About your trip

Escape to the colorful shores and crystal - clear waters of Curaçao for a women-only getaway that’s equal parts movement, sunshine, and pure joy. This intimate girls’ trip is all about great workouts, great company, and plenty of laughs - whether you’re traveling with your daughter, sister, life-long friend, or coming solo ready to meet your next bestie. Think energizing days, easygoing evenings, and the kind of memories that only happen when women come together in a beautiful place with zero pressure and all the good vibes. It’s a reset that feels more like a vacation - and exactly what your future self will thank you for.

Why Curaçao?

Because it’s the kind of place that makes you instantly exhale. Curaçao blends laid-back island energy with colorful European charm, crystal-clear turquoise water, and sunshine that feels tailor-made for morning Pilates and barefoot afternoons. It’s vibrant without being chaotic, luxurious without being stuffy—perfect for a girls trip that balances movement, rest, laughter, and adventure. Think ocean swims between sessions, long dinners with your favorite women, and just enough exploring to feel inspired without ever feeling rushed. Curaçao is effortless, joyful, and exactly the vibe we want for our next Pilates escape.

Activities & Experiences

Our days are designed to flow effortlessly between movement, relaxation, and adventure. Mornings begin with daily mat Pilates on a pier overlooking the water. We’ll also head offsite for two reformer Pilates classes in a stunning local studio. During downtime, enjoy everything our beachfront home base has to offer: two private beaches, a beautiful house reef, an infinity pool, spa access, additional mat Pilates and yoga classes taught by talented local instructors, and complimentary snorkeling gear and stand-up paddleboards. Midweek, we’ll venture out for an ultra-exclusive private beach day at Baoase Luxury Resort, consistently ranked as the number one resort in the Caribbean. Tucked away and impossibly serene, this hidden-paradise beach experience is all about total privacy and indulgence—sun loungers, attentive beach butler service, curated bites, and uninterrupted ocean views. We’ll end the week with a private boat charter for snorkeling and coastal exploring. Optional add-ons, such as a sunrise hike or an introduction to kiteboarding, are available for those craving a little extra adventure.

Where We’re Staying

Our home base for the week is The Avila Beach Hotel, a historic beachfront property known for its authentic soul, excellent facilities, and prime central location. As the oldest operational hotel in Curaçao, Avila offers a unique blend of island history and modern comfort, with two private beaches featuring calm waters for snorkeling, an infinity pool, spa services, multiple on-site restaurants, and live music. One of Avila’s greatest perks is its walkable location - situated just outside the UNESCO-listed city center and a 15-minute stroll to the vibrant Pietermaai neighborhood. This lively district is filled with colorful historic buildings, cafés, cocktail bars, and restaurants, making it easy to explore on foot. A complimentary hotel shuttle to downtown runs twice daily for added ease. Our group will be staying in Avila’s newest Beachfront Apartments—spacious, modern two-bedroom residences with covered patios overlooking the Caribbean Sea, Daily breakfast and two beachfront group dinners are included, creating a relaxed, connected home base for the week.
