With its crystal clear turquoise waters and white powder beaches, the Caribbean is an obvious choice for a retreat. Here’s our top recommendations on yoga, wellness, fitness and pure relaxation Caribbean retreats.
Solful Trust, Surrender, Adventure Retreat in Puerto Rico, 8th – 12th March
Hosted by Solshine Retreats, we invite you to join Cait Lawson and Alexandra LaChance for an all inclusive 4 night/5 day retreat in the lush Caribbean town of Rincon, Puerto Rico. Set on the west coast of the island, Rincon is known for its pristine waters, world-class waves and has truly earned its nickname of “the land of beautiful sunsets.” You will be living, playing, and rejuvenating your mind, body, and soul in a breathtaking oceanfront paradise retreat. These 5 blissful days will be filled with yoga, meditation, paddle boarding, SUP yoga, healthy local cuisine, and making friendships that will last a lifetime.
Connect with other like-minded individuals in a fun, safe and competition-free environment while giving back to the local community. Villa Playa Maria is eco-conscious in their practices and encourages people to use reef friendly sunscreens that they supply and pick up trash.
We are uber eco-friendly and constantly looking for a way to conserve and protect our beaches, reefs and ocean. Our teachers are yoginis, surfers, eco-conscious and both part of our incredible community here in Rincon. While we can help attendees to truly “ignite their soul” by doing something mindful for their well-being, while also educating and engaging others in contributing to conservation here on island and in other areas of their lives. For every reservation at the Villa they plant a tree. Send me more info!

Anguilla 4 Night Relax Recharge Retreat, 30th March – 3rd April
Relax and recharge for 4 nights, with a dash of fun. No cell phones or laptops as this is a technological detox, along with light healthy meals, yoga, meditation and relaxation. This is a mind, body, and technological detox, with a dash of fun! The fun is one night out for dinner, some prosecco or healthy cocktails, and possible dancing.
Be ready to relax, and let go of all your daily stresses as you unwind by the sun, sand and surf and put your laptops and cell phones away for the duration of the trip. Too often our busy lives have us in the “Fight or Flight” mode of the sympathetic nervous system which causes increased cortisol production, which causes the inability to lose weight and premature ageing. Decreased nutrient absorption, decrease in thyroid hormone, decrease in sex hormones, increase in inflammation and much more. By resting on the beach, absorbing your Vitamin D, reducing SAD, and participating in gentle flow yoga and meditation twice daily you allow yourself to slip into the parasympathetic system, which is where the body does its healing work. During your 4-night stay of relaxation and clean eating, your host Tina, a trained Health Coach will also bestow upon you fun tips and facts for improving health, decreasing stress, managing weight and how to indulge your sweet tooth-high quality style. Send me more info.
