COME AWAY WITH US, AND COME HOME TO YOURSELF
Join Jen Wendowski and Ali Hubsher for a restorative week along Colombia’s stunning Caribbean coast. Settle into a peaceful rhythm as we spend our days nestled in the jungle at the base of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, just steps from our own private beach. Throughout the week, we’ll immerse ourselves in the breathtaking natural beauty and vibrant culture of this coastal paradise.
Whether you’re traveling with a friend or flying solo, our adventure to Colombia will help you:
SLOW DOWN
In our fast-paced modern lives, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and stretched thin. This retreat offers a rare opportunity to slow down, reconnect, and truly nourish yourself. Deciding whether to explore jungle trails, unwind with a good book by the pool, or sip a smoothie with a friend will be your toughest decisions of the week.
RECONNECT WITH YOURSELF
It’s easier than ever to get lost in our work, relationships and errands. Throughout our week together you will tune in physically, emotionally and spiritually to what matters to you most. You will leave feeling incredibly lit up and fully engaged with your sense of self which will positively impact both big and small decisions that you make in your daily life moving forward.
BE IN COMMUNITY + HAVE A BLAST!
As connected as we are these days, most of our interactions are digital. Throughout our trip, you’ll be surrounded by a supportive, fun community of like-minded individuals. You’ll have the opportunity to foster new friendships and connections where you can be yourself.
Whether you're seeking a break from the everyday, or a chance to connect with new friends, this adventure promises to deliver an unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling invigorated and inspired.
Pack your bags and get ready to have some fun - adventure awaits!
GITANA DEL MAR
We are so excited to partner with Gitana Del Mar, a stunning private resort nestled where the Caribbean Sea meets the jungle and snow capped mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. We will be fully immersed in this jewel of Colombia and understand why the ancient indigenous cultures recognize this region as the “Heart of the World”. We will practice yoga in the beachfront yoga shala, fall asleep to the sound of the ocean in stunning jungle bungalows, and dine on delicious locally sourced food in the beautiful poolside restaurant. We have the luxury of enjoying the entire resort to ourselves for complete relaxation and connection amongst our group.
-
Gitana del Mar Beach Retreat is located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea.
Gitana is the perfect place to disconnect from the hectic world and appreciate the simpler things in life. Immerse yourself in nature and take in the fresh salt air and unforgettable panoramic ocean views.
-
Gitana del Mar is home to 11 stunning bungalows, each offering a tranquil sanctuary with a private ensuite bathroom. The bungalows are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The result is a beautiful space that invites deep rest and connection with nature.
-
Gitana del Mar’s kitchen works with the local fishermen and farmers of the area to bring the freshest ingredients straight to your plate. This sea/farm to table approach combines healthy ingredients together in a coastal themed, fusion-style menu with Colombian, Latin and Asian flavors. The ever-evolving selection is a unique combination of the traditional dishes and flavors from Colombia along with other recipes from around the world.
At the Gitana Bar, you can order cocktails, beer, wine, liquor, sodas, smoothies and additional fruit juices.
-
Each morning we'll start with a Yoga Habit style Power Flow taught by Jen or Ali in the yoga shala which overlooks the ocean! We will have two guided group meditations throughout the week. One evening is reserved for restoration as a local teacher will be leading our group in a sound bath experience.
No need to bring your own mat unless you prefer to! Gitana del Mar comes stocked with mats, straps, bolsters, blankets and blocks.
-
While our week together offers plenty of time to rest and recharge, it’s also filled with fun, invigorating experiences that will tap into your sense of adventure!
We’ll explore Colombia’s stunning coast by boat, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and unwind on a secluded beach.
No visit to Colombia is complete without salsa dancing. Enjoy a fun, lighthearted lesson with a local instructor!
Drift down the river on a tubing adventure, keep an eye out for howler monkeys overhead!
We will close out the week with a celebratory beachside dinner and live folkloric music, an unforgettable tribute to Colombian culture.
All activities are included, with optional add-ons like jungle hikes, horseback riding, and visits to nearby Indigenous communities for those craving more adventure.

Gitana del Mar’s on-site spa boasts a full menu of spa treatments including deep tissue massage, lymphatic drainage massage, Thai massage, reflexology and more!

ACCOMODATIONS + Pricing
Gitana’s luxurious bungalows are the ideal place to relax. Let the soothing sounds of the ocean lull you to sleep after a full day of adventure. All of the stunning bungalows are equipped with full private bathrooms, outdoor showers, fans, down pillows and plush sheets and towels. Each bungalow is designed with a very distinct architectural feature that the indigenous from the area have been utilizing for hundreds of years…. the palm roof. Not only are these structures made from sustainably and locally harvested palm fronds, the vaulted ceiling design keeps the rooms cooler and more fresh than any other available, man-made material. You’ll be staying steps away from the ocean.
