Tropical Escapes - Caribbean Yoga Retreats, Adventure Travel and Vacation Package

Get more than a vacation...

Experience exciting adventure and tropical tranquility while supporting sustainable tourism. We think the Caribbean is one of the best places on earth. Let us show you why!

Our groups are small to ensure a more intimate, authentic experience and they can fill quickly so take a look at our current escape packages today.

We work with yoga studios and instructors, adventure groups, social clubs, scuba groups, dive shops, corporations looking for unique retreat opportunities and people interested in making the most out of their Caribbean vacations.

Each package that we put together is customized to fit each group's specific needs so bring your group to the Caribbean and let us take care of the rest!

No matter the size, style or make-up of your group, Tropical Escapes has accommodations that will fit! Stay at a luxury private villa, quaint guesthouse, historic estate, unique wilderness retreat or a charming boutique hotel. Each offers a distinctive feel and different amenities, but quality and comfort are assured at all.
As a socially conscious company we choose to deal with small, individually owned properties that treat their employees well rather then big corporate run resorts. We feel that this provides our clients with a more authentic experience while contributing in a more meaningful way to the local economies.

Most have a private chef or an on-site restaurant so you are sure to enjoy delicious, healthful meals from fresh market ingredients where vegetarians, vegans and other special dietary needs can be met. We are also more than happy to make reservations for you at one of the many fantastic island restaurants where local as well as international cuisine can be enjoyed.

Our packages normally include 2-3 island activities. This gives people the opportunity to enjoy a variety of experiences together as well as plenty of down time and the freedom to pursue their own interests. We are of course more than happy to recommend and arrange an additional activities that our guest may be interested in as well. We have tried just about everything available on these islands and are constantly searching out new experiences. Basically, if it’s fun, we’ve done it and we want you to do it to! We select the best adventures, from the most responsible service providers. We do go out of our way to support small, independently owned and operated activities, the local taxi and tour guide associations, as well as groups involved in preservation and conservation where your dollars mean the most.

So visit our website, check out our current retreats or contact us to speak about leading your own Tropical Escape!

Additional Every group, and traveler for that matter, is unique. That is why we customize each package to create your perfect escape. From accommodations to restaurants to activities, it is our business to know all that these islands offer and to share this knowledge with you. Take comfort in the fact that we are there, on island, ensuring that all the details of your trip are taken care of.

Tropical Escapes hand selects and offers the widest range of adventures and activities available in the Caribbean. We love to hike, scuba dive, sail, make friends and explore all that these islands have to offer but our favorite thing to do is share the beauty and fun with you! Having become part of the communities where we operate, it is important to us to be able to offer you the convenience of an all-inclusive vacation while passing your dollars on to the small, local businesses and service providers rather then stuffing the pockets of off island investors.

We support sustainable tourism by working with environmentally and socially conscious boutique hotels and restaurants, by dealing directly with local taxi and tour guide associations and by encouraging activities that make use of the islands’ natural assets guaranteeing their importance to the economy.

We support eco-tourism and participation in heritage tours due not only to the quality of these activities but also the positive longer term implications that this type of sustainable tourism has on the future of these countries.

SCHEDULES & ITINERARIES
We offer a different kind of yoga retreat: YOURS. Tropical Escapes specializes in partnering with yoga instructors and studios interested in leading custom yoga retreats to the Caribbean islands of St. Lucia and Dominica.

Although each retreat is designed with the instructors tastes and clients in mind, registration is open to all! Check out our current escapes and retreats today for information on trips that are already scheduled.

Outside of class time group members can spend as much or as little time together as they'd like. We recommend including two or three fun, authentic island adventures on the itinerary for a taste of what the islands have to offer while allowing people plenty of free time to pursue individual interests and vacation style. Your retreat coordinator will be on island and available to arrange a la carte activities as people are interested as well.

Most of our packages include airport transfers, 7 nights accommodations, meals, 3 day trips and twice daily yoga.

Sample Itinerary:
7:30-9:00 Yoga
9:15 Breakfast
10:00 Day trip (3 days)
1:00 Lunch
4:30 Return from daytrip
5:00-6:30 Yoga

Day trips, although included, are of course optional. We are more than happy to arrange additional activities for people that are interested.
