7 Day New Year's Wellness & Slow Living Retreat in Nicaragua

This retreat is designed for those who crave a meaningful escape rather than a packed itinerary. There are no rigid schedules or back-to-back workshops. Instead, you'll find a perfect balance of curated experiences and complete freedom. Mornings begin naturally with the sounds of tropical birds, followed by breakfast overlooking the Caribbean Sea. Days are yours to spend as you wish: lounging on the beach, reading in a hammock, exploring hidden coves, or wandering sandy paths lined with palm trees.

The retreat includes several authentic cultural experiences, such as a traditional beach fire cookout where you'll learn to prepare Caribbean Rondón, fresh coconut preparation, and a New Year's Eve celebration with the local community featuring live drumming, dancing, and Caribbean music under the stars. You'll also enjoy a guided snorkeling tour with local captains and a signature chocolate massage, as featured in National Geographic.

The Lighthouse Retreat is a family-run sanctuary created by two sisters from Toronto, Raneem and Naseem. They left corporate careers to build a place where guests can truly slow down and reconnect. With only seven private cabañas, the retreat offers an intimate, personal experience. Raneem is a certified Vinyasa yoga teacher and can guide you in self-practice on the rooftop deck, while Naseem is known for her magical massage treatments. Their attention to detail and warm hospitality ensure every guest feels safe, supported, and pampered.
