This was my first ever wellness retreat and in Sicily, so I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect, and WOW, did Salty Retreats blow my expectations out of the water!

It was the perfect balance of workouts, wellness, incredible experiences, delish food and SOOO much fun. The entire experience was so thoughtfully curated, and the Salty Retreats team was so lovely, and went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and that we had the most amazing time. Which we really did, I miss it so much!

I even had my luggage lost on the way to Sicily, so I had no clothes for the entire week, and Nate drove me into town to make sure I could buy clothes and Erin lent me a bunch of her own clothing so I had something to wear. Talk about incredible humans!

This was genuinely one of the best trips I’ve ever been on. I met the most amazing people, experienced things I never would have planned for myself, and came home feeling so grateful that I said yes.

Thank you, Salty Retreats, for the most incredible experience. I can’t wait for the next one! 🤍 I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to go on a solo adventure trip with the most incredible people.

The most magical retreat in Sicily. If you’re looking for an unforgettable week of movement, mindfulness, and amazing company, then you should book a Salty Retreat. The perfect blend of strengthening Pilates and grounding yoga with stunning Sicillian views, great food and amazing new friends. The hosts were also truly wonderful! They created such a warm and welcoming environment for everyone. It was such a special experience that I’ll never forget ☀️

Bianca H. · Google review · August 2026

Exceptional week.

I’ve travelled a lot and usually in smaller groups or solo. Doing a big group trip can always have mixed outcomes. Salty Sicily was nothing short of amazing through and through. Perfect balance of wellness and fun and optional activities for everyone!! We were so lucky to have a huge group of like-minded individuals that make the trip truly unforgettable. Friendships that will last a lifetime and memories I’ll never fully remember lol but also never forget. Thank you salty, thank you Erin, Nate, and Floripa House, until the next one!! 🙏🏽

Coulter M. · Google review · August 2026

The Salty Retreat in Sicily was truly an experience I’ll never forget.

It was the perfect balance of wellness, self-discovery, adventure, and fun! From beautiful beach days and exciting adventures to the deeper moments of grounding and reflection, every part of the retreat brought something special.

The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating, and every coach brought their own unique energy, knowledge, and perspective. Each one was exceptional in their own way, and I walked away having learned so much—not only from them, but about myself.

And perhaps the most unexpected and beautiful part was the people I met along the way. I came for the retreat, but I’m leaving with friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

Sicily will hold a very special place in my heart. Thank you to everyone who made this experience so unforgettable.

10/10 would do it all over again

Victoria T. · Google review · August 2026

I have been on many trips in my life and I can confidently say this one will always hold a special place in my heart. Traveling to another country with a group of strangers can seem scary at first, but the memories and friends that were made through a perfectly balanced week are priceless. Thank you Salty for the perfectly curated week and attracting the coolest people 🇮🇹

If you’re looking for the perfect reset, this is your sign to book with Salty Retreats.

I chose Sicily because it had been on my vision board for a long time, and the idea of swimming, sweating, and socializing sounded like the perfect recipe for recovering from burnout. What I loved most about Salty Retreats was that there was truly no pressure to do it all. Erin always reminded us that the only rule was to have fun — whether that meant going to every workout, sleeping in, exploring, or staying out for a party. You could completely cater the retreat to what you needed, which was exactly what I was looking for.

My days were filled with morning workouts, swims in the most beautiful sea, incredible home-cooked meals (there was genuinely never a bad option), and cocktails at sunset. It felt like the perfect combination of movement, rest, connection, and a little bit of indulgence, all in one of the most beautiful places.

Everyone who attended was so warm and welcoming, our accommodation was within walking distance of the beach, and the coaches were some of the most energizing, thoughtful, and encouraging people I’ve met.

I left feeling rested, inspired, and recharged — and already thinking about where I’ll go with Salty next. Sicily was a dream, but the people and the experience are what made it unforgettable.

Magdalena T. · Google review · August 2026

Salty Retreats Sicily 2026 — 10/10, would do it all over again! 🇮🇹☀️

I came for the yoga, movement and wellness… but stayed for the laughing, adventures, food, friendships and general Sicilian magic. 😂

Sicily was absolutely heart-stoppingly beautiful — the kind of beautiful that makes you stop, stare and wonder how this is even a real place. But honestly, the people made the experience.

