45 min $220

This is where couples start. Amber guides you through breathing together, eye gazing, gentle partner movement and loving touch, then gives you simple ways to say what you want and hear what your partner wants.

It stays affectionate rather than sexual, which makes it the easy yes for couples who are curious and a little nervous. New couples and long-term couples both get a lot out of it.

Meet Amber Ricci, your tantra yoga teacher

Amber has taught tantra to couples for 23 years and has run 11 couples workshops.

She trained in Self Tantra, then co-taught it with psychotherapist Dr. Freddy Weaver, author of Creative Self Discovery, his son Freddy Weaver Jr. of TantraNova, and Janet and Sasha Lessin on Maui.

Her approach to tantra relationships

A tantra relationship runs on honest talk. Amber has studied Nonviolent Communication and Sensuality 101, so her sessions cover how you talk to each other as much as how you touch each other.

Away from private sessions, Amber has taught her own fusion of Kundalini and Vinyasa for over 27 years, plays Tibetan and crystal singing bowls for sound healing, and leads retreats from Bali to Iceland. She's a professional singer too, and has opened for Ziggy Marley. She's funny, warm and easy to talk to.

Your private temple on Oahu, 25 minutes from Honolulu

Sessions take place at Amber's home estate, at a park, or at your hotel or home. The estate is completely private, with room to relax before and after you practice. With a pool, hot tub and waterfall on site, it feels like a private wellness retreat.

There's a waterfall and a koi pond, a pool and a hot tub, chakra singing bowls, and a covered lanai where you practice rain or shine, so weather never cancels a session. For those few hours, the whole place is your temple.

Questions about couples sessions in Hawaii

Do we need any tantra experience?

No. Taste of Tantra is built for first-timers, and Amber goes at your pace. Couples with years of practice go deeper with the Tantric Journey or the Island Journey.

Is couples tantra sexual?

Taste of Tantra is playful and loving, not sexual. It is breath, eye contact, movement and touch. The Tantric Journey goes further with sensory rituals and sacred spot massage. You set the limits in every session, and nothing happens unless you both say yes.

Where do Tantra Hawaii sessions take place?

At Amber's private estate on Oahu, about 25 minutes from Honolulu, at a park, or at your hotel or home. The Tantric Island Journey includes pickup and drop-off and visits one to three sacred sites around the island.

Do you offer tantra on Maui, Kauai or the Big Island?

Yes. Amber travels to the other Hawaiian islands for the cost of her flight plus a $200 travel fee.

What happens if it rains?

Nothing changes. The estate has a covered lanai, so sessions there never depend on the weather.

How much do the sessions cost?

Taste of Tantra is $220. The Tantric Journey is $280 for 2.5 hours or $350 for 3.5 hours. The Tantric Island Journey is $530 for 5 to 5.5 hours, plus $70 for each extra hour. Prices include tax. A gas fee applies for locations far outside Honolulu.

Are there add-ons?

Add a 30-minute organic couples body scrub for $60, guided or unguided, in vanilla coconut, chocolate or chocolate peppermint. Sessions also combine into one longer package.

Is a tantra session a good honeymoon or anniversary gift?

Yes. The Tantric Island Journey is a half day on Oahu for just the two of you, with hotel pickup, sacred sites, massage, time to swim and photos taken on your own phone. For something shorter, the 1 hr 45 min session fits into any afternoon.

Are sessions for couples only?

Yes. Every session is private, with only you, your partner and Amber.
