Hosting a retreat is about so much more than booking a beautiful location. It’s about creating an experience your guests will remember long after they return home. From finding the right venue and accommodations to organizing meals, activities, and logistics, every detail contributes to the overall experience.
Whether you’re planning your very first retreat or you’re an experienced retreat leader looking for a new destination, Zen Cabarete provides the space, support, and flexibility to help bring your vision to life.
Located directly on Kite Beach in Cabarete, Dominican Republic, Zen Cabarete combines beachfront tranquility, healthy living, and adventure to create the perfect setting for yoga retreats, wellness retreats, fitness retreats, mindfulness experiences, and transformational group getaways.
One of the highlights of Zen Cabarete is our open-air yoga loft overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Surrounded by fresh ocean air and panoramic views, it provides a peaceful environment where your guests can fully immerse themselves in their practice.
The yoga shala comfortably accommodates groups of up to 15 participants, creating an intimate atmosphere for movement, meditation, workshops, and community. If you’re planning a larger retreat, we’re happy to discuss alternative spaces that can accommodate your group.
Whether you teach yoga, breathwork, meditation, qigong, sound healing, or personal development workshops, our space is designed to support meaningful experiences.
A successful retreat isn’t about luxury, it’s about creating a space where your guests can rest, recharge, and feel at home. At Zen Cabarete, our accommodations are intentionally simple, comfortable, and designed to support a wellness-focused stay.
We offer 15 guest rooms, including a spacious three-bedroom penthouse, making it easy to accommodate both solo travelers and couples. Most of our rooms feature one queen bed and one single bed, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for a variety of group needs.
For guests looking to wake up to breathtaking views, we have two ocean-view rooms, as well as our penthouse with a large private balcony overlooking Kite Beach and the Atlantic Ocean. The remaining rooms overlook lush palm trees and tropical gardens, creating a peaceful setting just steps from the beach.
Rather than focusing on luxury amenities, we’ve created spaces that encourage guests to disconnect from the distractions of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most – their well-being, their practice, and the community around them.

Food is often one of the most memorable parts of a retreat experience.
Each morning, guests enjoy a healthy breakfast featuring fresh tropical fruit, overnight oats, homemade yogurt, and farm-fresh eggs.
In the evenings, everyone gathers for our family-style vegetarian dinner, where wholesome farm-to-table meals are freshly prepared by our talented Haitian chefs. Sharing dinner together naturally creates conversation, connection, and a sense of community that many retreat leaders value.
Our approach to food is simple: nourishing meals made with fresh ingredients that support energy, wellness, and mindful living.
While many retreat leaders come to Zen Cabarete for the yoga shala and peaceful environment, there is so much more your guests can experience during their stay.
Depending on your retreat vision, you can include activities such as:
These optional experiences allow you to create a retreat that feels unique to your community while giving guests opportunities to explore the beauty and adventure of Cabarete.
If you’re hosting your first retreat, it’s natural to feel overwhelmed by all the moving pieces.
Our team is here to help make the planning process as smooth as possible. From accommodations and meals to scheduling and activity recommendations, we’ll work with you to create an experience that reflects your vision.
If you’ve already hosted retreats before, you’ll appreciate the flexibility of our packages and the opportunity to customize your stay based on your group’s needs.
Whether your focus is yoga, mindfulness, fitness, women’s wellness, personal development, or holistic health, we’ll help create a retreat your guests will remember.
Every retreat is unique because every retreat leader has a different vision. Some focus on yoga and mindfulness, others on fitness, personal development, or creating meaningful connections within their community. Finding a venue that aligns with your goals is one of the most important decisions you’ll make.
