Debbie Kickham, a luxury travel writer, dedicated most of her latest story in Forbes on Bucuti & Tara’s sweeping yoga offerings and our approach of supporting it with a comprehensive approach to your wellness journey.
Kickham drew in readers with, “But for a crème de la crème experience — and for something completely different — you just may want to visit Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort – a Four-Diamond award-winner, and an adults-only posh property that usually has a 97% occupancy, it is so popular."
As a proud Forbes Travel Guide Recommended resort, yoga is one of the many unrivaled experiences for Bucuti & Tara guests.
Bucuti & Tara is synonymous with serenity, laidback luxury, romance and wellness. According to Kichham and her Forbes article, "Bucuti & Tara offers an all-encompassing wellness program and is led by certified wellness specialists. A key differentiator for Bucuti & Tara's approach is that it connects guests with only the very best wellness professionals in each specialty that are available in Aruba." This personal touch begins long before guests arrive, as their wellness concierge starts curating an itinerary to ensure every detail is taken care of. The itinerary spans nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, and more, leaving guests to do as much or as little as they wish, tailoring their stay to perfection.”
Meeting each of our guests along their own continuum of wellness is an honor we hold tightly. When it comes to yoga, we offer experiences at every level, on land, at sea and even in the air!
Yoga on the Beach is one of our complimentary wellness activities. Every Tuesday, guests can partake in a session led by experienced instructors as they watch the sun begin its day over the tranquil waters of Eagle Beach.
Vinyasa, Yin and Ashtanga are available for those wanting a more tailored experience through private lessons.
Full Moon Yoga is a 60-minute twilight session held during each full moon. Situated directly on the pristine sands of Eagle Beach, participants are surrounded by the gentle sound of waves and a starlit sky. This special session combines yoga with guided meditation, helping participants release anything that no longer serves them, and focus on setting positive intentions for the coming month. As the Forbes article notes, the setting is "serene, placing guests in the heart of nature: quiet beach, soft waves, moonlight, and brilliant night sky.”
Cocooning Mediation & Antigravity Yoga is for those seeking a more adventurous form of yoga. This unforgettable experience is set in the resort’s Wellness Hut or a private setting, and uses hammocks to provide a unique sensation of weightlessness. It’s perfect for decompression, allowing the spine to stretch in ways that traditional yoga can’t achieve. The hammock allows guests to try new positions, increasing flexibility and balance while connecting the mind with the body.
SUP Yoga (Stand-Up Paddleboard Yoga) brings together the best of both worlds for water-loving yogis. Practicing yoga on a paddleboard introduces a fun challenge, adding an element of balance and harmony with the Caribbean Sea.
Wine Down Yoga opens with a gentle flow session and is then paired with a glass of wine at sunset. A must for couples looking to enhance their romantic experience.
Guests can sign up for yoga experiences with their personal concierge as soon as they make their vacation reservations, can email our dedicated wellness specialists, or can complete and submit this pre-arrival itinerary planning.
In 2024, Bucuti & Tara debuted new wellness packages that can include yoga as part of the broader wellness itinerary. These packages are designed to elevate guests' overall well-being during their stay, allowing them to integrate yoga into a more comprehensive wellness plan. This reflects the resort’s ongoing commitment to providing a holistic experience that rejuvenates the body while nurturing the mind and soul. The new wellness packages are easy add-ons to your overnight reservations.
Additionally, the resort is introducing a brand-new yoga deck in early December 2024. It will be nestled in the courtyard adorned with native plants and overlooking Bucuti & Tara’s wide stretch along Eagle Beach, affectionately known as one of the “Dream Beaches of the World.”. This serene space will further elevate the resort’s yoga offerings, providing guests a peaceful setting to connect with nature and deepen their yoga and mindfulness practice.
Bucuti & Tara dedication to constantly elevating our guests’ experiences is embodied throughout every aspect of the resort experience. As highlighted in Forbes, we’re proud to go far beyond typical resort offerings. When you’re ready to experience yoga at Bucuti & Tara, we look forward to helping it be a transformative one that long inspires you.
