El Sol: A Queer Retreat for Connection, Joy & Transformation
Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. October 7–11th, 2026
Imagine waking up to the sound of ocean waves, sharing nourishing meals with a community that celebrates you exactly as you are, and spending your days immersed in movement, meditation, laughter, and meaningful connection.
El Sol, is more than a retreat from the expectations of daily life, it’s an opportunity to reconnect with your authentic self.
Created for LGBTQ+ individuals and welcoming allies, El Sol offers a space where all identities, expressions, and experiences are honored. Whether you arrive seeking rest, healing, friendship, inspiration, personal growth, or simply a few days to breathe deeply and be yourself, you will find a community ready to welcome you.
Together we will practice mindfulness, explore self-discovery, enjoy nourishing food, share meaningful conversations, and experience the beauty of Puerto Vallarta in a supportive and inclusive environment.
Come as you are. Leave feeling renewed, connected, and fully seen.
“Becoming Fully Seen”
Behind the masks, underneath the layers, who are you?
No two retreats are the same. El Sol brings together all identities of the queer spectrum and those who support the fluidity of gender, sex, and identity. Immerse yourself into this supportive community and explore a different side of you. Journey with us as we taste locally sourced artisan cuisine, detox the mind & body, and cleanse in the warm healing waters of Puerto Vallarta.

Coming Solo? You're Not Alone.
Many of our participants arrive without knowing anyone else. In fact, some of the strongest friendships from previous retreats began as conversations between strangers sharing a meal, a workshop, or a sunset moment. Whether you come alone, with a partner, or with friends, you'll be welcomed into a supportive community from the moment you arrive.

“A transformative experience where if you are open to authenticity and vulnerability, you will leave a more fulfilled person with a greater understanding of who you are and who you can be by committing to yourself and with the support of other like-minded caring souls.”
"I finally found a space where I could fully be myself."
“I am not alone with dealing with pain or sadness- needing to be understood and supported not matter who we are or where we are from. We all have things we are dealing with and sometimes sharing them with people who don't know you- who have no biases for you can be enlightening.”
“I felt the entire experience was professional, well organized and balanced. I was impressed with how flexible it was and yet with enough content and free time to enjoy the facility and get to know the other participants.”
