Reconnect to your Inner Self at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa, Aruba.
For many people, vacation is a time to forget about your usual responsibilities. Simply relax beside the Caribbean Sea on a breathtaking stretch of beach. Hear the waves, feel the northeast passat and enjoy the lovely sunset.
The moment you enter Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa a sense of tranquility and well being embraces you. Our intimate resort is well known for the peace and quietness guests often long for during their holiday. Guests can relax, let loose and liberate themselves from their daily life routine.
Next to our outdoor Caribbean-Balinese Spa we offer our guests an unique opportunity to reconnect to themselves in Aruba.
Together with Prana, a center for Health, Yoga & Training, we make this possible. Every Thursday morning from 8:00 a.m. till 9:00 a.m. Ellen, a seasoned yoga practitioner and teacher or one of her Prana colleagues lead a yoga class on our beach surrounded by palm trees.
Originally from Holland, Ellen has lived on Aruba for over 10 years. She first became familiar with yoga while traveling through Asia where she discovered the unique science of re-establishing the connection between the body, mind and soul. Having practiced yoga for over 28 years already, Ellen developed an integrated yoga style where Tibetan, Egypt and Dru yoga come together. Five years ago she opened her own ‘Health & Yoga Training Center Prana’ and it is becoming more and more popular under Aruba’s residents and visitors.
The sessions on the beach at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa present Hatha Yoga, which entails special breathing techniques and light meditation. The purpose of this class is to balance the body and mind in order to enjoy greater well being.
I recently attended one of Prana’s classes, anxious to experience the science of yoga. We slowly began to stretch our arms, neck and legs and focused on our breathing. After warming up, we started with several standing postures and from that point we proceeded our postures gradually to the ground. When we relaxed into the different postures, we learned to focus on our body, mind, breathing and to feel connected to the ground. I truly experienced staying connected to the present moment and not let my mind analyzing about my work or what my planning will be for the day. When the class finished I needed some time before standing up, because I never experienced such calmness in my body, mind and heart. Prana’s yoga classes at Manchebo Beach Resort are the classes you have always been looking for.
Together with Prana we try to develop more health activities to offer the best service for our guests.
Reconnect to your inner self at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa.
Every Thursday
8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m.
Free of charge for guests at Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa and of Spa del Sol

Gold Green Globe certified hotel Manchebo preserves a safe and healthy environment for the Island of Aruba!
The intimate Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa located on Eagle Beach, the most beautiful white beach and turquoise Blue Ocean of Aruba, promises to follow the Green Globe 21 Company Standards and the laws, regulations and standards of Aruba.
The resort is a “Gold Green Globe” certified hotel, which is a certificate in recognition of their efforts to deliver continuous environmental improvements and to secure a sustainable future for the business. Manchebo also gives preference to, wherever possible, employing local people and purchasing local products and services with minimal negative environmental impact.
To prevent and control pollution Manchebo reduces, reuses & recycles throughout the property and by educating our staff, guests, suppliers and community we want to build environmental awareness and action.
Every third Wednesday of the month Manchebo invites its employees and guests to participate in the ‘Sponsor a Mile’ program to keep Aruba clean. For one hour the participants voluntary clean up the beach, parking lot and the street. Garbage bags full of cigarettes, plastics and even pieces of glass are collected after each clean up.
Beside the clean-ups, Manchebo protects hatching turtles by turning off the lights, not driving or littering on the beach, leaving vegetation in place and by not approaching the animals.
Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa also demonstrates its involvement with activities concerning many sections of the local community by organizing a yearly mother’s day brunch for the elderly, raising funds for the construction of a new center for the blinds, helping an orphanage home with a transportation van and more charity donations and funds raising.
With Teamwork, Commitment and Enthusiasm Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa preserves a safe and healthy environment for the Island of Aruba, its people and visiting guests!
