Escape the winter and join Sheri Celentano and Kate Durand for 6 nights of beach paradise! Retreat is an opportunity to unwind, swim, practice, hike and recharge. We aim to provide the perfect mix of activity and rest, so you can return home feeling better than when you arrived. Whether you attend solo or with a friend, you will be in great company!
Gitana del Mar Beach Retreat is located on the shores of the Caribbean Sea at the foothills of the impressive and magical Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest Coastal Mountain Range. This area is referred to as the Heart of the world, not only because of its geographical location, but more importantly because every single ecosystem exists and thrives in the Sierra Nevada mountains.
We will have use of the entire eco-resort with a private beach, pool, spa, restaurant and bar. The restaurant’s sea to table approach combines healthy ingredients together in a coastal themed, fusion-style menu with Colombian, Latin and Asian flavors. The menu changes daily and three gourmet meals will include fresh fruit juices, bottled water, coffee and tea. The kitchen can accommodate any vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free requests as long as you let us know in advance. Out of dedication to the climate, there is no AC on-site and we will enjoy the ocean breeze.
