8-Day Yoga & Wellness Escape on a Volcanic Crater Lake in Nicaragua

DesignYourBliss Yoga Retreats, hosted by Miriam at Villa Laguna, is built around the idea that a yoga retreat should fit your own pace and energy. The property sits right on the shore of the crater lake, with a waterfront deck used for yoga that offers uninterrupted views of the water. Mornings start with a practice as the sun rises, and afternoons bring a second session. Between classes, guests are free to shape their day. Options include hiking in the nature reserve, visiting Granada and Masaya, booking a massage or private wellness session, kayaking or paddleboarding on the lagoon, or simply reading in a hammock. The retreat is intentionally small — groups of 3 to 16 — so it feels personal, and Miriam and her team are known for warm hospitality. The food is fully plant-based, made from local ingredients, and guests frequently single out the meals as a highlight. The schedule is consistent throughout the stay: breakfast after morning yoga, free time during the day (with lunch available to purchase at the villa), a second yoga class in the late afternoon, and a three-course dinner in the evening. This listing is for the 8-day version, but the same retreat runs for 4 to 9 days depending on your availability.
