Wellness, Massage, and Yoga Tobago
We are delighted to offer yoga and massage in our beautiful open air pavilion with Judha Pacheco. Please email Judha directly to book a massage or 1:1 yoga session.
We invite you to experience our inspiring daily yoga classes led by Judha, featuring a slow vinyasa style infused with beautiful energy and clear instruction. Held in our stunning Wellness Studio, a purpose-built pavilion open to refreshing rainforest breezes and offering spectacular views of Castara Bay, these one-hour drop-in sessions run at 9am, seven days a week, for TT$80 – no need to book, just show up! For a more personalized experience, book a private one-hour session for TT$300, with discounts available for small groups. Starting January 2025, indulge in unique yoga offerings like Sunday Sweetness (yin yoga, Sundays at 4:30pm), Heat in D Place (power vinyasa, Wednesdays at 4:30pm), or the enchanting Full Moon Yoga on select evenings for TT$120.
Judha’s Full body massage offers a dynamic bodywork therapy and combines the best of yoga and massage through slow rhythmic movement. Working from head to toe, Judha uses her thumbs, palms, elbows, knees and feet to apply a combination of acupressure, gentle twisting, massage, and assisted yoga stretches. Together these actions result in a full body treatment that relieves muscular tension and balances the body. The treatment will leave you feeling deeply relaxed, grounded and rejuvenated. This massage can also be offered to two people simultaneously – relax and unwind together, each with your own massage therapist. A one hour full body massage is TT$550.
Judha offers a relaxing indian head massage, 30 minutes to switch off from the world and have your tensions released. Passionate about the positive effects of all massage therapy on the body and mind, Judha offers massage to suit individual needs. The primary goal of the massage is to relax the body, but it also works to heal problem areas, decrease muscle tension, and improve circulation. Massage is a great way to de-stress and relax at the beginning of your holiday, and we strongly recommend that you book in good time. A half and hour Indian Head Massage is TT$300.

15-22 November | Can You Love Now?
Following the success of our previous homegrown yoga retreats, we’re delighted to share our next yoga holiday: “Can You Love Now?”. In the current climate, we’re all invited to reflect on how we show up for ourselves, our families, and the world around us. When life feels perfect and ideal, it’s easy to lead with love and composure—but the true test lies in how we respond to discomfort, challenges, and the less-than-perfect moments that life presents.
“Can You Love Now?” offers a safe and nurturing space to explore this deeply personal question. Hosted by our in-house expert yoga teacher Jovander Pacheco (aka Judha), this retreat combines yoga and other wellness modalities to help you rediscover your true self. Together, we’ll uncover how to approach life’s challenges with greater understanding, compassion, and love. This isn’t just a yoga retreat—it’s an invitation to embrace life’s imperfections and rediscover the power of love in every moment. Learn more here.
