RETREATS
Every day is a meeting point
for those on the Journey
to a higher self.
We agree with the local indigenous cultures that people are a part of nature, not separate from it. Immerse your group inside our holistic grouping of sustainable spaces, reflecting the essence of their pure environment - an organic surrounding that connects each soul with fulfillment, consciousness and gratitude.
GUADUA Shala
The main shala was designed especially to be a home for yoga and wellness practices. A place to combine physical exercise with mindful awareness as the ocean waves blissfully hum their never-ending song.
90 SqM Space for up to 36 Mats
with Hydration Station :
Set alongside the shala, your needs are lovingly cared for by our caretaker, who is ready with a cool, moist towel and an offering of cucumber water, iced herbal infusions, power shots, cacao nibs, tea & coffee, and personalized service with one permanent waiter.
Yoga platform:
Protected in the shade of the almond forest, meters from the ocean, we can adapt the platform to the group's needs. The overall size is roughly 13x8 meters and it is home to 32 Mats.
Beach BonFires:
The four elements mix together where the ocean meets the land covered by the sky. Mats and cushions provide comfort as a ritual is born on the beach.
Fire Circle:
Sitting in a circle under the stars, warmed by fire and communal energy. This is one of the oldest human connection points. A cushion under the bum is always lovely too!
EXPERIENCES:

Cultural Activities with Indigenous Communities:
A relationship is born of mutual respect. A longstanding friendship allows requests to the local indigenous communities to share their wisdom..
Beach Lunch Set Up:
A long low table glides along the sand. Love, gather and share in the bounty of the Caribbean sun.
BOHO Dinner Set Up:
Night falls, and a group of up to 16 gathers in the cozy embrace of palm-roofed privacy. A tableau of local organic indulgence puts all in touch with the spirit of the world.
