Sol & Sea: Retreat to Nicaragua

An intimate journey into the raw beauty of the wild Nicaraguan coast.

Step off the beaten path and into the warm rhythm of Playa Tesoro — where the untamed spirit of Nicaragua meets deep restoration and soul-stirring adventure. 

Sol & Sea is more than a retreat; it’s an invitation to return to yourself. Nestled on a secluded stretch of the Pacific coast, this immersive experience blends movement, ocean, and vibrant, intentional living in one of Central America’s most breathtaking natural landscapes.

Each day begins with grounding yoga sessions under open skies, your breath syncing with the sound of the waves steps away. Led by our beloved instructors and your retreat leaders, Jonni-Lyn Friel, Charlie Gates, and Aubrey Bramwell, who will guide you through practices designed to help you reconnect—with your body, your spirit, and the land around you. Expect movement, meditation, and sound practices. Whether you’re new to yoga or deep in your journey, you’ll be supported every step of the way. 

In the afternoons, choose your adventure. Catch your first wave (or your best one yet!) on Playa Tesoro’s uncrowded beach break, with daily surf lessons tailored to your skill level. Craving a slower pace? Float in the pool, swim in the waves, nap in a hammock, or journal in the shade as the ocean breeze rolls in. We’ll take care of all adventure excursions throughout the week and even treat you to a beachfront massage!

Beyond the beach, the heart of Nicaragua awaits. Explore the nearby colonial city of León on a guided cultural tour, boat down the Tamarindo River to a hidden local restaurant, or discover wild corners of the region few travellers ever see. We partner with local guides and businesses to ensure your presence uplifts the community you’re visiting.

Meals are crafted with care and connection to the culture: fresh-caught fish, tropical fruits, and vibrant local dishes made with love. Every plate tells a story of Nicaragua — simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.

Whether you’re craving space to rest, clarity to reflect, or the freedom to play, Sol & Sea offers a rare chance to unplug and remember what it feels like to be truly alive.

Leave sun-kissed, well-fed, and whole.
