Oceanfront Yoga & Adventure Retreat in Ayampe, Ecuador

Mornings start with yoga, usually before breakfast, and the rest of the day is a mix of organised activities and free time. On the activity days you might be horseback riding along the beach, out on a boat to snorkel, walking through the jungle to a nature reserve, or up in a national park on a hike. There's a clay bath session, an Ecuadorian cooking class, a salsa class, and an ice bath for anyone who wants to try it. Sound bowls and a non-violent communication workshop are on the schedule too, and everyone gets a 90-minute massage with access to the jacuzzi and steam room. One afternoon you choose between a surf lesson and a chocolate tour. Evenings are open-ish: dinner is at the guest house most nights, with a few meals left free so you can explore Ayampe's small restaurant strip. The whole week is planned so you're not rushing between things — there's time to read in a hammock or walk into town.