I met the kindest, most generous and genuinely fun people, and somehow a group of strangers became a little retreat family in just one week.

And the coaches — Nate, Erin, Niccolina, Kennedy and George — were outstanding. They brought the perfect mix of knowledge, encouragement, energy and humour. They challenged us, looked after us, made us laugh and somehow made everything look effortless.

There was yoga. There was sweating. There was a lot of laughing. There were beautiful places, amazing people and probably a few moments where we forgot we were supposed to be “wellness-ing.” 😂

I left feeling stronger, happier, a little more flexible (physically AND mentally!) and already wondering when I can do it again.

Salty Retreats, you’ve officially set the bar very high. Sicily, I’ll be back. ❤️🇮🇹

Vicky · Google review · August 2026

I can’t say enough good things about my experience going on the Salty Sicily retreat. From start to finish, it was such an incredible experience. The coaches were all amazing, not only incredibly knowledgeable and motivating, but genuinely kind and lovely people as well.

The people this retreat attracted were also such a highlight. I met so many fun, down to earth people and made friendships that have already carried on beyond the trip. The programming was curated perfectly, with the right balance of challenging workouts, fun, connection, and recovery.

I’m genuinely so glad I decided to go. It was one of those experiences where you leave feeling energized, inspired, and grateful that you said yes. I can’t wait for the next Salty Retreat!

Zoe M. · Google review · August 2026

One of the most fun and life changing weeks of my life! Sicily is truly a dream destination and the perfect Euro summer trip. The retreat had such an amazing vibe: great workouts, a beautiful setting, incredible coaches, and an unforgettable group of people. I made lasting friendships and already have plans to see people again!

Nate and Erin put everything together so thoughtfully and went above and beyond to accommodate me when I booked just a week before the retreat. They also found a truly special place to stay in Sicily, surrounded by wonderful people who made us feel at home. Such a special experience from start to finish. Absolutely book it, you won’t regret it!

Ali D. · Google review · August 2026

If you’re considering booking the solo trip - do it with Salty! I went to Sicily with Salty in 2026, which was my first time traveling alone. This made the experience what it was for me - when you are out of your comfort zone it gives you the chance to be vulnerable and fully embrace all of the amazing connections and experiences. I felt safe, had so much genuine fun and made friends for life. The team Erin put together is truly special - I felt seen, loved and grateful to be there with them. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Brooklynne E. · Google review · August 2026

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! I went to Sicily and it was easily one of the most fun retreats I’ve done. Nate, Erin + coaches plan everything so intentionally and it was the perfect mix of health, wellness, workouts, fun, and adventures. Everyone on this trip was amazing and so friendly and welcoming and I truly believe that’s a reflection of the hosts. They also do so much to make everything seamless (logistics, changes in plans etc) so you truly don’t have to worry about anything and they’re always there to help if you need anything. Would definitely do another !! ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🩷

Danielle G. · Google review · August 2026

Went on the Sicily trip with salty retreats. It was an amazing experience. The hosts really make you feel welcome and there is a very good balance between activities and relaxing. You get to do workout classes, go on excursions and do activities alongside just resting and enjoying each others company. Would recommend salty retreats to anyone who wants to do a fun and adventurous solo trip (or with a group of friends)

Antor U. · Google review · August 2026

Salty Sicily Italy Retreat was the best experience of my entire life. Erin, Nate & all the Salty staff and crew were incredibly kind and the whole trip was an absolute blast! The team creates an experience where you get a good hybrid of work out *options* scheduled and party fun with meals included. The girls I roomed with, were my age and a couple years younger. The demographic for this trip targeted people travelling alone and wanting an eat, pray, love, party vibe!! The schedule was kept to a great pace and you were able to make it your own. New Friends i’ll have for life now with memories i’ll hold close to my heart forever. Would recommend to anyone looking for a ton of laughs and a recharge from the real world!

Ciara F. · Google review · August 2026

I had the most incredible time with Salty Retreats! I was fortunate enough to attend their Sicily retreat in the summer and it was truly life-changing. Everything was organized and thoughtfully planned, creating the perfect balance of wellness, fun, and adventure. I met such beautiful people and shared experiences that will stay with me forever.

Nate and Erin are absolutely amazing hosts; their energy, care, and passion made the retreat feel both seamless and special. Every detail was handled with intention, which allowed us to simply enjoy, connect, and be present.

