Villa Laguna 

Come for the experience. Leave knowing you are part of something bigger.

 

Immerse yourself in a transformational yoga and wellness retreat on the shores of Laguna de Apoyo. Nicaragua's breathtaking volcanic crater lake, where nature, stillness, and intentional living come together. Nestled within the tropical forest at Villa Laguna, you'll wake to birdsongs, the sounds of howler monkeys; while practicing in a tranquil shala overlooking crystal-clear mineral waters, and fall asleep surrounded by the peaceful sounds of the jungle. Every moment invites you to slow down, reconnect, and remember what truly matters. This is not a typical retreat.

​

This is Nicaragua! Wild, Authentic, Deeply Healing. Spaces are intentionally limited to preserve the intimacy, connection, and personal experience that make this retreat so special.

​​

8 days at the edge of a volcano. In the heart of yourself.

 

Something in you already knows it's time.

​

Time to stop running. Time to stop shrinking yourself into the space everyone else leaves you. Time to do the thing you've been putting off, the retreat, the reset, the moment where you finally come back to yourself.

This is that moment.

​

8 days at Laguna de Apoyo, one of the most extraordinary places on earth. A volcanic crater laguna in Nicaragua where the water is warm, the forest is alive, and the world you left behind gets very, very quiet. You'll move your body. You'll still your mind. You'll dance under the stars. You'll stand at the rim of an active volcano at night. You'll find deep connection in a cacao ceremony with people you just met but somehow already know.

You'll go home differently. Lighter. More you than you've been in years.

What's waiting for you...

​

🌊  The laguna that holds you

Laguna de Apoyo is a volcanic crater, 23,000 years of warm, mineral-rich water filling an ancient caldera. You'll cold plunge at 6 AM while the mist lifts off the water,  SUP yoga at sunrise, go swimming.  It's not a pool, it's not a beach. It's something else entirely. The water does something to you. People come back every year just for this!

​

🧘🏻‍♀️  Movement that actually moves you

Every morning begins on the mat. Vinyasa to wake the body, Yin to soften what's been holding. But this isn't your usual yoga class. We go deeper: somatic walking meditation, breathwork, sound bath, Biodanza. These are practices designed to unlock the things you've been carrying in your body, not just your head. By day three, you'll feel it shifting. By day eight, you'll feel like yourself again, maybe for the first time in a long time. Yoga classes taught in English and Spanish. 

​

🌋  Volcanic adventures

We will zipline through the cloud forest canopy of Volcán Mombacho (trust us, your hands will shake and you'll immediately want to do it again). We drive to Masaya Volcano at night and stand at the edge of an active crater with lava glowing below. We wander the cobblestone streets and isletas of colonial Granada. Nicaragua has a way of waking you up. Expect that.

​

🎨  Space to create and reflect

Painting class with Jenny. A vision board circle where you get quiet and ask yourself what you actually want. Fire gazing meditation as the sun goes down. A Day of the Dead cultural honor that roots the whole week in something deeper. These aren't fillers between the yoga sessions. They're the whole point. When did you last sit still long enough to hear yourself think? This week gives you that back.

​

✨  The glow party (yes, really)

DJ Dori. Glow paint. Open air. Night sky. This is the night that becomes the story you tell for years. Pure joy, no agenda, no holding back. Because healing isn't always slow and quiet. Sometimes it's dancing until you're breathless and laughing so hard your stomach hurts. This is that night.

​

🍽️  Nicaragua, on a plate

Street food night in Catarina, vigorón, quesillo, Fritanga, and everything in between, eaten with people who already feel like family. This is the country showing up on your plate, not just around you.

​

🍃  The cacao ceremony that closes it all

On our last night, we dress up and gather in a circle. Sacred cacao, candlelight, the people who've become your people. You'll speak, you'll listen, you'll feel the full weight of the week in the best possible way. Then we dance. You'll get on the plane differently. We promise.

​

❤️ Your healing gives back 

A portion of every registration goes directly to local animal rescue and community charities in Nicaragua. You come here to fill yourself up, and in doing so, you pour into something larger than yourself. That's always been the Selva Soul way.
