Unleash your inner wild with a yoga ​retreat unlike any other

Nestled on our own privated Cay on the island of Roatán, Honduras, ​the retreat’s eco-lodge offers a haven of tranquility, where you can ​unwind and connect with nature. Located on the South side of the ​island near French Harbour, the lodge provides a serene atmosphere, ​waterfront access for scuba diving and kayaking, plus a beautiful pool ​and two outdoor yoga palapas.

Q: WH​ERE IS ROATAN LOCATED?

A: Roatán ( Spanish pronunciation: [ro.a.ˈtan]) is an island in the Caribbean, about 65 ​kilometres (40 mi) off the northern coast of Honduras. It is in the Bay Islands archipelago, ​located between the islands of Utila and Guanaja. Roatán lies on the southern edge of the ​Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second-largest barrier reef in the world!!

Q: WH​AT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET TO ROATAN?

A: To fly to Roatan directly from the U.S., you can use American Airlines out of Dallas or ​Miami, Delta Airlines out of Atlanta, or United Airlines out of Houston. Most West Coast ​airports will send you via Houston, or you can take advantage of the Avianca Airlines hub of ​San Salvador airport (in El Salvador); from there you can fly to Roatan in less than an hour ​on daily flights.

Q: When should I arrive and depart?

A: Retreat check-in will begin in the late afternoon on Saturday, August 31st and the ​program will run until check-out on the morning of Friday, September 6th. Round-trip airport​ shuttles are included in the retreat cost. If you choose to stay for any additional days​ before or after the ​r​etreat, we can assist you with finding affordable options.

Q: CA​N I COME WITH MY PARTNER/FRIEND?

A: Absolutely! Just include a note when making your booking and we’ll be sure to place you ​in ​a​ room together.

Q: IS​ THE RETREAT OPEN TO NON-DIVERS?

A: Yes! Though our hope is that this retreat will inspire all our attendees to explore the ​magic of diving, we understand this might not be of interest to everyone. We can ​accommodate non-divers and will do our best to provide snorkeling or other alternative ​activities, but please note that the package price will remain the same a​s​ for those diving.

Q: IS it safe for guests to c​ome alone?

A: Absolutely- Roatan is a very safe island, and we will have our transportation ​represenatatives available to meet you at the airport. And by the end of the retreat, we’re s​ure​ you will have made some wonderful new friends.

Q: Ca​n you cater to vegan/vegetarian/gluten free diets?

A: Yes! Our chefs can accommodate virtually all dietary needs. Please indicate your dietary​ preferences/restrictions/allergies at the time of booking so we can be sure to meet your​ requirements.​

Q: what should i bring?

A: Roatan is a tropical island, and the weather will be hot and humid (~80 degrees, 75-80% ​humidity) with occasional tropical showers.

1. Clothing: Bring loose comfortable clothing, suitable for practicing yoga, bathing suits. ​For walking around, its good to have some light-weight long sleeves and pants to help ​protect against sun and bug bites- see below! For shoes, flip-flops and rugged sandals ​such as tevas or other water shoes are great for walking in the rainforest.
   
2. Sunscreen: Reef-safe sunscreen is a must (reef-friendly brands include Sun Bum or ​Kokuna Sun Care). Sunscreens containing any -benzone derivative cause devastating ​damage to coral reefs, and unfortunately some brands labeled as ‘reef-safe’ are not. ​Read labels, and reach out for recommendations!
   
3. Bug repellent- sand fleas and mosquitoes can be a real nuisance on the island; we’ll ​provide repellent but also plan to bring what works best for you, and have some long ​sleeves/pants for jungle walks. Some people recommend taking a vitamin B supplement ​for ~ 3-4 weeks before the trip to help keep the bugs away.
4. US Cash: You can use US dollars everywhere on the island, but best to have crisp $20 ​bills or smaller denominations. Many places will also accept PayPal, Venmo or credit ​cards, sometimes with additional fees.
5. Hat
6. UVA/UVB Sunglasses
7. Medications – Tylenol, Sinus meds, Ibuprophen and any other prescriptions you may ​need. Bring benadryl – even if you do not have any known allergies, bring this in case ​you have a reaction to bug bites or food.
8. Small First Aid Kit
9. Dry Bag – A dry bag will keep things dry in case it gets wet on a boat, kayak, etc.
10. Mini Flashlight– Roatan has occasional blackouts or time periods where the electricity is ​turned off for “maintenance and repairs.”
11. Reusable water bottle - see below
    

Q: is​ drinking water available?

A: Yes, while we don’t recommend drinking the tap water around the island, filtered drinking ​water is available on-tap throughout the resort. Help us to reduce plastic waste and bring​ a reusa​ble water bottle to refill.

Q: Do you have WiFi?

A: Yes, there is WiFi available at the lodge. For your phone, you may choose to use ​WhatsApp or another VOIP service to remain in touch (when WiFi is available). Local SIM ​cards can also be purchased on the island for short-term use.

Q: Do I need travel insurance?

A: As a small and highly curated retreat, we are unable to offer any refunds to payments​ made, including the $300 non-refundable deposit. Because of this, buying a plan is a smart mov​e if you are feeling cautious about the cost of your trip, possible illness or injury of you​ or a loved one, or potential weather-related ca​n​cellations or interruption.

A comprehensive travel insurance plan with CFAR (cancel f​or any reason) coverage could protect you if your trip should be canceled or interrupted. Whi​le we are not affiliated with any travel insurance company, we can personally recommend US​I Travel Insure as a reliable provider of travel policies, but there are lots of we​ll-rated providers out there.

Q: Do I need dive insuranc​e?

A: Short answer = Yes!!! Longer answer, if you are a certified diver we require you to have ​dive accident coverage from DAN (Divers Accident Network), and you will be asked for your ​DAN member number by the dive shop. If you are getting your certification during the ​retreat, you’re already covered! DAN has an amazing student member program that ​automatically provides accident insuance to students during their dive training. And DAN ​also provides affordable travel insurance too, as another option to protect your trip costs.
