The Yoga Loft

Suzanna was a great yoga teacher each afternoon and Zach did a great morning routine. In between there was beach and rest time. I took kite boarding lessons with Ricardo right next to the hotel and it was a blast.

The food, staff and ambiance were awesome! Very tranquil and the rooms were comfortable as well.

Es war sehr familiär. Wir waren nur 5 gäste und man hat sich viel zeit genommen. Für jeden wurde eine passende aktivität gefunden. Ich kann dies jedem empfehlen, der die grossen masseb meiden möchte und wert auf seibe gesundheit und sein wohlbefinden legt.

As a physician trained in India and now practicing mind-body medicine in the US, I was thoroughly impressed by my recent week-long yoga retreat at the Yoga Loft Center, located overlooking Kite Beach on the northern coast of the Dominican Republic. Siva Segura's (@sivalearns) daily Yin yoga sessions were invaluable to my mind-body-spiritual needs. On the 5th day, I had a breakthrough moment that released decades of muscle tension. I plan to integrate these asanas regularly.

The Yoga Loft’s location allows participants to see and hear the gentle waves of ocean, enhancing the experience of reciting the Om sound and practicing Ujjayi breath work -both connected to ocean and its life. The healthy, delicious, nutrient-dense, mostly plant-based meals aligned well with the yoga practice. Morning ‘Flow 60’ fitness routines by Zach Scannapieco (@zachscannapieco), integrating Qigong, breath work, and meditation, perfectly complemented the daily yoga practice.

Above all, the real strength of the center lies in the values and down-to-earth nature of the people who run it - the owners, instructors, and dedicated staff. Other highlights include access to high-quality, professional massage therapy and various water activities, including lessons for beginners. Yoga Loft has something for everyone, regardless of your level of yoga practice. If you’re considering a yoga retreat in a magical location with scrumptious, healing food and a great team, book with the Yoga Loft. You won’t regret it!

Tasty healthy food. Beautiful beach with blue water and fun waves to play in.

This is my second time at this retreat. I really love the location right on the Cabarete kite beach. I had a room facing the ocean and could hear the waves at night calming and soothing. The hotel is very peaceful, not too many guests at a time and very interesting, international people. The yoga loft is so beautiful, with the open view of the ocean and nice breeze cooling you down as you practice. Yoga is yin style, meditative and strength building. There is also a gym class in the morning. Dinner is amazing with delicious vegetarian food cooked on premises and eaten as a family in a group including the Owner, Yoga teacher and Manager who are all super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is kept simple but nutritious. You can walk via the beach to local stores, restaurants and cafes. I took a trip to Sosua beach via local transportation, inexpensive and fun! The Manager also suggested a bike ride to a surfing beach and I enjoyed the trip. If you are looking for a peaceful, sunny yoga vacation, I highly recommend this lovely place. You will come back rested, sun-tanned and refreshed.

The happy staff and the relaxed atmosphere.

The hotel was very low key & relaxing. All of the guests & hosts quickly became friends & the fitness classes were on point. All of the food was communal. The vegetarian food was amazing, probably my favorite part of the resort. The town is a bit chaotic, but the resort was very relaxing & safe. I felt comfortable leaving my stuff out in the open for a few hours and was not worried that anything would be missing. The rooms are minimal, but that is kind of the point.

Hosts were very helpful and sympathic , we have our feet on the beach. Tremendous view of the sea and kite surfing

From the moment I arrived I felt welcomed and at home. The location is very beautiful right on the Cabarete beach. Quiet, well managed with a most beautiful yoga loft overlooking the ocean and great yoga classes twice a day.

Excellent food, nurturing settings and the Owner and Manager setting up dinner and chatting with quests every night.

Besides yoga there is a beautiful gym, swimming pool and secluded beach full of kites in windy conditions.

There is a bunch of very good restaurants within walking distance should you choose to go out as well as a city of Cabarete you can walk to via beach or rent a ride.

I came away rested, my yoga practice revived after pandemic inactivity and recharged with the beauty of the surroundings and the nurturing, supportive hospitality.

What a great active vacation!

This was an awesome place to stay! I was there for a week, we had yoga twice a day and Kiteboarding lessons every day, and the instructors were amazing!!!

They provided lunch and dinner every day and it was delicious and a huge portions! I needed to refuel! It was also all locally sources and super healthy food. They also had smoothies and fruit for us in the morning, which was perfect for breakfast for me.

We also had unlimited Kiteboarding lessons!!! The instructors were amazing! All local DR guys and they were great teachers. Me and my buddy were able to get into the water and up on boards on day 2!!!

The facilities were great, it's right on the beach, we ate looking over the water every day. There's a great pool, and an awesome yoga loft with incredible views of the ocean. Couldn't have asked for anything more.

