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.

What Our Participants Are Saying

Coming to The Bachata Retreat in El Valle feels like entering a magical world where time slows down, and real connection takes over. I’ve now been three times – and each time, I leave feeling more grounded, more inspired, and more alive.
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.

Love Fest was such a profound and heart-opening experience. It took me out of my comfort zone, but I’m so glad I had the courage to show up. I discovered a lot about myself—especially around being present, expressing my desires and setting boundaries—while also moving through so many emotions. It was exactly what I needed for my personal growth journey, and at the same time, just so much fun. I’m so excited to be joining the next one!
ZAURA (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC)
It’s amazing, there’s no retreat like it, so if you haven’t been to El Valle, you’d better get here. It’s really like a secret that everyone should discover soon, because it’s a hidden treasure in the Dominican Republic. It’s my first time here. I’m so glad it’s my first destination on the island.
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. –

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.
