"A Must Do!"
I can’t say enough about Sunshine Retreats of Aruba & the hosts, Gaby & Yari! I looked at numerous retreats. Life in general caused me to be stuck in a bad place. I needed a reset & to take a break & focus on myself. I have just returned from the wellness retreat & am rejuvenated, positive, lighter, hopeful, open, filled with gratitude, more aware, possess new tools & have developed life-long friendships. The work is their calling & it shows – besides being so incredibly good at what they do, they are truly genuine people & passionate about helping everyone who joins them. They complement each other perfectly & the result is an amazing balance & the benefit of different perspectives. You will leave in a better place than you came! They have developed the perfect itinerary – a mix of yoga, meditation, wellness/holistic options, relaxation, delicious food, & fun activities which put you in touch with nature & the ability to see/learn about the island. They are patient & flexible however to adjusting the schedule to exactly what serves the participants best. They truly care! They have surrounded themselves with amazing people from restaurant owner to massage therapist. The accommodations are great & the people of Aruba, the weather, local scenery & views can’t be beat. Don’t consider a retreat with anyone else! In the future they have other locations planned & I know they will be absolute perfection also. They are a gift you deserve! I look forward to next time!

"My amazing retreat experience! "
Everything was just perfect, well organised and easy. Yari and Gabby were knowledgeable and personal. Missing them already 😘 I recommend this retreat to anyone who’s open to outdoor adventure, local food testing and spiritual connections with the others in the group. Keep in mind that location of the retreat facility is subject to change depending on the group size. Thank you Sunshine retreat, we will be back. 😃 Larisa, Lena.

"Exceeded my expectations"
Loved the "local" experiences and knowledge of the facilitators. Appreciated staying focused on the agenda and felt safe in all activities.

I have nothing but words of congratulations and thanks to Gaby and Yari. The retreat was everything I expected, and more. The organization, the activities, the wonderful place, and above all the human quality that I found there were exceptional. The dedication and love with which they created this space was noted. I wanted to make the most of it, so I participated in everything they offered me... the cocoa ceremony, the massages, the meditations, the Yoga classes, the mindfulness walk, everything was part of this beautiful experience.
The food also deserves a special mention. I had my doubts because I am not a vegetarian, but it was a delicious discovery and learning for my palate. I would recommend it to everyone who is searching for meaning. Living a retreat like this is a door to the interior of oneself. All my gratitude to the Sunshine Retreat team for creating the environment of peace and connection necessary for that magic to happen!!

It’s the most beautiful experience of my life! Thank you Yari and Gabby for giving me the opportunity to find what I’ve been looking for a long time. Something that was always there. Something inside me. I feel so good now! I wish everyone the same experience. It’s a gift for yourself.

This was our second time experiencing yoga with Yari and we’re looking forward to next time! She is wonderful with every level, we never feel intimidated or like we can’t keep up because she provides so many variations. She is welcoming and kind and such a wonderful instructor!

Gabby was our instructor and she was so personable! She made sure to make me feel extra special for my bday and accommodated other virgin yoga participants. She was very thorough and the experience was relaxing yet challenging. 10/10!!!

Yari's yoga was peaceful, engaging and I wish I found her sooner so that I could have gone to her every day! The location she chose was amazing because it affords you shade and beautiful views. Plus, she creates a lovely vibe with music and incense though you don't smell it because of that lovely Aruban breeze. I appreciate the sentiment! Highly recommend it!

I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone that wants to try yoga for the first time. The instructor Yarimar was amazing. She made sure that you understood the importance of breathing and ensuring you are comfortable throughout the entire experience. I wish I could start every morning off with yoga on the beach. This experience changing me.
