About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

Nestled between the jungle and ocean of Playa Venao, this all-inclusive women’s retreat is a sanctuary designed by women, for women. Led by experienced female facilitators, the program blends wellness, adventure, and sisterhood in an unforgettable 7-day journey.

Your experience begins with a night in Casco Viejo, Panama City, where you’ll stay in a 5-star boutique hotel, enjoy a curated dinner, and start connecting with your fellow retreat sisters. The next morning, a private flight will take you to Alaya, our exclusive hilltop sanctuary overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

At Alaya, each woman will have her own private luxury suite (king bed, ensuite, and private terrace), ensuring both privacy and comfort. Throughout the week, you’ll be guided through daily yoga and meditation, women’s circles, and transformational ceremonies that honor feminine wisdom and energy. You’ll also enjoy adventure experiences such as a waterfall hike and a beach picnic on pristine white sands, along with a therapeutic massage to restore balance and vitality.

Meals are freshly prepared with local, seasonal ingredients — à la carte breakfasts and lunches, followed by nourishing family-style dinners that bring everyone together around the table.

This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise of daily life, reconnect with yourself, share deeply with other women, and return home with renewed clarity, joy, and strength.

Limited to 13 women only to ensure intimacy and personal attention.
