Five Days to Reset: The Yoga & Wellness Retreat You’ve Been Waiting For
October 1–5, 2026 | Villa Mary Sol, Nassau, Bahamas
Close your eyes for a moment. Imagine waking up — not to an alarm, not to the pressure of a to-do list — but to the sound of the ocean just outside your window. The warm Bahamian sun is already painting the water gold. Somewhere nearby, a mat is waiting for you. So is your breath, your stillness, and the version of yourself you’ve been meaning to get back to.
That’s not a fantasy. That’s October 1st at Villa Mary Sol.
A Retreat That’s Genuinely Different
There are wellness retreats, and then there are experiences that stay with you. This is the latter.
Hosted by Gina Keefe and Gill Violette, this intimate five-day retreat at Villa Mary Sol is designed for people who are ready to slow down, go deeper, and leave feeling genuinely restored — not just rested. It isn’t a packed schedule or a performance. It’s space. Intentional, beautiful, restorative space.
The group is small by design. That’s not a limitation — it’s the whole point. In an intimate setting, you’re not anonymous. You connect. You get real attention. You actually show up for yourself.
Where You’ll Be: Villa Mary Sol
Villa Mary Sol isn’t a resort. It’s something better — a stunning private home on the water in Nassau, Bahamas, tucked away from the crowds and designed for the kind of luxury that feels personal rather than polished.
Think:
- Your own private beach — step off the property and feel the sand under your feet
- A sparkling pool for afternoon lounging or early morning swims
- A fully equipped kitchen where nourishing meals come together each day
- High-speed internet and a full sound system — yes, even a wellness retreat has practical comforts
- Complete privacy — this is your space for five days, not a shared hotel lobby
Villa Mary Sol has been called Nassau’s best-kept luxury secret, and the name fits. It’s the kind of place you discover through someone who loves you enough to share it. Word travels slowly about spots this good — which means you’ll feel like you’ve stumbled onto something rare.
What Your Days Will Look Like
Every day is anchored around your wellbeing, with enough structure to feel held and enough freedom to actually breathe.
Morning: Start with daily yoga — all levels, all bodies, all welcome. Whether you’re a seasoned practitioner or you haven’t unrolled a mat in two years, there’s a place for you here. Gina and Gill meet you exactly where you are.
Daytime: Nourishing meals are prepared with care, giving you the fuel you need and the flavors of the Bahamas alongside. Between sessions, explore — hit the beach, grab a paddleboard, float in the pool, or simply sit still and let the sound of the water do its work. Local Nassau favorites are woven in throughout the week for those who want to taste a bit of island life beyond the villa walls.
Evening: Rest. Connect with the people around you. Let the day settle. There’s no hustle here.
This isn’t a bootcamp. It’s a reset. Five days to remember what it feels like to be in your body, present in your surroundings, and at ease in your own company.
Who This Retreat Is For
If any of these sound familiar, this is for you:
- You’ve been running on empty and you know it
- You keep saying “I need a real break” — and you mean it this time
- You’re curious about yoga but worried you’re “not flexible enough” (you don’t have to be)
- You want to travel somewhere genuinely beautiful with people who get it
- You’re ready to invest in yourself in a way that actually sticks
All levels are welcome. Gina and Gill have created a space where beginners feel safe and experienced practitioners feel challenged. You don’t need to arrive ready — you just need to arrive.