I left with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a renewed sense of clarity and joy. I can’t recommend this retreat enough! 🌿🇮🇹✨

Sarah F. · Google review · September 2025

Salty Sicily was a once in a lifetime experience. Erin and Nate are true professionals. I met the best people and enjoyed every minute of my trip.

Grace M. · Google review · September 2025

Words can hardly capture how incredible my experience at Salty Retreat was! From the moment I arrived, I was filled with joy, excitement, and a sense of adventure. Every moment brought me happiness, unforgettable memories, and the chance to connect with truly wonderful new friends. The best way to understand just how magical Salty Retreat is… is to jump in and experience it for yourself. Trust me, it’s an adventure you’ll never forget!

Sophie F. · Google review · September 2025

I had the absolute best time at Salty Retreats! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of unforgettable. The hosts were warm, welcoming, and made everyone feel like family. The yoga classes were definitely challenging, but in the best way possible—each session pushed me out of my comfort zone and left me feeling stronger, more grounded, and accomplished.
Outside of yoga, the retreat offered so much more. The sightseeing opportunities were incredible, 2 separate excursions giving us a real taste of the area, and the food was out of this world. And then, of course, the dancing… LOTS of it! Every night was filled with energy and laughter, and it quickly became one of my favorite parts of the whole experience.
What truly made this retreat so special, though, were the people. I met such amazing souls who inspired me, encouraged me, and reminded me to open up and step outside of my comfort zone. I left with real connections and memories that will last a lifetime.
Special shoutout to Nate, Telvin, and Joe—without a doubt the life of the party! Their energy, humor, and spirit brought everything to another level.
If you’re considering joining a retreat with Salty Retreats, I can’t recommend it enough. It’s the perfect balance of wellness, adventure, fun, and connection. I came back feeling renewed, inspired, and so grateful for the whole experience. Already thinking about my next one

Justin Y. · Google review · September 2025

I recently attended Salty Sicily and it was, without a doubt, one of the most impactful experiences of my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired. The retreat struck the perfect balance between fun, connection, and deep personal growth.
The workshops and activities were thoughtfully curated, allowing me to reconnect with myself in ways I didn’t even realize I needed. I learned so much about myself. The coaches created a safe, nurturing space for exploration and transformation.
What made it even more special were the incredible people I met. There was such a strong sense of community and openness. By the end, it felt like we were all part of something much bigger.
If you’re considering this retreat—do it. It’s an investment in yourself that’s worth every moment.

Melissa T. · Google review · August 2025

I have had the absolute pleasure of going on two SALTY trips in the past year. Eat . Pray. Move in Sicily and Volcanos and Vibes in El Salvador. Both were incredible. A great way to travel alone or with friends. All details are taken care of. The accommodation, food, workouts, social events and day trips were perfect. Lots to do but also the option to take time by yourself. SALTY has given me the opportunity to challenge myself, reflect and grow in ways I was not expecting. l have made so many likeminded friends on each trip. Already looking forward to my next getaway with SALTY.

Mandala M. · Google review · March 2025Also went to El Salvador

Sicily with SALTY Retreats in May? Pure perfection. ☀️

Stunning beachfront property? Check! Delicious daily lunches at the beach bar? Check!

Dreamy yoga shala with killer classes? Check, check, check! ‍

Fitness options? They upped the game - shadowboxing on the beach, anyone?

Exploring stunning seaside villages like Marzamemi and Taormina? Amazing!

Huge shoutout to Erin, Nate & Nikki for keeping the energy high. 🥂

Melissa M. · Google review · June 2024

Salty handles all the details of planning a trip, letting you truly relax and have a fun-filled, stress-free vacation. They create a safe and secure environment, so you can just focus on enjoying yourself. Highly recommend Salty Retreats to anyone who wants a truly rejuvenating getaway.

Thank you Salty Retreats!

I had such an unforgettable experience in Morocco on a SALTY retreat. From the moment I arrived, I felt genuinely welcomed and cared for. The entire retreat was so thoughtfully put together, the perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and connection.

What really made it special was the people. Everyone was incredibly warm, kind, and attentive, and they created an environment that made you feel comfortable right away, almost like family. You could tell how much heart went into every detail.

The food was also absolutely delicious—something I looked forward to every day.

It’s honestly hard to think of anything they could have done better. The whole experience felt effortless in the best way, and I left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already wishing I could go back. I would absolutely recommend SALTY to anyone looking for a meaningful and memorable retreat.

