SOUND BATH & TRANSITIONAL LIGHT THERAPY
If you're more into alternative healing treatments or are just looking for something new to try, Venaolife has got you covered. Sound bath meditation is an extra sensorial healing experience where those in attendance are “bathed” in sound waves that give an internal massage to your organs. The sounds are produced by various sources, including instruments such as gongs, chimes, etc. At the same time you will experience the transitional light machine that mimics daylight through LEDs, affecting positively the pineal gland and the circadian rhythm.

REGRESSION CIRCLE
Regression Therapy is a type of hypnosis session in which the therapist can guide you to moments of your past in this or other lives. By reconnection to past events, the root cause of phobias, issues, concerns, and more can be found. By seeing it from another perspective, healing can be achieved. Some people come to this session without a specific theme to work on, but with curiosity to se what they can learn from their past and bring into the present.
FISHING
This half day trip is one that never fails. During the month of october you can expect to find Tuna, Sierra and Dorado in the ocean which will be prepared and served ceviche for your immediate enjoyment. The experience is for a max of six (6) people. It would leave directly from Venao and will have a duration of approximately 5 hours starting at 7 am. The amount of hours can be reduced if required. As this is one of the most sought after activities in Playa Venao, reservations in advance are highly recommended.
WATERFALL BREATHWORK & MEDITATION
La Cascada Trail, is a 20 minute walk good for beginners and ideal for a relaxing time in nature. You will walk through Eco Venao, a reforestation “resort” that has planted 25,000 trees on 30+ hectares of land in the last 13 years, encountering different types of trees along the hike including the Royal Palm, Jagua, Espavé, and the Panama Tree, among others. Once you reach the waterfall a beautiful guided meditation will allow you to deepen this relaxing experience. Take a moment to dip in the water and let the naturally soothing sounds cascade over you. Keep following the trail all the way up to the top where you’ll likely pass some howler monkeys and finish with a beautiful view of Venao.
MANGROVE JOURNEY
Besides the beach in Venao you will find an intriguing world of mangroves, wetlands and estuaries with an interesting bird and marine life. Enjoy your leisurely wander around the channels discovering hidden spots. If you decide to head out at dawn or for the afternoon sundown and cruise gently across the serene waterways, be it on kayak or Stand Up paddle, you will be surrounded by amazing river forest vegetation and many miles of pristine dense mangroves. Set up an appointment with time to make sure you are able to see this ecological wonderland. The best time to go is during high tide.
INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES
YOGA
If your experience with yoga has led you nowhere maybe its time you try some private classes in the beautiful ocean front yoga dome that Villa Marina has to offer. Any type of yoga can be coordinated whether you want a solo class or one coordinated for the interested members of the group. We invite you to move a bit with a slow, mindful flow that will leave you relaxed and unwinded for the day, or try a more fast paced heart racing and burning yoga. Whatever you fancy yoga wise, we can surely provide it and arrange it for you.
SURFING

Whether you are a skilled surfer or a beginner with heart, we will make sure to pair you with the best option for your surfing needs. For the weekend we can coordinate board rentals and class packages for you to leave even better than when you arrived. We will recommend the best surf spots for your level and rest assured there will be fun to be had with this sport in Venao. It is the go to activity to see and be seen!
MASSAGE

Let us remedy that by choosing your favorite massage option to relax any sore muscles and get you good and ready for the return back home. You just need to sit back and enjoy getting pampered by the best hands of the beach. Let us know what you like in terms of technique and strength and we will organize for you some blissful moments of joy for your body and soul.
HORSEBACK RIDE
Riding a horse along a pristine beach, waves lapping at its feet, wind blowing through your hair, beautiful views in every direction? It’s a scene from the movies – or your dreams. You will want more after living a ride inside the rainforest, galloping on the beach and watching the breathtaking views of the Venao landscape. Horses are tamed for all levels and personalities and the good news for riders is that beach horseback riding requires such well-trained horses that it is open to beginner riders. Don´t think about it twice. There is something exhilarating and new about this experience that definitely presents a different way of getting to know Venao.
