I had a magical trip. We did yoga, surfed, participated in spiritual ceremonies, explored Antigua and ate the BEST food I’ve had on a trip - flavourful, lots of options, more than enough, interesting, fresh, local, delicious. The people on the trip were very cool, interesting, and inspiring. It was a small group so it was a good opportunity to get to know each other well. Hopefully we’ll keep in touch and connect with each other in person again soon! The chef, Tara, was fun and did an amazing job with the meals. They were incredibly delicious, nutritious and fresh. I was very well fed! The accommodations were beautiful - Luna Nueva Air BnB and the owner, Tiffany is great- she treats you like family and the bungalows and spaces are beautiful. Andy and Morgan are awesome. I was treated very well and felt safe and well looked after. Morgan is an amazing yoga teacher and Andy is a great surfing instructor- I got up quickly and frequently and had lots of fun. I would attend one of their retreats again. Andy lives in Guatemala and knew all the best places and people to see in Guatemala. Everyone else I met was also amazing and have encouraged me to see different perspectives on life and have inspired me to live my life differently. I am grateful for the experience I had and the people I met. No complaints. Thanks for a great trip!

This retreat was a pairing of rest + treats, and perfectly timed during the hectic end of year rush. Phil and Andy curated a thoughtful, smooth-paced, and very rich retreat -- totally authentic to who they are as humans. Everything was optional and there was no pressure to participate in every event (although everyone joined for each meditation and yoga practice). Mornings began with meditation, followed by breakfast, surf lessons, asana practice, lunch, down time (sometimes this was more surf lesson/massages/pool&beach time), evening yin and then dinner. Swell is a quiet & calm collection of bungalows, sweet staff, and a kitchen team who makes the most delicious food!! You will never feel hungry; the food is abundant and fresh. The people that are drawn to this type of reflective retreat are all beautiful souls, and everyone is full of good vibes and passionate energy to share. Yoga practices always feel interconnected even though most of us had just met for the first time. The ceremonies were sacred and special moments, I learned different ways to weave these moments into my daily life. I am so grateful to my new friends and this powerful time I will cherish forever. ~peace & light, pauline <3
