Retreats
A true partnership with retreat hosts
We collaborate with retreat leaders as partners, offering local knowledge, logistical expertise, and hands-on support to bring your vision to life.
Events We Work With
We work with a diverse range of retreats, supporting facilitators and hosts across wellness, movement, creativity, and personal growth. Each retreat is thoughtfully curated, combining intentional programming with locations that allow guests to disconnect and immerse themselves in the experience fully.
The Bachata Retreat
A 7-day immersive experience in El Valle, deeply rooted in Dominican culture, music, and nature. More than a retreat, it is a transformational journey that brings together up to 100 participants to form a unique, temporary community. Through workshops led by local and international bachata artists, top-tier excursions, daily wellness practices, and unforgettable social events, participants experience a powerful blend of movement, connection, and celebration. Set against the backdrop of jungle, beaches, and waterfalls, the Bachata Retreat creates a space where culture, nature, and human connection merge — finished with vibrant parties that celebrate joy, expression, and life.
The Pilates Retreat
An invitation to move, strengthen, and heal in nature. While Pilates is the foundation, this experience goes far beyond physical training. Participants flow with the rhythms of El Valle through mindful movement sessions, jungle hikes to waterfalls, sound healing, cacao ceremonies, and moments of deep inner reflection. This retreat is designed for those seeking both physical strength and emotional balance — a space to disconnect from noise, reconnect with the body, and explore deeper layers of the self, all supported by nature.
The Zumba Retreat
A high-energy, joy-filled experience designed to reconnect participants with movement, music, and community — all set within the natural beauty of El Valle. This retreat blends daily Zumba sessions with nature immersion, cultural exploration, and moments of rest, creating a perfect balance between celebration and restoration.
Love Fest:
A tantric-inspired experience focused on presence, connection, and conscious relating. It brings together people from all around the world to explore love in all its forms — self-love, romantic love, platonic love, and collective connection. Through guided practices, shared rituals, movement, and immersive experiences in nature, Love Fest creates a safe and intentional space for vulnerability, expansion, and celebration. It is a journey into deeper awareness, intimacy, and embodied connection — grounded in respect, consent, and authenticity.

What Our Participants Are Saying
These could be your clients
It’s not just about dancing (though the bachata is amaaaazing here) – it’s about disconnecting from the noise of everyday life and reconnecting with yourself, with nature, and with people who share the same passion. Imagine dancing barefoot in the sand, falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle, and waking up to sunshine and laughter.
This place has a unique energy – raw, real, and unforgettable. If you’re looking for more than just a retreat – if you’re looking for a reset, a reconnection, or a spark – this is it.
Classes are really balanced, so you have a little bit of spirituality, you have a little bit of dance, and a lot of bit of sweating… The ecstatic dance, you definitely have never done ecstatic dance until you’ve done this ecstatic dance, and the cacao brought everything together. It’s beautiful. The sound healing, I’ve done sound baths, but this is definitely a different environment to do a sound bath in, so definitely have to come.
It was definitely a very memorable experience. –
Host Spotlight
Nam Nidhan
I have hosted retreats in many places, but El Valle is truly one of the most beautiful locations I have ever worked in. The balance between nature and accommodations is exceptional, you feel immersed in the jungle while still being fully supported and comfortable. I was deeply impressed by the LaMaca team’s organization, diligence, and care. They listened closely to my vision and made it effortless to bring it to life. When I requested a dedicated meditation platform, they built it in record time, honoring every detail of my wishes. Hosting my retreat here felt seamless, grounded, and deeply alignen

I am the creator and founder of the Silhouette Method, and I have worked with LaMaca Travel on multiple retreats now, and this jungle is nurturing from the inside out. It is the perfect space to host any retreat, as my practice is Pilates-based. LaMaca’s team are the best to work with, as they are always organized, on time, and really give over-the-top effort in making sure that every client on your retreat has the best experience. Also, the villas are the most beautiful accommodations in the heart of the jungle, and it is very easy for your clients to move around as well as get there. And the chef is amazing, as she makes the most fresh, farm-to-table meals, and you are in the middle of the ocean and the jungle all at once.
