Entre Olas y Raíces

Move, rest, and return renewed

Panama Lagartero paid

On Panama’s Pacific coast, Entre Olas y Raíces creates retreats for women who want to step out of routine without making rest feel like another task to accomplish. The experience brings together yoga and conscious movement, time in nature, creativity, and space to slow down and connect with others. It is hosted at Catalina’s Hideaway, with a pool, spa, yoga studio, café, and restaurant on site. Guides Daniella and Gabriella lead an experience conducted entirely in Spanish, so a comfortable grasp of the language will help you take part fully. The retreat’s approach feels warm and expansive, with an emphasis on returning home more present and replenished rather than following a rigid spiritual program. Guests are asked to arrive in Panama City, from where transportation to the venue is provided. Retreat pricing starts at USD 2,200; confirm dates and inclusions before booking.
