What to Expect During Your Week With Us!

A week to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself — body, mind, and spirit. Mornings begin with yoga by the sea, followed by fresh, farm-to-table meals and nourishing coconuts under the sun. Flow with the tides through surf sessions, holistic treatments, and sacred self-care rituals like sound healing, cacao ceremony, and restorative women’s practices. Explore hidden coves on a sailing trip, rest in seaside hammocks, and find balance between adventure and stillness. This is more than a retreat — it’s a journey back to your most radiant self.”

A sacred pause from the fast-paced, day to day routine to slow down and deeply nourish yourself.
