About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

This all-inclusive luxury experience is designed for those seeking transformation, renewal, and authentic connection — with themselves, with others, and with nature — in one of Panama’s most extraordinary natural settings.

What makes this retreat unique is its commitment to true digital detox:
Upon arrival, all guests place their phones and digital devices into a secure safe, where they remain until the last day of the journey. Free from screens, notifications, and digital distractions, you’ll discover the profound clarity and peace that come with being fully present.

Your Journey

Your experience begins in Panama City’s historic Casco Viejo, with a night at a 5-star boutique hotel, a guided cultural tour, and a fine dining welcome dinner. From there, a scenic domestic flight takes you to Alaya Private Estate in Playa Venao, where you’ll spend 5 nights in exclusive single-occupancy king suites, surrounded by lush jungle and pristine ocean.

At Alaya, the focus is on wellness and reconnection:

Daily yoga and breathwork sessions led by our founders and guest teachers.

Transformational tools available on request: regression therapy, reiki, meditation, and psychoentropology.

Signature experiences: a guided jungle waterfall hike, a white sand beach picnic, and one 60-minute massage per guest.

All-inclusive farm-to-table dining, with house wines, cocktails, fresh juices, teas, and coffees.

With devices safely tucked away, every meal, every practice, and every shared moment becomes an opportunity for genuine connection.

Optional Adventures

For those who wish to add more movement and play, we offer surf lessons at Playa Venao (one of Central America’s premier surf breaks), scuba diving, and seasonal whale watching.

Capacity

Limited to 13 guests (single occupancy, king-size beds). Early bookings receive priority in room selection: Villa Mandala → Private Pool Suite → Jacuzzi Suites → Chakra Rooms.

Why Join

This retreat blends luxury, privacy, wellness, and adventure in a way few experiences can. With only 13 guests, it is intimate, highly curated, and deeply transformative. By unplugging from the digital world, you will reconnect more deeply with yourself, with the rhythms of nature, and with like-minded travelers on the same path of renewal.