Dawna L. · Google review · May 2026

I went on the Salty Morocco retreat and it was the trip of a lifetime. If you are considering one of their trips this is your sign to book it! Erin and Nate work so hard to come up with a perfect schedule that is perfectly balanced with work outs free time and excursions. The connections you making are life lasting and by the end everyone feels like family.

It was also my birthday on this trip and they went above and beyond to make my day feel so special.

The trip is great for solo travelers or grab a friend or two (your mom!) and bring them along. Everyone feels welcome and it is so much fun.

It also is a choose your own adventure where there is a schedule but everything is optional. Even though it’s optional I would recommend doing everything you can because each experience is so unique and so much fun!

Abigail B. · Google review · May 2026

I decided to book a retreat last minute and oh did it not dissapoint!

From the adventures, to the activites, to the connections made, the new friends, to the rooftoo yoga sessions and beachside parties, this trip will stay in my mind forever!

The vibes were there, the memories were made and i came back the heart fuller.

To anyone who wants to have fun and be adventurous in a safe and comforting space, this is the retreat for you!

Laurence B. · Google review · May 2025

Best fitness retreat. Erin and Nate certainly know how to balance fun, well-being and fitness while being so organized and discovering the country safely but fully! Along with their top coaches and photographer, we never felt out of place or bored. The trip to Morocco was certainly one to remember. Where to next?

Jessica K. · Google review · May 2025

V L. · Google review · May 2025

I can't say enough good things about this retreat business. What Nate and Erin have created is everything, and more. To be able to arrive somewhere you've never been with people you have never met, and to leave with a whole new group of friends with the most remarkable experiences and memories is just so special. I highly recommend their retreats to anyone! Younger adults, retirees, couples, solo-travellers, friend groups, etc. I truly think they offer something for everyone and that all are included. Thank you for one of the best weeks ever! Already can't wait for my next Salty retreat!

Catherine T. · Google review · May 2025

I had such an incredible time on this retreat! Everything was beautifully organized, and the space they created allowed for deep connection, fun, and personal growth. From surfing and workouts to yoga and exploring this beautiful country, every day was filled with unforgettable experiences. I’m so grateful I said yes — truly a week to remember ❤️ I’d absolutely recommend Salty Retreat and would love to join another in the future!

Julie M. · Google review · May 2025

I can’t believe how marvellous our time in Morocco was. From the markets in Marrakech and the fantastic dinner out with authentic, dancing entertainment, to the beauty of seaside Tagazhut, the surfing, the shopping, the workouts and the yoga, the magnificent rich food, the cliff jumping at Paradise Valley, and the sand dune surfing! All with friendly people both locally and on the retreat. Congratulations to you Erin and Nate, your organization skills and warm open hearts are truly beautiful.

Beth C. · Google review · May 2025

I highly suggest booking a salty retreats. You can be a beginner or pro in the fitness field and no matter what, you'll still be welcomed with open arms and made to feel at home. Its a great way to check off items on your bucket list, while not feeling like you're needing a vacation when you come home for a vacation. Every retreat itinerary is optional so if you're not feeling up to something one day there is a zero judgement zone if you'd like to sit this one out. I suggest you run, not walk to booking your next vacation with salty retreats. You won't be disappointed!

Danielle H. · Google review · May 2025

Salty Retreats, I feel like everyone I know should experience at least one of their retreats. Erin and Nate is the perfect combo and plans everything for everyone perfectly along with the coaches which are sooo down to earth. I will have to do another retreat in the future! Also, Cory captures everyone’s perfect smiles! 📸

Jude K. · Google review · May 2025

Surf, sweat, flow!
What an amazing week with Salty Retreats. We had an awesome itinerary with something for everyone. Options for surf, yoga, Pilates and strength workouts- or if you just want to hangout and soak up the sun, that’s more than welcome!
I can’t wait to spend another week with an incredible team of instructors and participants alike. Thank you Salty!

I went on both retreats to Nicaragua and Panama with SALTY and had a wonderful experience each time. You meet awesome people and you can truly make it what you want. It is nice to have a schedule to refer to and have it planned out for you and it’s all optional (except having fun) :) If you’re going back and forth I say try it out, I’m really glad I did and now I get fomo every time there’s a SALTY retreat!

