Panama·25 - 31 January 2026
A curated wellness, cultural + culinary experience on Panama's Pacific coast. Quiet, remote + authentic Panama!
SOLD OUTThis is a retreat to truly get away from it all. Panama is nestled between Costa Rica and Colombia and has many of the best elements of both. We'll spend our time in a private resort in a remote corner of the world in the western province of Chiriquí, Panama. Our home for the week is perched on the edge of a cliff with amazing vistas of lush jungle, the Pacific Ocean and rivers valleys. Together we'll get off the tourist path and hike remote waterfalls, have lunch on a deserted island, wake up to the sound of howler monkeys and practice yoga with 360 degree views of the breathtaking landscape. Get away your day-to-day and into a new rhythm of a tropical Panamanian life. - Price: $2820 per person for triple occupancy $3120 per person for double occupancy - Group Size: 12-15 Guests - Luxury Score: 3.5 (out of 5) - Activity Score: 2.5 (out of 5) - Some Active Tours - Adventure Score: 3 (out of 5) - Remote location, Off-the-beaten path tours - Cuisine: Omnivore (meat + fish offered), Vegetarian / GF avail upon request We are thrilled to partnering with Nicole LaFon and InBalance Yoga in Blacksburg, VA for this retreat.
In addition to our retreat leaders (who often also teaches yoga), every retreat will have an additional certified yoga teacher or fitness instructor on-site who will lead a portion of the classes and support students in their practice. We find that an opportunity to participate in a variety of classes with various teaching styles adds to our guests’ overall retreat experience.

For this retreat, you will need to fly into a small airport in David, Panama called the Enrique Malek International Airport (DAV). The easiest way to do this is from Panama City Tocumem Airport (PTY) on Copa Airlines. We HIGHLY recommend that you come into Panama City at least a day earlier than necessary to take in the city and not miss your intra-Panama flight. In order to use the retreat transfer service you should plan to take the 3:45 pm flight from PTY to DAV on the afternoon of the first day of the retreat and the 9:30 am flight from DAV to PTY on the morning of the final day. More information and recommendations on where to stay, eat and explore for optional add ons to your trip will be sent upon booking.
Our retreat villa is a remote area of Panama, so the roads to get there are at times bumpy and windy. Also the nearest towns, and small shops or restaurants are more than 30 min - 1 hour away. This is meant to be a mental detox, so if constant stimulation or shopping is your preferred vacation style, this is likely not a good retreat for you. Please also keep this in mind if you have pre-existing health concerns as the nearest hospitals and medical facilities are a great distance away. We highly recommend you take out travel health insurance.
This is a wonderfully, family owned boutique hotel that also operates as a retreat venue. Given the limited number of rooms and bed configurations, there is no option to have your own room on this retreat. The rooms themselves are extremely large, and there's an option to have your own bed in shared accommodations as desired. There is also plenty of space across the grounds to spread out during the day for alone time!
Average weather for Panama in January is: highs in the upper 80s and lows in the 70s. Expect ample sunshine (pack your sunscreen) and humidity. As with any tropical destination, there is a small chance or passing rainstorms and of course - bugs! While there are few mosquitos there are "no see ums," so make sure to bring your bug repellant!
While Panama has its own currency - the Balboa, it's tied directly to the US dollar. So US dollars are accepted everywhere within Panama - a great perk for easy travel! For small purchases at corner stores and tips for guides the USD is the best way to pay. Plan to take out money at your local bank before the trip. Major credit cards are also accepted at most establishments.
