Join us for a unique wellness week
8-14 June, 2026
San Rafael (Antioquia), Colombia
Aura Haven’s Wellness Retreat will be hosted in San Rafael, just 2 hours from MDE Airport. You will be immersed in nature and surrounded by all that your heart and soul needs – breathtaking views, delicious food, kind humans, pilates & yoga, and many more nourishing experiences.
We want to provide a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, with organized activities and experiences that you decide on taking part in.
Located just alongside a beautiful hiking trail, the retreat will be hosted right in the heart of nature. Surrounded by lush greenery and the peaceful Colombian countryside, it offers the perfect setting for guests reconnecting with themselves and the world around them.
We are located 20 minutes from the town center in moto transport. The natural environment here is perfect for mindfulness practices and your wellness journey. Above all, we want you to unwind, relax, and take this time for YOU.
All our retreats are conducted in English, however we can accommodate Spanish-speakers.
WHAT SETS AURA HAVEN RETREATS APART
The retreat offers daily yoga and pilates sessions, including both sunrise and sunset practices, allowing guests to experience the full beauty of Colombian’s natural surroundings while enhancing their physical and mental well-being. Meditation sessions provide an opportunity to cultivate inner peace, while cultural and creative workshops—such as chocolate making and ceremony, or cooking class—introduce guests to Colombia’s richness.
Aura Haven Retreats go beyond yoga and pilates, offering a deeper connection to the community around the village, from food sourced locally and made with fresh ingredients, through discovering the nature: herbs and plants in the jungle, rivers and waterfalls, unique birds, and spending time with horses, to opportunity to meet local neighbors or children in a local school.
PLEASE NOTE: the sun sets around 6pm in San Rafael, we recommend arriving before 3pm on Monday or the day before (you can explore the village of San Rafael on Sunday before joining us the next day). Our beautiful haven is located in a more remote nature setting best accessible in daylight.