Ana P. · Google review · April 2026Also went to Panama

I had such a great time that to describe it... I mean, can I do justice??? Everyday was different and equally fun: wake up, say hello to sun, bond with friends, workout like hell, sweat, learn new things, laugh, giggle, even more workout like hell, party, more party, and enjoy life and do that for a week. Everything optional except having fun. I highly recommend it as a right of passage.

Vahik M. · Google review · December 2025

If you’re on the fence about booking a SALTY retreat, my answer will always be to just do it! I went back and forth before booking and wasn’t sure if this was for me, but I’m so glad I went for it. I can honestly say I’m incredibly grateful I chose SALTY. There truly was something for everyone. Whether you’re into workouts, relaxation, social time, exploring, or doing all of it, there was space and time to enjoy everything at your own pace. This retreat wasn’t just a vacation, it was a full experience. From the community to the memories made, it exceeded every expectation. Can’t wait to go on another one!!

Naomi T. · Google review · December 2025

I had the pleasure of attending a Salty Retreat in Nicaragua in November 2025, and it was an incredible experience. The resort was absolutely beautiful, and the people were so warm and welcoming. The retreat offered a perfect balance of workouts, fun activities, and time to relax and recharge. Everything was thoughtfully organized, and the atmosphere was amazing. I’m already looking forward to joining another Salty Retreat in the future!

Chelsea D. · Google review · December 2025

Encourage anyone on the fence to take the plunge! Spent a wonderful week in Nicaragua with SALTY.

The schedule was well-paced with several classes a day and ample time to explore or just read by the pool. The food was fresh and nourishing, and the group vibe was easygoing. It’s a great option if you want to deepen your practice in a location that feels a world away from the daily grind and/or want to meet awesome new people and have a ton of fun! Highly recommended for a genuine disconnect.

Aaron S. · Google review · December 2025

Best week EVER!

I can’t say enough about my experience with SALTY Retreats! From start to finish, it exceeded every expectation I had. I went in worried about fitting in, but those worries vanished almost instantly.

The mix of fitness, wellness, and fun in the most beautiful location was absolute perfection. The coaches were knowledgeable, supportive, and genuinely invested in every guest. The workouts were challenging but adaptable, and I never once felt out of place, even trying things that were new to me.

The people, the views, the resort, the excursions, and every thoughtful detail made the week unforgettable. I laughed, learned, and felt completely taken care of. I want to go on every SALTY Retreat and bring everyone I know!

After spending an incredibly fun week in Panama with the Salty Retreats crew, I can honestly say the entire experience exceeded my expectations. Nate and Erin are such welcoming, genuine, dynamic, and inclusive people who create a really special atmosphere from the moment you arrive.

Everything was well organized and thoughtfully planned. I especially loved the balance between workouts, yoga, social time, excursions, surfing, and of course, a bit of partying. The vibe throughout the week was amazing. It truly was a memorable trip.

Salty Retreats was my first solo trip, and I never once felt alone. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to discover new places, stay active, and meet great people along the way.

Janick B. · Google review · April 2026

Got to enjoy the full salty experience in Panama. It was the perfect mix of workouts, yoga, relaxing and night outs. Salty was able to bring a great group of people together. I recommend this trip for people looking to get a little bit of everything from their vacation without having the stress of planning any activities/excursions.

Mohena S. · Google review · April 2026

I can’t say enough amazing things about my SALTY retreat experience. As someone who was a little nervous about traveling alone, they completely exceeded my expectations and made me feel safe, supported, and truly taken care of from start to finish.

The planning was seamless down to every detail, it was thoughtfully organized, which allowed me to fully relax and enjoy the experience without any stress. What really stood out to me was the perfect balance they created between wellness, fitness, and fun. From energizing workouts to mindful moments and unforgettable adventures, every day felt intentional and fulfilling.

Beyond the activities, the environment they create is something really special. It’s welcoming, inclusive, and genuinely uplifting. I met the most incredible people and formed friendships that I know will last a lifetime it truly feels like I gained a forever family.

If you’re even thinking about solo travel, this is the company to go with. It’s more than just a trip it’s an experience that stays with you long after you return home. Highly, highly recommend! SALTYFAM4LIFE <3

Amazing trip!!

Such a great experience with SALTY Retreats! If you are nervous or on the fence, just book it!

