A Wellness Retreat in Paradise
El Salvador | November 18–22, 2026

Escape to the golden shores of El Salvador for four unforgettable nights of movement, mindfulness, and connection. Nestled where lush jungle meets the Pacific Ocean, Mizata Retreat Center offers the perfect sanctuary to unwind and realign before the holiday season begins.

Each day begins and ends with inspiring classes led by two seasoned instructors, Marni and Asia Gorman. Experience their signature barre and Pilates sessions to awaken your body and grounding yoga practices to bring you back to balance. Between classes, soak up the rhythm of tropical life: sip fresh coconut water by the infinity pool, stroll along the black sand beach or sway in a hammock as ocean waves roll in.

For those craving adventure, optional excursions await—surfing lessons on world-class waves, a breathtaking waterfall hike through the jungle, horseback rides along the beach and rejuvenating spa treatments that melt away tension.

Evenings at Mizata are pure magic. Savor farm-to-table meals under the stars, connect with like-minded travelers, and fall asleep to the soothing sound of the sea.

This retreat is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and return home refreshed—ready to embrace the season ahead with clarity and joy.
