Whether you need a rest, or a re-set, or a kick start to your current fitness routine, this week is designed to do just that. Yes, you will get 7 days and 8 nights in one of the world’s most hidden gems. Surrounded by lush mountains, streaming waterfalls, and secluded beaches. Samana is a stunning treasure that sits on the northeast peninsula of the Dominican Republic, and it has the reputation of being “The fairest land on the face of the earth.”
But more than that, these retreats are focused on strength and movement: physical and mental. So, whatever it is you need, wherever you’re at in your fitness journey, let us take the stress out of planning workouts and preparing meals so you have time to daydream and focus on yourself for a whole week.
All you have to do is show up.
Kayak through the amazing Los Haitises mangrove national park, hike to the breath taking El Limon Waterfalls, share in an unforgettable chance to see migrating humpback whales or come for the serene spectacle of sun, sand and ocean, this retreat promises to be a memorable experience that will last a lifetime.

Villa Serena has twenty-one spacious deluxe rooms, all with a large private terrace, a hammock and rocking chairs, and a stunning ocean view. A small island floats just in front of you while the waves break around it on never-ending coral reefs.
Each room has a different theme, mood, and charm and is decorated with meticulous attention to detail, reminiscent of Victorian style. You are welcome to share with us your preference between a room with a king-size bed and the one with two full-size beds.
Our hotel atmosphere will inspire you to relax, read, honeymoon, meditate, write, paint, create, daydream…or just relish the sights, the sounds, and the smells.
You can also explore our beautiful surroundings and enjoy a hike, a bike ride, a boat trip, kayaking, snorkeling or scuba diving, a horseback ride, or a zip line adventure.
