Alchemy Adventure: Nicaragua
February 11-16, 2026
Playa Maderas, Nicaragua
Surf. Sweat. Connect. Transform.
A Coastal Escape for the Body, Mind and Spirit
Wake up to the sound of waves crashing against the shore. Move your body under the palms. Surf world-class breaks at golden hour. Share unforgettable meals with new friends who feel like old ones.
This is Nicaragua:
Anchored by beachfront villas just steps from the Pacific, this retreat blends movement, mindfulness, surf, adventure and community into one powerful experience. With a private jungle gym, an ocean-side yoga deck, catamaran day, local excursions, and world-class coaching, every moment is curated to help you feel alive, grounded, and free.
A five-night, six-day immersive retreat designed to help you find balance, reclaim your joy, and reconnect with the strongest version of yourself.

What Past Guests are Saying
“Sara and Sam are more than just guides and instructors - they truly care about everyone having the best experience.”
“Tulum was my second international trip with Alchemy, which in and of itself is a testament to how awesome they are. The lodging was fairly deep into the jungle and I LOVED the seclusion, way from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tulum. The schedule was packed with activities while having enough down time to chill out and unplug if needed.
- Jon
