About your trip
Embrace the transformative power of Salt & Stillness on a 5-day retreat in the idyllic Islas del Rosario, Colombia, designed to help you disconnect from the everyday and reconnect with the natural world. Begin each day with yoga as the Caribbean sun rises. Dive into the crystal-clear waters for a unique scuba experience, where all experience levels are welcome to discover the wonders of the coral reef. We'll guide you through a 'discover scuba diving' experience with a yoga-mindful approach, fostering a deeper connection with the ocean's tranquility.
Our home is called Isla Bonita, a lovely private home on the island of Isla Grande. It offers comfortable accommodations and delicious island cuisine, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the serene environment. Spend your free time exploring the natural beauty of the Coral National Natural Park, kayaking through mangroves, or simply relaxing by the sea. This retreat provides a space to slow down, breathe, and experience the profound peace that comes from embracing the elements of salt and stillness, leaving the distractions of daily life behind.
The Islas de Rosario, a short 1-hour scenic boat ride from Cartagena, offers the perfect backdrop for this journey of rejuvenation. Pack your essentials and prepare to rediscover yourself amidst the beauty of nature.

About the Island
Escape to the enchanting Islas del Rosario, an archipelago of 27 idyllic islands fringing the coast of Cartagena, Colombia. Designated as a national natural park, these islands boast pristine coral reefs, creating an unparalleled environment for learning to scuba dive amidst vibrant marine life. Our destination is Isla Grande, the main island and a tranquil haven dotted with charming hotels, private residences, and small local eateries. Here, the absence of cars and limited overnight tourism promise a genuine escape – a chance to disconnect from the everyday and deeply reconnect with the serenity of nature. These islands are approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes away from the mainland by boat.
