The Classic Family Retreat is the flagship and runs most weeks of the year. It is designed for solo-parent families but open to all, and the point of it is balance: some activities are for the whole family, some are for adults only, and some are for the children while the parents do nothing at all. Nanny care and chefs are part of the package, so meals and childcare are handled rather than negotiated each morning.

A typical week includes a street food tour for adults while the children make chocolate at the CaSa, and a family excursion to Hierve el Agua, the petrified waterfall pools outside the city. Beyond that, the schedule leaves room for the city itself: the Zocalo, the markets, the calendas that seem to happen most days, and the parks that fill with children's activities in the evening.

For 2027 there are two special family weeks alongside the standard Classic Retreats: SuMMer CaMp from 26 June to 3 July, and Guelaguetza weeks from 16 to 23 July and 23 to 31 July, timed around Oaxaca's biggest folk festival. A separate Mexico City trip runs 27 March to 3 April 2027, based near Parque España in La Condesa, covering the Zocalo, Xochimilco, and the city's food, art and culture, with walking and Metro rides to get around the traffic.

The Soul Reset, the first women-only retreat, soft launches in February 2027. Guests get a massage every day of the stay and meals from a seasonal menu. The week includes a cacao ceremony, a temazcal, a session with a curandera, and a day in the mountains learning about foraged medicinal plants. There is no schedule to manage and no children present.

SoMos was founded in 2020 by a solo mother who had spent years travelling alone before having children, and who has run family retreats for five years, hosting groups with children from six months old upwards. The women's programme grew out of that experience and out of a wish to offer something for women of all ages without children in the room.
