Your accommodation for this yoga retreat is at Zen Cabarete (the old eXtreme hotel) where The Yoga Loft is located. Zen Cabarete is a leading ecologically sustainable hotel in the Caribbean, situated directly on Kite Beach, Cabarete. This adventure sports and fitness hotel offers various facilities, including a kiteboarding school, fitness center, yoga loft, massage space, beachside restaurant, and a swimming pool. Designed to be eco-friendly, the hotel minimizes its ecological footprint with natural ventilation systems, tiled floors to keep cool, and low-energy fans. Green vegetation throughout the hotel also helps to naturally cool the air during the summer months.
As an eco-friendly hotel, Zen Cabarete offers comfortable, environmentally conscious rooms without unnecessary amenities such as televisions and air-conditioning systems. Each room has a balcony that allows natural light, a 52-inch ceiling fan for ventilation, a mini-fridge, mosquito screens, a private bathroom, and a 5-gallon jug of drinking water. All rooms are solar-powered, so please remember to conserve energy whenever possible. These functional rooms are ideal for active guests, so be sure to bring your own toiletries, a beach towel, and a refillable water bottle.
The hotel provides two free Wi-Fi access points, allowing you to stay connected and get work done if needed. However, consider your stay an opportunity for a digital detox, soaking up the sun, and participating in energy-infused, nature-oriented health and fitness activities. Guests at Zen Cabarete become part of a welcoming community, with a majority of Dominican staff offering opportunities to interact with locals and practice Spanish.
Although Zen Cabarete has a large property, they only accept a limited number of guests to ensure a relaxing and chill environment. It's the ideal setting for those looking to work remotely while enjoying an active, eco-friendly lifestyle.

Only 20 kilometers from Puerto Plata International Airport, Cabarete is easily accessible with daily international flights. The town, nestled between a stunning semi-circular beach and El Choco National Park, offers year-round trade winds, glassy waves, and lush tropical rainforests, attracting a diverse and active crowd.
Cabarete's center is a 5-minute ride from the hotel, featuring international restaurants, bars, live music, and a variety of healthy food options. The local fruit stand offers fresh produce at unbeatable prices. For just 1 USD, you can grab a moto to nearby vegan restaurants or walk along the beach for fresh seafood.
Cabarete is renowned for kitesurfing and world-class surf breaks, but it also offers windsurfing, stand-up paddleboarding, body surfing, canyoning, river tubing, and mountain biking. Many instructors are Dominican locals, providing an opportunity to learn about the culture.
Dominican culture is vibrant and social, with music and dance playing significant roles. Popular styles include merengue, bachata, and salsa.

Food
What you eat is a huge priority, and it shows.
Guests rave about the meals, and they are proud of the menu they've created.
All the meals are prepared daily from scratch - with much of the produce grown in one of the sister farms. Healthy, nutrient dense and delicious, it's available all day long.
The Yoga Loft prioritizes sustainability and local sourcing.
Anything they don't produce is sourced locally and they know the source.
The menu is the culmination of years of involvement with the local farming community.
Much of the produce comes from Taino Organic Farm, located just 20 minutes away. They also source from community farms higher in the mountains, where the cooler temperatures allow for more variety. The supplier farms follow permaculture principles, without pesticides, and are grown with care for the local environment.
The menu provides nutrient-dense ingredients for maximum nutrition. Every meal has 20 grams or vegetable protein. There is food available all day. You'll come together for dinner at 6:30 daily and serve what's been made fresh that day by their loving staff.
Find out more about the farming practices by visiting the farm on a farm tour! They will proudly take you.
