This detailed itinerary for a 7-day and 6-night retreat at Samana Ecolodge, designed for women that offers a transformative experience of connection, renewal, and well-being. From meditations, guided tours, to waterfall excursions and spa experiences, this retreat invites you to reconnect with yourself, with nature and with a group of inspiring women

In 2016, the owners Ben and Xio decided to follow their dreams and build an off grid sustainable eco lodge. Samana Ecolodge was built with love & in hope to inspire visitors to live a more conscious lifestyle when returning home. The lodge is completely independent with solar panels, water wells and fresh spring streams running through the land. There is a farm area with an abundance of fruits, vegetables and spices. Everyday fresh food is brought from the land to the kitchen and served in the Restaurant — you can’t get more organic than that!

Every stone, crop and flower has been laid by them and some enthusiastic volunteers. Every stick, palm roofing or wood has been bought locally putting money back into the community, creating jobs and opportunity in the town of El Limón. After two years of hard work they had finally created a peaceful and quiet place where customers can switch off and get closer to nature.

Relax from your trip and get situated in your room. Later in the day, you'll join a guided meditation and enjoy a healthy farm to table dinner. 

We will start the day off with a yoga class and healthy breakfast. We will head to El Limon Waterfall, an experience that will take you to the edge of a waterfall of 55 meters. Witness the fury of effervescent crystal-clear waters slipping through the lushness of its knoll, in an act which will set your senses free. You have the opportunity to walk to the waterfall or go on a horseback ride. 

We will start the morning with a guided respiration exercise to center ourselves, relax, and tune into our bodies followed by a delicious healthy breakfast. Later we will embark on a private tour to Los Haitises National Park and Bacardi Island aka Cayo Levantado. 

Los Haitises–which translates into “hilly land” in the Taino language–attracts numerous visitors who come here by boat to see its magnificent series of 30-meter (98-foot) high rock formations jutting out of the water. The park also boasts extensive mangroves along its bay, which is dotted with cays that are home to multiple bird colonies, as well as a series of caves known for having one of the highest numbers of Taino petroglyphs and pictographs in the country. 

We will start the day with guided meditation and light yoga and a healthy meal. The group will later go on a ziplining adventure through the jungle and followed by a farm to table lunch. This afternoon there will be a group coaching session and free time for personal reflection. In the evening, we will participate in a cooking class followed by a delicious farm to table dinner. We will close out the day with a gratitude ritual.

Get ready because today is a full spa and sound healing day. Start the day off with light yoga, followed by a healthy breakfast and full body massages. Enjoy a sound healing session, this is an ancient technique that uses tonal frequencies to bring the body into harmony, can help you relax, clear energetic blockages, boost your health, and support your well-being. 

We will reflect on our trip via a group coaching session. You will have free time to explore Samana at your own pace. We will conduct a closing circle and special dinner. 

Enjoy the morning with a healthy breakfast and beautiful views of the lodge. Transfers may be available to the Santo Domingo airport. Have a safe trip!
