Straight from our guests’ camera rolls. The workouts, the adventures, the sunsets and the crew. This is what the Caribbean with Salt Escapes actually feels like.
Your Week
Arrive anytime after 4pm and step into your private beachfront villa on this untouched North-coast of the Dominican Republic. Unpack, explore the tropical grounds, and meet your new crew with a welcome drink by the infinity pool. We’ll shake off the travel day with a relaxing yoga session under the palms, then come together for our first chef-prepared dinner, served alfresco with views of the ocean and the sun sinking into the sea.
We kick off the day with a salty dose of fitness and adventure - a morning workout and ocean dip straight from the villa’s stretch of beach. After rinsing off, we’ll dive into a chef-prepared breakfast and some well-earned recovery time - guided yoga at lunchtime, followed by ocean dips, or just soaking up the sun with your crew. Come afternoon, we’re back at it with a high-energy beach workout, followed by another sunset feast bursting with bold Caribbean flavour.
Wake up for a salty morning of surfing, kayaking and paddle-boarding! Then we'll kick back and relax with ice cold fresh coconuts, some guided recovery and tanning time, before we work up a sweat in our afternoon teams workout on the beach. In between all that, enjoy our chef-cooked delights and marvel at the beauty of the Dominican Republic.
Begin the day with a sunrise workout, and a big tropical breakfast feast, before we set sail for everyone's favourite day of the week - boat day! Lunch, drinks and tunes are served up on board, and you can swim, snorkel and explore untouched tropical beaches. Keep an eye out for humpback whales, the warm waters of Samana Bay provide a sanctuary for whales during breeding season. Back on dry land, we’ll head back to our villa to wash off the salt before a magical sunset dinner.
We'll kick off our Thursday in the Caribbean with a workout, breakfast and more activities in the surf. After, enjoy a chill afternoon of recovery with a stretch session, ice baths and beachfront massages. Then it's time to get your best fits on for a sunset walk along the beach to dinner, where we'll kick back for a Caribbean feast and refreshing drinks at our favourite local spot.
It's our last full day together so we're making it count. Get stuck into the morning with an epic team workout, an ocean dip, and another colourful breakfast feast. Spend the day exploring with salty adventures, or soaking up the rays with your new mates poolside. As the sun begins to set on Day 6, there's one more chance to float in the sea, drink in hand and great people by your side, whilst you watch the sun sink behind the ocean.
Checkout may be at 10am, but there's still time for one last sunrise workout, a cool-off in the pool, and a final big breakfast to fuel the journey home. Hugs all around, but this isn't goodbye - it's just see you on the next adventure.

Twelve sea-view ensuite rooms, a 20-metre pool and heated jacuzzi. With direct beach access, your days can swing between surfing, swimming, or simply soaking up the sun.

“Second Salt Escapes retreat and another 10/10 experience. The villa was incredible. The workouts were challenging but scalable for everybody, and the food prepared by chef Robb was fantastic. Our trainer Clem and yogi Gemma were so …”
“I didn’t think it was possible for Salt Escapes to live up to the Instagram hype….but it did!! Salt Escapes was everything I imagined it could be and more. 5 star accommodations. 5 star meals. 5 star service. But at the end of the day it was the people that elevated the trip to the next level. I have new friends for life. And the staff- Sophie, Clem, Josh, Ayesha…I would follow them anywhere in the world. ❤️❤️”
“Incredible time with Salt - Villa and beach were sublime, activities a blast and everything ran smoothly whilst everyday accommodating the group's needs. Like-minded guests and the remarkable team (above and beyond every time!) made this week unforgettable, could not recommend more”
“Couldn’t recommend this getaway more. Everything from the location to the team to the workouts and the people was amazing. Mike and Amy are legends and have built such a unique experience for all of us to be able to enjoy! Thank you!!”
“Such a fun week with Salt Escapes in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴. The workouts were intense with supportive coaches and teammates. I will miss finishing a workout then jumping directly into the ocean. The food was all so delicious and hand crafted. My favorite was grilled chicken and peanut sauce one day for lunch. The best extracurriculars were boat day and surfing (the drone got a great video of me catching a wave 🌊). My birthday happened during the trip and it was like a non-stop party starting with shots and mid-night. The villa was even bigger and better looking in person. This place had the best hot tub I’ve ever seen! I will be booking another Salt Escape soon!”
“Had an epic week in the DR with the Salt Escapes crew! From the luxe villa, invigorating outdoor workouts (challenging but adaptable for all levels), relaxing pool and beach time (complete with cocktails), and incredible food (healthy and delicious!), I can’t recommend this retreat enough. What made the week especially special was the people and welcoming, inclusive environment. I’ve already booked my next Salt Escapes and can’t wait to return!”
“This was an amazing adventure. I went on the Caribbean Salt Escapes trip. All the staff (Amy Mike both Sophies and Josh) were so friendly, happy, and helpful. The food was incredible thanks to chef Sophie! The group was super fun and the workouts made me push myself. Def recommend it!”
“Had the best week with the best group of people at the Dominican Republic!! The week was filled with high intensity workouts, yoga, amazing and nourishing meals, surfing, massages and great conversations and laughter (and 10000 burpees)! Cannot wait to book onto my next trip in 2026!!”
“Just returned from an amazing trip to the Dominican Republic with Salt Escapes! Salt Escapes is a fantastic option for solo travelers or friends who want to have an incredible wellness and fitness experience. Mike and Amy are the …”
“This was my second trip with Salt Escapes, and I may have loved it even more. The luxury of walking from a beautiful villa to a pristine beach in the Caribbean, then back up the lawn into the pool and hot tub were a total delight. Just landed back home and I am already looking forward to my 3rd Salt Escapes!”
“Just finished a very amazing week with Salt escapes in the DR. The villa was stunning, and everything was so well planned, and couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Perfect balance of activity and leisure time. Loved it”
“I’ve just left and have already booked another Salt Escapes retreat!! What an amazing week in the Dominican Republic. The villa was absolutely stunning, food was cooked to perfection and the workouts were insane! Not forgetting the most amazing company, the SE team were very welcoming and ensured a seamless experience. I cannot recommend this enough, if you’re looking for a fun packed week of working out with like minded people, then get this booked ASAP! Team Salt Escapes, I’ll see you in Menorca.”