It was the perfect balance of wellness, fitness, social events and adventures. The coaches, hosts and people on the trip were so accommodating and inclusive. Couldn’t have asked for a better crew to spend a week in beautiful Panama ☺️

If you love fitness, sunshine, great people and great vibes then you will love Salty!

Sarah M. · Google review · March 2026

Erin and Nate are hands down the best humans to hang and travel with! From the locations, vibes, energy and execution. To the food, workouts, adventures and all of the fun -- SALTY is something so special that can only be explained by experiencing it firsthand. And the beauty is, everything is already planned for you so you can choose your own adventure within the adventure! Can't wait to keep ticking off the SALTY adventures with this team 🧜🏻‍♀️🩵💫🏄🏻‍♀️🌅🧂🤙🏻💃🏻

Lina V. · Google review · March 2026

Everything on the Panama retreat was perfectly organized and incredibly fun - the workouts, activities, meals, nights out, and pockets of time for relaxing. Erin, Nate, and the other coaches created a sense of community amongst the group that I have not experienced on other retreats. Can’t wait for my next Salty trip! 🙌🏻

Megan V. · Google review · March 2026

I’ve done other group trips before, and this was honestly on a completely different level! It just felt BALANCED. Everything was planned, but nothing felt forced. It kept you feeling good and healthy while still leaving room for fun!

You had structure—an itinerary of workouts, surfing, excursions—but also so much freedom to just enjoy yourself. No weird pressure around food or drinking either. The food was unreal, and if you wanted a margarita, you had one!

And the people… I didn’t expect to connect like that. You’re basically showing up with strangers and somehow leaving with real friendships. Everyone—from the coaches to the other guests to the local hosts—were just genuinely good humans. Supportive, encouraging, but never pushy.

Erin and Nate, in particular, are some of the most incredible humans I’ve ever met! You can genuinely feel how much they care. At one point I had a minor calf injury, and they immediately went out of their way to accommodate me and even checked in on me afterwards to make sure I was okay. You’re not treated like a client—you truly feel like part of a family.

The whole experience was also just so easy. Everything was organized for you, so you could actually relax and be present. And the locations? Insane!!! Like, some of the best places I’ve ever stayed!

It felt like the perfect mix of wellness, adventure, and fun. I got to move my body, try new things like surfing and snorkeling, and meet amazing people!

Overall, I’d go back in a heartbeat!! Erin & Nate—I can’t wait to book my next trip and hug you again while cheersing spicy margs!! #saltyforever 🫶🏼

This was my first Salty retreat and I had such an incredible experience! Everything was so well organized. From the daily workouts to the accommodation, day trips, and surf classes. It made the whole week feel completely stress free and easy to enjoy. The organizers did an amazing job creating a welcoming and supportive environment. I’m grateful I got to experience Sri Lanka with Salty and would recommend it to anyone thinking about joining a retreat!

Where do I even begin? I’ve attended 2 Salty Retreats (Sicily and Sri Lanka), 2 years apart, and would attend 1000 more!

Erin and Nate are the most amazing hosts and retreat guides. They do whatever in their power to ensure their guests are happy and taken care of it. I attended Sicily alone and never once felt uncomfortable or left out (it’s actually impossible to feel this way with the sense of belonging and community that is created and fostered by Nate and Erin).

Each retreat is a beautiful balance of sweat, culture and excitement, but nothing is ever mandatory. You choose your own adventure!

I could continue writing this review for days but I’ll finish with saying that everyone must do at least one salty retreat before they die. No questions asked. You will not regret!

After attending two Salty Retreats, I can confidently say it’s an experience I would recommend again and again. As someone who loves to travel, it’s rare to find a trip that feels this thoughtfully curated from start to finish. It’s perfect for anyone who’s too busy to plan a getaway themselves, anyone wanting to solo travel while still connecting with an amazing community, those looking to reconnect with their fitness routine, or simply anyone craving a week filled with joy.

The accommodations are always stunning and in beautiful locations, the meals are incredible, and everything is seamlessly organized so you can truly relax and enjoy the experience. The kind of fun I’ve had on these trips honestly reminds me of being a kid again — that feeling of pure, carefree bliss that’s hard to replicate in the middle of a busy adult life. Every retreat leaves you with unforgettable memories and friendships that last well beyond the week. Erin and Nate are just simply the best and do everything in their power to make it an unforgettable vacation!

