Poipu Beach KAUAI - One of a kind, restorative, transformation quest.

This retreat promises a unique experience and travel off the beaten path into the unspoiled, lush beach/mountain setting of Kauai. Designed for wellness enthusiasts, this 6-day/5-night retreat will include a variety of activities all accessed daily from the resort, to re-energize you physically and mentally, including a cultural & nutritional cooking class, art, beach walks, a nature hike, Pilates sessions, paddle boarding for beginners on the Hanalei River, group coaching and meditation.

This rejuventating getaway, will entice you with deep rest, a healthy fresh start to each day with a local cold pressed organic juice, exquisite farm fresh local produce, island culture immersion, connections with kindred spirits and beach activity options all surrounded by the stunning natural beauty of Kauai. The meditation/yoga, hiking, and stand up paddle board activities will all be optional participation.

Kauai is truly a natural wonder, home to the wettest place on Earth (Mount Waialeale), the "Grand Canyon of the Pacific" (Waimea Canyon), and a host of other eye-popping spectacles, brought to you courtesy of Mother Nature. Of course, Kauai also happens to earn the distinction of being home to one of the world's top 10 rated beaches - Poipu, a series of three white crescents curving beside turquoise waters along the island's south coast.

Kiahuna Plantation Resort offers charming, cottage-style vacation condos that are situated on 35 acres of verdant lawns that reach out to the sands of the Poipu beach. The lush property is dotted with cactus and orchid gardens that surround the comfortable, breeze-cooled condominiums. In addition to the included activities of the retreat guests staying at the resort may enjoy tennis courts, a swimming pool, surf lessons on beach and convenient dining.

Several day trips will take participants on scenic journeys to the north shore of Hanalei Bay where we will enjoy one day of ocean (surfing) or calm river (beginner SUP) lessons. While another journey delivers us to the Koke’e State Park for easy scenic hiking for all levels, closing the day with a stop at a local street art fair for shopping and dinner on the way back to the resort.

Volo Escapes is thrilled to announce new talent, Regina Santos, as co-leader of this incredible retreat. Regina is a movement specialist and behavioral change coach who bases her comprehensive service offerings on the ideology of “getting centered”, often found in the Pilates method. She helps people get strong & mobile, rehabilitate injury, mitigate pain and minimize stress by teaching them to increase core awareness and integration using the classical Pilates method. Furthermore, she coaches people to optimize the core connections in their minds (and even spirits!) so they can create more fulfillment in their personal and/or professional lives.

A UCLA Graduate, Regina boldy left a successful executive career over twelve years ago, and has since earned credentials from Pilates Technique, the National Academy of Sports Medicine, the International Coach Federation, the Coaches Training International, and is also a Yoga Tune Up® Practitioner. She has taught over 1500 group mat Pilates classes alone, and today, you might find her having fun leading group mat Pilates and barre classes at Equinox Fitness Clubs and Spas. She also enjoys concerts and hiking with her dog. Regina loves cooking so much that she published a cookbook of healthy snacks and entrees under her lifestyle concept, Running in Heels®.

Travel Tips:

Flights & Airport Shuttle:

There are several recommended flights direct to Kauai (LIH) from LAX. Arrival airport pick up shuttles will be offered at two times on 5/21. It is a 20 minute drive to the resort.

The departure shuttle from the resort will be at the airport by 8:45 am on 5/26, so you can plan your flights accordingly. This will put participants at the airport in time for several late morning flights. **Harmony is the shuttle driver, so don’t stress over a little flexibility in arrival or departure time of the shuttle. We will collect flight itineraries from all participants and adjust accordingly. Use those times as your booking guides.

If you would like to add-on an extra day or two on the front end of tail end of the retreat, you are more than welcome to do this. We can extend our discounted rate at the resort. Shuttle service will not be included other than on 5/21 or 5/26, however we can assist in making arrangements for you.