The staff was so amazing too! They were so sweet and accommodating to anything we needed. Any issues were fixed right away. And they were just sweet people. They really have a heart for the DR and sustainability in their community. They know everyone in the community and are really building a great community down there. You can also see this in the farm they have, which is such an awesome way to live a sustainable life.

An amazing trip! Thank you!

The yoga lessons were good and held in a nice place, although I found out that the teacher (and I guess not only her...) is living here illegally which doesn't seem very sustainable given how the hotel is claiming to support local life etc...

Yoga teacher Harley was amazing and yoga classes in general were really nice and in the beautiful location.

Food was healthy in general.

Location is beautiful.

Beach is amazing.

High quality lilly pad suited to those who want to feed their soul.

I think her name was Caroline. She had a warm inviting and welcoming personality. Her knowledge was excellent. I also loved the cats that would visit us around the hotel!

All the staff were so friendly and awesome!! They know how to keep you busy throughout your stay and I made so many friends while staying here! Definitely check out Sousa beach and Cabarete! I wish I could have stayed longer!! Thank you for everything! The surf class was so much fun and the bootcamp instructor, Mel, is so sweet and really helps you target every area of your body and fitness goals. The yoga class was so relaxing as you hear the waves crashing and feel the ocean breeze against your skin. Don’t be afraid to ride on the motor taxi! It’s not scary at all!! Also if you like night life then Latin nights are a blast in cabarete!

The yoga classes best. The exercise sessions second.

The yoga loft is beautiful and it was amazing being right on the beach, seeing the sun set, and listening to the ocean waves during a yoga class. The room had what I needed. I didn't plan on being in the room much :) It was easy to get around and walk on the beach. The food was delicious and healthy. Also, as a solo traveling woman I was happy to find that I always felt safe, I went swimming, I made friends, and overall enjoyed my trip.

Delicious food, amazing yoga teacher, friendly environment, incredible location, may be the best trip I’ve ever taken

I had a great week there. All staff member was very kind, professionals and flexible. The food was amazing, yoga instructors amazing and aerial classes super fun and Sarah was the best teacher ever :)

Chrissy, the yoga instructor, is excellent ... beautiful flows with a lovely view of the ocean. The activities that were included also exceeded my expectations. The farm tour with the tubing along the river was fun with divine scenery. The SUP YOGA was in a magnificent spot as well. The surfing was great for beginners and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Our group was amazing! I would definitely return !

Very friendly staff! It was the first time I visited Cabarete, yet I felt safe and at home right away. The food (breakfast and dinner) is of amazing quality (with organic and gluten free options) so props to the wonderful chef for the wonderful menu👍🏼 The daily yoga practices were all wonderful yet challenging! There are also many activities such as kite surfing, trapeze etc on site (which I will definitely try the next time I visit Extreme Hotel). The tour to the organic farm and river tubing exceeded my expectations. I’ve had soo much fun on my birthday visiting Taino’s Farm and River Yasica. If you like adventure and great sceneries; You should definitely try this one out. I had such a wonderful experience that I did not want to leave 😩 thanks Robin, Vikki and Gabby for a wonderful retreat!💕🙏🏼

Classes and instructors were all fantastic. Can’t beat the facilities. My package was perfect - it included meals, two yoga classes per day, an excursion and the schedule itself allowed plenty of time to explore Cabarete on your own.

This place was amazing. The yoga loft was perfect, the food was delicious, and you can’t beat the location. We did a different tour of the country each day and most of the time made it back in time for evening yoga class. Definitely coming back ASAP!

I loved all parts of this experience. The yoga, the food, the farm, the tubing, the smoothies, the pool, the badass chicks who worked there (Also the dudes) and watching the kiteboarders. I didn't get a chance to check out the circus classes, wish I had more fun tickets to use that trip, it's a must for my next visit.

I also liked that the entrance to the rooms were gated and how friendly everyone was. I need to work on my Spanish skills, but this place is amazing. I'll be back to the DR soon.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this whole experience. Absolutely magical from start to finish. My only warning: bring good noise-cancelling headphones or earplugs for the nights, as sometimes the traffic on the nearby road can be a bit noisy.

Great food, loved the gym workouts & really enjoyed the program in general

Molly is a great yoga teacher and a wonderful person. The Yoga Loft just the perfect spot with a fabulous sea view

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The environment was friendly. I met many interesting people and enjoyed hanging out with them at the "hotel's restaurant." It was a casual and inviting atmosphere.

This was my first solo travel so I was a little anxious about it. However, at the Extreme Hotel you feel truly welcome and relaxed. Everyone is very friendly and the environment is conducive to interaction.

I booked just one week but would loved to have stayed at least one more week. I can't wait to go back. It's not a tourist environment, very chill and unpretentious.