My husband and I just returned from a retreat in Sri Lanka with Salty and it ended up being one of the most fun and energizing trips we’ve taken.

The retreat is designed to balance movement, adventure and social connection and it really delivers on that. Over the course of about 10 days we moved between two completely different parts of the country, starting on the southern coast in Ahangama and finishing in the mountains of Ella.

In Ahangama the days naturally revolved around the ocean. Mornings often started with beach workouts or yoga by the water which was an incredible way to begin the day. The accommodations were STUNNING and right on the beach so the whole experience felt very immersive. From there the days flowed into surf lessons, swimming, group meals and time to just relax and enjoy the ocean. The vibe of the group was also a huge part of the experience. It quickly felt like a tight knit group of people who were all there to move their bodies, explore and have fun together.

After Ahangama, we traveled inland to Ella which felt like stepping into a completely different world. The coastal heat gave way to cooler mountain air, rainforest and tea plantations. I absolutely loved this part of the trip. Waking up to monkeys on our balcony felt surreal and the tea country landscapes were stunning. Hiking through the hills and exploring the area gave the trip a quieter, more reflective energy after the more energetic beach portion.

One of the other highlights of the retreat was the wildlife experiences. Seeing elephants on safari was unforgettable and one of those moments that reminds you how incredible Sri Lanka’s natural environment really is.

The food throughout the retreat was also fantastic. Everything felt fresh, nourishing and flavorful which paired perfectly with the active days of workouts, surfing and exploring.

Overall, this retreat does a great job of blending fitness, adventure and cultural exploration. It never felt overly rigid or overly “wellness serious.” Instead it felt like a group of people coming together to move, explore a beautiful country and genuinely enjoy the experience.

I would absolutely recommend this trip to people who like to stay active while traveling and who enjoy social, high energy group adventures.

Where do I begin ! As someone who has now gone on THREE salty retreats I can recommend them so confidently! Travelling with Salty retreats brings ease, excitement, curiosity meeting new people and places and a new joy to movement and balanced travel. The only warning I have is watch out after your first trip because before you know it you’re booking another! See ya next year Salty!

I attended the "Surf, Sweat, Flow" Salty Retreat in Costa Rica earlier this year and I must admit, it was nothing short of an absolute blast. Salty knows how to balance out everything beautifully: exercise, adventure, relaxation, and serenity. The group was a fantastic mix of positive, interesting people with some new lifelong friends. I would definitely attend another Salty Retreat in the future and recommend it to anyone wanting to get away to a gorgeous location on a trip that's fully organized for you, while getting active, learning new workouts and a new culture, eating delicious, healthy meals, all with a ton of flexibility and uplifting energy. I wish I could head out to one right now!

SALTY: Margs and Memories x1000 por favor

Words cannot fully capture the joy and love experienced throughout my week of Salty… it’s a feeling. A feeling I’m holding onto for dear life. 🥰

My week of Salty was magic and wonderful. Erin and Nate are incredible (INCREDIBLE) organizers. They’ve pulled in the best of the best instructors who were the most personable and encouraging.

Short backstory: I was in dire need of a major reboot. Mentally, socially and physically… at SALTY, I got it all and more. I had the opportunity to connect with a beautiful group of people who I can’t help but call family now. This was a week of ultimate bliss and pure happiness.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart🫀(anatomically correct heart), Erin, Jenna, Joe, Nate and Tarik. And Brett 🫶 for capturing the purest of memories!

SALTY - Mexico 2024, aka "Margs and Memories," was truly one of the BEST weeks of our lives—an experience beyond words or any price tag.

A week filled with boundless laughter, unforgettable moments, grounding practices, movement, breathing, dancing, surfing, stargazing, self-discovery, and, above all, love and connection.
Erin and Nate created a space where strangers became family, and we left home with a bond so rare and special ✨️💞♾️
A huge shoutout to them for going above and beyond to make my friend’s 35th birthday celebration the BEST he's ever had—so thoughtful and epic.

Forever carrying this SALTY magic in my heart 💫 till the next one!! SALADO FOREVER 🖤🖤

Salty is the best! If you are looking for a week to step away and reset, sign up. Erin, Nate, and the rest of the coaches bring amazing energy and build a great community. I recently went on their trip to El Salvador and it was incredible, met a bunch of new people, worked out, did yoga, surfed, and explored an amazing place!

Will definitely be on another Salty Retreat!
