From Skyline to Shoreline

SALTY hits Panama with some coastal focus and a city spark

Panama is a rare retreat that gives you two wildly different experiences in one unforgettable week. We start in Panama City, where old-world charm meets tropical cosmopolitan. You’ll explore Casco Viejo’s historic streets, sip cocktails on rooftops, and get your first taste of SALTY movement before we escape the buzz and head west.

Our second home base is the quiet surf town of Santa Catalina. It’s remote, peaceful, and filled with hidden gems (waves, and food). Think early morning workouts with ocean views, surf sessions on uncrowded beaches, and boat rides to stunning island chains like Coiba, one of the most biodiverse marine parks in the world (we can pretty much guarantee an up close and personal sea turtle sighting).

This trip is about contrast and flow. From sleek city nights to sandy coastal mornings, you’ll get a retreat that’s equal parts culture, sweat, ocean, and connection. Black sand beach and incredible architecture all wrapped into one phenomenal week… Let’s do it!

Daily Itinerary

day one

  • For those looking to start their week early, join us in Panama City on Friday! Optional dinner (+$) with the crew followed by an optional night out in the historic Casco Viejo district.

day two

  • For those already here, explore Casco in the morning, grab a smoothie, then we shuttle to Santa Catalina. For those arriving, make sure you land by 1pm local time! We’ll all unwind with a welcome dinner and restorative yoga under the stars.

day three

  • A classic SALTY day. Workout, community, ocean time, and incredible food.

day four

  • Morning surf lessons, followed by a boat trip to Santa Catalina Island. Expect snorkeling, beach picnics, and maybe a sea turtle or two.

day five

  • SALTY Beach Combine in the AM, chill in the PM. Team dinner out at a local gem in the village.

day six

  • Another classic SALTY day of movement, flow, and fun. We’ll end the night with a local dinner and dance party on the beach.

day seven

  • Visit UNESCO World Heritage Site, Coiba National Park (+$), or maybe just head into town for some light shopping and relaxation, today’s all about choice.

day eight

  • Morning movement + optional surf, then we hit the road back to Panama City. Final dinner and optional night out with the crew.

day nine

  • Say goodbye, pack up, and head to the airport with that signature post-SALTY glow. SALTY tip: Later flights out will give you the day to explore Panama City a bit more!

panama faqs

  • Book flights into Tocumen International Airport (PTY) in Panama City. We’ll coordinate transfers from there.

  • Yes! We start and end in Panama City, but the majority of the retreat happens in Santa Catalina on the Pacific Coast.

  • 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.

  • A total gem. White sand, turquoise water, snorkeling, and wildlife. It’s one of Panama’s most celebrated natural areas—and still under the radar.

  • In Santa Catalina, yes. In Panama City, we’ve got you for breakfast! With all the world-famous cuisine in the city, we wanted to give you the chance to choose from the magnificent local restaurants.

  • 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.
