6-Day Yoga and Wellness Escape on Laguna de Apoyo, Nicaragua

This retreat is built around flexibility. Every day includes a morning and an afternoon yoga session, plus homemade plant-based meals, and the time in between is completely yours. You can explore the colonial city of Granada, visit Masaya Volcano, hike in the nature reserve, or kayak on the lagoon. The retreat center, Villa Laguna, sits right on the water's edge within a protected forest, offering a peaceful, authentic escape.

Yoga classes are taught by Miriam, a certified hatha yoga teacher who trained in India. Her approach weaves together asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy in a way that's welcoming and accessible, whether you're new to yoga or have been practicing for years. The setting amplifies the experience—practicing on the open-air deck as the sun rises over the lagoon is a highlight.

The food is entirely plant-based, prepared fresh with local ingredients. Meals are more than just fuel; they're a communal experience that brings guests together. Breakfast is different every day, and dinner is a three-course affair. If you'd rather not leave the property at lunchtime, you can purchase a meal from the kitchen, which gives you even more time to relax.

The retreat keeps group sizes small, usually between 6 and 8 guests, which fosters a friendly, intimate atmosphere. It's common for solo travelers to arrive and make friends quickly. The location, while secluded, is just 30 minutes from both Granada and Masaya, so you're never far from culture and amenities.
