The retreat offered a variety of wellness activities that I found both beneficial and enjoyable. Yoga sessions overlooking the ocean at sunrise were particularly invigorating and allowed me to foster a deep connection with nature while promoting my mental and physical well-being. The guided meditation, breathwork and journal sessions helped me to clear my mind and focus on my inner self. The retreat offered various fitness activities such as hiking, snorkelling, and surfing lessons. Additionally, the holistic treatments such as massages and detoxifying rituals were incredibly rejuvenating.

The sense of community at the retreat was one of the most impactful aspects of my experience. Being surrounded by like-minded individuals who were also on a journey of self-discovery and wellness created a supportive and encouraging environment. The group activities and shared meals fostered a sense of camaraderie and allowed us to bond and share our experiences. This social interaction was not only enjoyable but also provided additional motivation and inspiration to continue my wellness journey.

Attending a wellness retreat like Vida Sana’s offers benefits that go beyond those of a traditional vacation. Unlike a typical holiday, which often involves indulgence and a lack of routine, a wellness retreat focuses on healthy living and personal growth. The structured program of activities, nutritious meals, and opportunities for self-reflection ensure that you return home feeling revitalised and with a clearer mindset. Additionally, the skills and knowledge gained during the retreat can have a lasting impact on your overall lifestyle.

The support and guidance provided by the retreat staff and wellness experts were exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and well taken care of. The staff were knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in our well-being. The wellness experts provided personalised advice and support, ensuring that each participant’s needs were met. Whether it was during yoga sessions, nutrition workshops, or one-on-one consultations, the level of expertise and care was evident and greatly appreciated.

For anyone considering attending a Vida Sana Retreat for the first time, I would advise coming with an open mind and a willingness to fully engage in the experience. Embrace the opportunity to disconnect from everyday stressors and focus on your personal well-being. Participate in as many activities as possible and take advantage of the knowledge and support offered by the staff. Additionally, be prepared to make new friends and build connections with fellow participants, as this can greatly enhance your experience.

One of the most transformative experiences I had during the retreat was the Temazcal, sweat lodge that brought a lasting impact in various aspects of my life. This sacred ritual not only cleansed and rejuvenated my body but also provides profound mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. Participating in the Temazcal, helped me to identify and release negative thought patterns and cultivate a more positive and present mindset and allowed me to gain invaluable insights into what I need to release and heal from to become the best version of my self. The Temazcal provided me with invaluable insights and personal growth that has has had lasting positive benefits on how I view myself that has extended far beyond my time at the retreat. Additionally, the nutritional food provided insights into how my diet affects my overall well-being, leading me to make lasting changes to my eating habits. The combination of these experiences has had a profound and lasting impact on my approach to wellness.

What I enjoyed most about the retreat was the perfect balance between structured activities and free time. The daily schedule allowed for a variety of wellness activities, while also providing ample time for personal reflection and relaxation. The beautiful surroundings and the opportunity to connect with nature were incredibly refreshing. Additionally, the sense of community and the friendships formed with fellow participants added a special dimension to the experience.
