Colombia Yoga & Wellness Holidays

Most travellers fly into Cartagena (CTG) on Colombia’s Caribbean coast. From the UK and Europe, the easiest routes are one-stop flights via major hubs such as Bogotá, Miami, Panama City, or Madrid. From North America, direct or one-stop flights are widely available.

We’ll meet you in Cartagena and transfer you to Isla Tierra Bomba by road and then a short boat crossing (around 20 minutes, depending on conditions). All transfers to and from the island are included at set times on the arrival and departure days.

Most itineraries include time in Cartagena at the end of the retreat. When it’s time to fly home, we’ll arrange your transfer back to Cartagena airport for your onward journey.

If you’d like advice on flight routes or arrival timings, we’re always happy to help.

Not at all. Yoga’s for everybody — and every body. You don’t need to touch your toes, balance on your head, or even have a regular practice to join us.

Yes, there’s usually yoga every day, but we see it as so much more than asana (postures). It’s about how you connect — with yourself, with the world around you, and with each other. Definitely not about how your pose looks.

If you’re new to yoga, a couple of classes before you come might help you feel more at ease, but everything on retreat is designed to meet you exactly where you’re at.

And if you are a regular yogi, you’ll still be challenged and inspired. Our teachers are brilliant at reading the room — offering plenty of options and space to explore at your own pace.

You’ll usually practise twice a day: something strong and steady in the morning to wake you up, and something slower and grounding in the evening to let it all land.

We’re lucky to work with some of the most inspiring and respected teachers out there, from London to the US. Each brings their own flavour — vinyasa, restorative, meditation — but all share the same belief: yoga is for everyone. No ego. No competition. Just breath, movement, and space to be.

Colombia’s Caribbean coast is warm pretty much all year, and the weather has that classic tropical feel — sun, heat, a sea breeze when you need it, and the odd quick shower that disappears almost as soon as it arrives. Expect daytime temperatures around 28–32°C, with warm, swimmable water from morning to night.

March falls into shoulder season in Cartagena and the nearby islands, which is a lovely sweet spot. It’s sunny and bright, but not quite as busy or intense as high season. Days feel long and golden, evenings are comfortable, and you get that relaxed “locals going about their lives” energy rather than crowds everywhere.

Humidity is very much a thing, so breathable clothing is your friend. Sea conditions are usually calm in March, which makes boat crossings and island days feel easy rather than adventurous.

If you like warm weather, turquoise water and that gently slowed-down Caribbean rhythm, March is a brilliant time to visit.

Colombia has been through big changes over the years, so it’s completely normal to have questions about safety. Today, the areas we visit — Isla Tierra Bomba and Cartagena — are well-established, visitor-friendly parts of the country, and generally considered safe when you use the same level of awareness you would anywhere else in the world.

For our retreats, everything is kept straightforward and supported. You’ll be met on arrival, transferred between locations, and accompanied by our team and trusted local partners throughout the trip. We choose places to stay and experiences that feel comfortable, relaxed and well-run, so you can settle into the week without worrying about logistics.

As with any city or coastal destination, it’s sensible to stay aware of your surroundings and keep valuables secure, especially in busy areas. We also recommend checking your government’s latest travel advice before you fly — and if you’d like guidance while planning, we’re always here to help.
