Experience and enjoy a Caribbean Yoga Vacation from August 7 – 14, 2010 at the intimate Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa

Our resort is well known for the peace and quietness guests often long for during their holiday. Guests can relax, rejuvenate and liberate themselves from their daily life routine. Manchebo is home of the exotic outdoor Caribbean-Balinese Spa del Sol where we offer our guests a unique opportunity to reconnect a variety of spa treatments.

For many people, vacation is a time to forget about your usual responsibilities. With this in mind we created a perfect vacation where wellness and relaxation come together. Our first Yoga Vacation in June 2010 was a big success! With a group of 8 guests we had a wonderful relaxing week including delicious yoga classes overlooking the beach, culinary get-togethers and fun island tours. You can check out the photos of our Yoga Vacation by clicking on the following link.
