november 1-7, 2026 thatch caye resort • private island
let go & let in
Step away from the noise of everyday life and join us for a transformative week on a private island in the Caribbean. For six nights and seven days, Thatch Caye will be our sanctuary, a barefoot hideaway where we’ll welcome the new year with intention, movement, and connection.
Thatch Caye, located off the coast of Belize, is a private island paradise where barefoot luxury meets laid-back island vibes. Your oceanfront cabana or overwater bungalow opens directly to the sea, ideal for a sunrise swim or watching the stars dance over the waves. With three nourishing meals served daily by the island’s chef, you can fully settle into island time.
Adventure awaits with snorkeling on nearby reefs, paddleboarding in crystal-clear waters, or exploring the surrounding cayes. Prefer to unwind? Swing in a hammock, treat yourself to a massage, or move through a gentle yoga flow as the ocean breeze rolls in. Whether you’re diving into nature or simply sinking into stillness, Thatch Caye is the ultimate escape.
This retreat is your invitation to let go of what no longer serves you and make space for what’s ahead. Each day will offer practices that ground the body and uplift the spirit, alongside plenty of space to rest, explore, and just be.
Surrounded by turquoise waters and palm trees, Thatch Caye offers the ideal setting to reflect, reconnect, and recharge. Beyond the yoga and movement sessions, we’ll share nourishing meals, meaningful conversations, and island adventures that inspire presence and joy. This week is about more than wellness, it’s about remembering who you are and stepping into the new year with clarity and community.

Owner and Founder Sara Chaplin's journey into yoga began soon after college, and it immediately resonated with her. The practice fulfilled a deep longing, providing a supportive haven to release tension, alleviate stress, and reconnect with her authentic self. Since 2004, Sara has immersed herself in an ongoing exploration of both the physical and philosophical dimensions of yoga. On the mat, Sara brings a delightful mix of lightheartedness and playfulness, creating a welcoming space for practitioners to relax and embrace the present moment. As an eager learner, she approaches each class with curiosity, always seeking new insights and personal growth.
We offer two yoga classes a day on our yoga retreats: a morning Vinyasa power flow class which is quite active and invigorating, and a restorative Yin yoga class in the evening with a longer relaxation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the daily itinerary?
We’re very flexible when it comes to schedules and itineraries. We have two yoga classes scheduled a day, in the morning and early evening, but of course all are optional. The rest of the day and evening is completely up to you, we’ll be there to offer up ideas for the group!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I share a room with someone else?
We’d be happy to arrange this, although most people joining us on their own seem to like their own room. We normally put people in a shared room if they’re traveling together and request it specifically – friends, siblings, couples etc. However, if we do get requests from two people traveling on their own who would like to share, we can put you two in a shared room. Please contact us if this is your preference.
