Join us November 18–22, 2026 for a women's Reading Retreat at Sea View Villas in Savaneta, Aruba, where turquoise water is just steps from the villa and life moves at an effortlessly slower pace. Over four nights, you'll settle into days filled with long reading sessions by the pool, quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the Caribbean Sea, refreshing swims, sunset dinners, and the kind of conversations that only happen when no one is in a rush.

Unlike Aruba's busier resort areas, Savaneta offers a quieter side of the island, where beachfront restaurants, calm waters, and peaceful neighborhoods create the perfect backdrop for slowing down. Your private oceanfront villa gives you space to spread out, read in the sun or shade, gather by the pool, and slip into the sea whenever you need a break from your books.

Our villa has 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. Packages will be available for either a solo room (one-person occupancy) or a double room (two-person occupancy).
