El tunco turns up
Where yoga, surf, and El Salvador’s culture collide.
Nestled in the lush hills above El Tunco, this SALTY trip blends strength, stillness, and vibrant local culture. You’ll move every day — with Pilates, yoga, and functional fitness to keep your body guessing, then let the afternoons unfold with good conversation, local flavour, and time to just be.
With just a small group, it’s the kind of week where connections run deep and downtime actually means something. You’ll surf (all levels welcome), chase waterfalls, explore the colourful streets and buzzing nightlife of El Tunco, and settle into a retreat space built for both rest and recharge.
Expect a perfectly balanced week of energy, flow, and play — from garden yoga and SALTY sweats to market strolls, mezcal nights, and spontaneous dance floors under the stars.

Our regular morning moves into something pretty unique… an optional cooking class (+$) to learn how to make pupusas and all sorts of delicacies, the Salvadorian way.

We’re up early to head to the magnificent Tamanique Waterfalls. A fantastic adventure into one of El Salvador’s natural master pieces.

Our last full day together… We’re crying already. Workout, move, maybe hit some shops, and then let’s eat some food together and laugh about our amazing week. You’re only ever a 3-minute walk from the nearest dancing if you’d like that sort of send off!

Fly into San Salvador International Airport (SAL). Roundtrip transfers are included on arrival and departure days.

Absolutely. Whether you’ve never touched a board or want to level up your pop-up, our surf coaches tailor each session to your experience and comfort level.
-
That’s totally fine! Surfing is optional, and there’s still plenty of movement, recovery, and adventure for non-surfers.
-
Yes! We’re happy to provide recommendations for surrounding areas, and our travel agent can assist with logistics if you’d like a seamless extension to your adventure.
-
100%. Many of our guests come solo—and leave with new close friends. We offer roommate matching for doubles and quads, and the energy of the group is always welcoming and inclusive.
-
Incredible. Think tropical fruits, local fish, grilled veggies, and fresh smoothies every day. Our chefs can accommodate most dietary needs—just let us know ahead of time if you have allergies or restrictions.
-
Absolutely. If you want to extend your trip on either end, we’re happy to recommend places to stay in San Juan del Sur or help you coordinate travel from the airport.
-
Yes! While the retreat is built around movement, connection, and rest, there’s always room to roam. You’ll have free time to wander hidden beaches, hike jungle trails, or just post up in a hammock with a smoothie and a book. Want to explore more? We can help set you up with local adventures like waterfall hikes, boat tours, or surf sessions. At the end of the day, this is your trip—we’re just here to make it incredible.
-
Everything is designed to be accessible and fun! Whether you’re new to fitness or a total sweat junkie, you’ll be challenged in the best way. Same with surf—we welcome total beginners and those looking to level up their ride.

SALTY retreats are for anyone who’s ready to unplug, move their body, try something new, and have an unforgettable time doing it. Our community is made up of people from all walks of life—some come solo, others bring a friend or partner—but everyone shows up with a shared love for adventure, connection, and a good time. It’s not about your age, fitness level, or background—it’s about your vibe. If you’re open-hearted, up for a little challenge, and ready to laugh, sweat, and reset, you’re in the right place.
