About the Retreat
Paradise Found II is SALTY in perfect balance. We're booking into Orquidea del Sur — a 5-star villa property in the hills above San Juan del Sur, with three buildings, three infinity pools overlooking the Pacific and the surf breaks below, two on-site bars, pool tables, and enough lounge and social space that a group of this size can celebrate and find relaxation in equal parts. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
The sweat is the upgrade. We're able to dial up the sweat — daily Morning Crew or yoga at sunrise on the unbeatable yoga deck, SALTY Sweats before lunch, a SALTY Olympics day, and a Finale workout on Friday that closes the week. It'll be the hardest and loudest one yet. Access to the world-class shala, poolside pilates, fitness room with weights and squat racks, and of course a sprawling sandy beach means we can workout in fun new ways every session.
The party is there for those who want it. Sunday Funday lands on Day 2 — San Juan del Sur's legendary day-to-night circuit, with shuttles between stops so you can hop in or hop out as you wish! Through the week there will be the chance to surf, to read by any of the pools, to book massages, bedtime yin yoga, relax into paradise. Friday is all on the catamaran: full afternoon on the Pacific, swim stops, cold drinks, sunset over the water, then The Last Splash pool party back at ours.
25–30 guests. Enough to share in each other's energy when it's time to turn up the fun, small enough that by Day 3 everyone knows everyone's story. Come for the sunsets, leave with a buzzing group chat and memories to spare.

Day by Day
01
Hola, San Juan
Airport transfers out to Orquidea del Sur, then settle into the villas. Meet the crew at the welcome dinner on the deck with games to break the ice — the crew turning into a group chat in real time. Pacific does its thing as the sun drops.

Sunday Funday
Morning Crew at 6:30 and Flow at 7:30 before breakfast. A SALTY Sweat before lunch sets up the afternoon. Then we roll into Sunday Funday — San Juan del Sur's legendary pool-party circuit that put this town on the map. Optional, highly attended. Hydrate, somewhere.

Breathe Easy
Morning Crew, Flow. Breath Workshop mid-morning — one of those sessions that sneaks up on you. Afternoon splits between beach time and Soul Work, the class that turns into a dance floor without warning. Dinner, Bedtime Yin. Softer day, on purpose.

SALTY Olympics
Morning Crew and Pilates before breakfast. Pool Hang at noon — yes, it's on the schedule, yes, it's sacred. Afternoon is SALTY Olympics: team relays, pool games, loud trash talk, actual trophies. A Flow after to bring the heart rate down. Dinner, Bedtime Yin.

Choose Your Own Adventure
Morning Crew, Flow. SALTY Sweat before lunch. Afternoon is yours — pick your move: mountain hike, horseback ride, tour of Granada, surf, spa, or a pool-and-hammock day if that's the truth. Dinner, Bedtime Yin.

Finale to Last Splash
The Finale at 7am — one last big workout, loudest of the week. After breakfast and a slow morning, the afternoon is ours on the catamaran: Pacific swells, swim stops, cold drinks, sunset over the water. Back to ours for the Last Splash — a proper closing pool party for anyone with one more night in them.
