Eden on the Chocolata, 200m north of the agua tank, La Chocolata, Nacascolo, San Juan del Sur, Departameno de Rivas, Nicaragua
San Juan del Sur Yoga Holiday Nicaragua
Due to COVID-19, Eden on the Chocolata is offering a private bungalow for the price of a shared bungalow! Social distancing at its best. Use this challenging time to give yourself the gift to go inwards, heal, and grow. Take this opportunity to reset and let this be your turning point to more conscious life. To ensure your safety, all of our retreat groups will stay small, you will mostly live outdoors and we make sure we implement the best safety and hygiene policies as possible.
Eden on the Chocolata provide space for you to connect with yourself and your surroundings, and adopt a healthy lifestyle through healthy food, yoga, and movement. Imagine waking up in the morning to the sounds of birds and monkeys in the nearby jungle. Each day beginning and ending with yoga looking over the ocean.
A healthy smoothie bowl is coming your way while you are drinking freshly brewed coffee at the rancho surrounded by banana trees. You will enjoy the amazing view, exercise in our outdoor fitness area, and dive into our swimming pool to cool off from the heat of the year-round sun in Nicaragua.
During the day you have time to explore the lively San Juan del Sur and the beaches around or have the time to do nothing at all. Come and join us and make these imaginary days reality.
Our principles:
- Connect with yourself
- Living consciously through yoga, food, and connection with your surroundings
- Taking care of the people and the environment in and around Eden

During this retreat, you will be staying in Eden on the Chocolata which is an eco-lodge in a beautiful garden on the road named La Chocolata. The luxury cabanas have been built to give you the experience of living among nature without compromising on your comforts.
Eden on the Chocolata believes in an ethical approach to all aspects of business and tread lightly on the environment, therefore it runs on solar power, and the glass, papers, and plastics are recycled. Inspired by nature, Eden has six 40-meter square private wooden cabanas.
Every cabana has its own king-size bed (or you can separate the bed into two single beds), mosquito net, fan, private bathroom, and balcony with a Nica-style hammock.
Eden will be your home away from home where you can get into the habit of doing yoga, being active, eating healthy, take the time to wind down, relax, and make new friends over family-style dinners.

Kelly De Beer

Show
Kelly and the staff are running the retreats from May 2021. After giving up a life as a tax advisor in Amsterdam, Kelly traveled the world with Remy to search for something more in life. A search, but no idea what she was searching for. A yoga teacher training, a reiki training, a Vipassana meditation course helped her find happiness by just be. When she stopped searching, a dream developed. A dream to create a place where she could share her passions for good food and yoga and where people can take the time to be conscious of their body, mind, and soul. That dream became reality at Eden.
Maija Klamer

Show
Maija Klamer is a 500-hour E-RYT yoga teacher, a natural life art coach and an ayurvedic massage therapist. The physical aspect of yoga is where Maija’s journey started, feeling drawn towards the practice of asana after years of dancing. From there she continued traveling deeper, opening her body-mind-heart to the more subtle layers of the Self. Inspired by the wisdom of tantra and ayurveda- the sister sciences of yoga- Maija shares practices and tools that will help you live a more healthy and fulfilling life.
Retreat location
This holiday will take place in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. Eden is located just outside of the colorful San Juan del Sur. San Juan del Sur is a small town located in a horseshoe bay with lots of restaurants and cafes.
From a peaceful home base in the countryside, you’re only a 10 minutes' drive or a 30 minutes' walk away from town. Experience the best of both worlds! Eden looks out over Nacascolo Bay, which is a 15 minutes' walk. It is a beautiful bay to walk around and relax.
