Set on the Dominican Republic’s breathtaking Caribbean coast, this immersive getaway offers a chance to step out of everyday pressure and begin the new year feeling grounded, refreshed, and inspired.
Each day brings a thoughtful blend of yoga, meditation, breathwork, mindfulness practices, nourishing meals, meaningful conversation, and time in nature. There will be space to move, rest, reflect, and reconnect — with yourself, with others, and with the simple beauty of being fully present.
Plenty of free time is built in as well. You can relax on the beach, explore the local area, swim in the ocean, read in a hammock, or simply do nothing at all.
Whether you are looking for clarity for the year ahead, deeper connection, renewed energy, or a warm and peaceful winter escape, this retreat is designed to help you reset and return home nourished in body, mind, and spirit.
Las Galeras sits on the eastern side of the Samana Peninsula and is known for its secluded beaches, rich culture, and ecotourism. Nature lovers will appreciate visits to Playa Rincon, mangrove forests, bird sanctuaries, waterfalls, and more.
Some of these places are included in the retreat excursions, though you are warmly encouraged to stay longer and continue exploring the beauty of Samana.
The retreat takes place in an oceanfront boutique hotel in Las Galeras, Samana. With ocean-view rooms, a tropical setting, and a peaceful atmosphere throughout, it offers the perfect environment to relax and unwind.
Though private and tucked away, the hotel is within walking or biking distance of small shops and restaurants. Amenities include a private beach, outdoor swimming pool, spa services, a cocktail bar, and unlimited complimentary use of kayaks, bikes, and snorkeling equipment.
You will enjoy three nourishing meals each day, prepared onsite with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. The menu includes international, Caribbean, Latin American, Asian, and Dominican dishes, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options available.
Wondering how six days in paradise will unfold? Some activities are part of the retreat program, while others are yours to enjoy in your own time.
You will take part in two 90-minute classes each day. These open-level sessions are suitable for all, with variations offered so you can explore and adapt the practice to your needs.
Morning classes are breath-centered and combine classical Vinyasa and hatha yoga principles. The practice closes with gratitude journaling, guided meditation, and a gentle Savasana.
Evening classes are more lunar and cooling, blending mindfulness practices with restorative and Yin poses. Each evening ends with a full Yoga Nidra meditation for expanded consciousness and deep relaxation.
* Classes are 90 minutes unless notified otherwise.
Two memorable group excursions are included in your retreat experience.
The full-day excursion takes you to Los Haitises National Park, where you will explore mangrove forests, bird sanctuaries, ancient caves with Taíno pictographs and petroglyphs, and enjoy a traditional Dominican lunch while taking in the region’s natural beauty and culture.
The second excursion is a half-day boat trip to Playa Rincón, often recognized as one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Along the way, you will enjoy freshly caught fish prepared by local cooks for lunch, then spend time swimming, relaxing, and soaking in the Caribbean scenery.
During free time, you can also walk the scenic trail to Playa La Playita, borrow complimentary kayaks or snorkeling equipment, paddle to the small island offshore, or simply unwind by the beach or pool.
