  • We don’t want to brag, but like, our food is kind of incredible. Water, coffee & meals are included.

A typical day: roll out of bed, grab a coffee or tea, and head to yoga or hula hooping class... you’re also welcome to sleep in and lounge around!

Breakfast could be a tropical fruit bowl, avocado toast with cured fish, typical Nica breakfast… Order a different dish daily to try them all!

Take a nap under the mesquite tree or a post-breakfast beach walk

Midday will be a surf lesson or free time. Spend it however you wish and soak it all up!

Maria is your hoop teacher, no experience needed. She’s a professional hula hooper (yes, that’s a thing!), plus a shuffle teacher, wellness coach, and total vibe queen! You’ll adore her.

Feel free to order a snack or smoothie. Treat it like your personal restaurant (because it is).

But wait, excursion day is a WHOLE different vibe.

  • Melanie is an inspiring leader and I felt confident in the itinerary and locations that were planned for us. I had a great time going somewhere new and learning how to surf. I found her hoop teaching style to be incredibly accessible.

  • This retreat started something beautiful for me. It was the perfect space for growth, reflection, healing, and resting.

  • What a sweet, blissful experience. Mariah and Melanie created such a unique, safe, loving space for a group of beautiful individuals to come together to explore, unwind, learn, and share together. This retreat felt like a trip to another slower-paced, understanding, and beautiful world. I can’t wait to see what else they have up their sleeve.

    Dianna Ricotta

  • This retreat couldn’t have been more beautiful. So much connectedness to nature, our bodies, our minds and the women on the retreat.

One of the best days of the retreat is excursion day (well, I mean it’s impossible to pick just one but stick with me here). We get picked up in the lodge after breakfast and take our A/C’d shuttle van out for the day. First stop? The Mirador de Catarina, home of the 23,000 year old volcanic crater lake, Laguna de Apoyo. This is a special place, you can feel the magic. Next we boat the largest lake in Central America, Lake Nicaragua, stopping to feed monkeys and check out some of the 365+ mini islands. Then we hop to the colorful colonial city of Granada for lunch, stroll around the cobblestone streets, and catch sunset at the best spot in town. This day wraps up with an epic (and optional) mini hike along the rim of a crater. Once the sun goes down, the bubbling lava of Masaya Volcano will blow your mind. Nicaragua is incredible. And you’ll never be the same after this trip.

I lived in Nicaragua for nine months and fell in love with everything about it. Getting to show you around a little slice of this country lights me up. Come get inspired by Nicaragua’s epic landscapes and warm people.
