Alkebulan Oasis
and Retreat
Set on twenty private acres along Virginia's waterfront
Relax. Enjoy. Commune.
Are you a spiritual or social group with purpose, a corporation, or a gathering of friends or family seeking a private destination — an oasis with a comfortable, homey feeling? Welcome. You have found the Alkebulan Oasis and Retreat Center: an exceptional, expansive, yet private locale for retreats, workshops, reunions, writers' clubs, camping, and gatherings designed for focused thinking, serenity, and meaningful interaction.
Twenty private acres on the Northern Neck
A three-level waterfront dwelling anchors the grounds — cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, a light-filled aviary, and covered verandas. Beyond the house, pasture, pond, and tree-draped trails unfold across twenty quiet acres where eagles, blue herons, and foxes pass through.
