What are SoMos Retreats®?
Our Retreats were dreamed up in 2020 by a SoLo Mother for SoLo Parent families. In 2026 we opened up to all families and in 2027 we are adding Womens Retreats to our repertoire.
SoMos creates high end, Boutique style, personalized Retreats for women & families at a price that’s within reach.
SoMos FaMily Retreats:
At SoMos Retreats® we know that parenting is both beautiful and exhausting. That’s why we have created an experience where families can truly take a break without having to worry about the logistics OR the stress of planning a vacation.
Traveling with children in a place you’re not familiar with can be overwhelming. You want to show them the world but lets face it - you need a break too and could do with a little down time of your own while you’re on vacation. We also know that you worry about Safety.
That’s where we come in. Our mission is to ensure that the needs of both the parent and the child are met so that you can all enjoy the vacation that you deserve.
Our Retreats offer the perfect balance: time to recharge on your own as well as meaningful experiences to create memories with your children. OaXaca is an incredibly safe place to bring your children. It’s also incredibly welcoming and family friendly.
During your stay you can expect a concierge like service in our private WhatsApp group. We can help you with dinner recommendations, reservations, suggestions for fully loaded activities and support for anything you need assistance with during your stay.
It takes a village and at SoMos we make sure that your vacation includes one.
SoMos WoMens Retreats:
For five years, I’ve mastered the art of the family retreat. SoMos has navigated the energy, the needs, and the beautiful complexity of hosting groups of all ages from age 6 months and up.
As my own children get older I’ve fostered a desire to add a different experience to our offerings. One that leaves the children out of the equation and caters to all women of all ages. One that gives our guests a place to exhale, rejuvenate and simply be.
Before I had children I was an adventurous SoLo FeMale traveler. I spent years wandering the globe on my own looking for unique stories. There is a huge need for safe, welcoming, connective experiences for WoMen, led by women, tapping into the healing powers held by so many in this beautiful part of the world.
SoMos WoMens Retreats will provide a sanctuary designed exclusively for women (or anyone who identifies as woman.) Relaxation, no schedule to manage, no mental load to carry… a reset in the beautiful SoMos CaSa enjoying all that Oaxaca has to offer.
Hosted in Oaxaca
Oaxaca is a place that will stay with you long after you leave. It is a city alive with color - from the vibrantly colored buildings to the flowers which are in bloom year round. It’s encircled by mountains which are lush and green in the rainy season or dappled with the purples from the Jacarandas during the Spring.
Art is everywhere. In the stores and on the streets. You’ll see a lot of political street art which tells the story of the people and often gives commentary on world wide events.
Oaxaca is also incredibly progressive. It’s one of the few places in the world that officially recognizes a third gender (the Muxe people) and celebrates them as part of its rich cultural tapestry. Same-sex marriage is legal here (2019), as is abortion (since 2017.) You can feel the open heartedness of the people as you move through the city.
The climate in Oaxaca is dreamy year round. Warm days and cool nights. The rainy season brings afternoon showers and late night storms which freshen the air and nourishes the vegetation causing an explosion of natural colors.
Oaxaca is always celebrating something. You can see weddings at the Santa Domingo Cathedral every weekend with monos de calenda depicting the bride and groom twirling in the square. Random Calendas - colorful parades of dancers, brass bands, and giant puppets can be seen on almost a daily basis!
Children are treasured. Many parks come alive at night with activities for children - from bouncing balloons to electric cars, candy floss, street treats and more!
Oaxaca is famous for it’s incredible food. With many Michelin star rated restaurants as well as hundreds of small, equally delicious family run establishments - you’ll never have to go far to find something delicious, local and fresh to satiate your appetite.
A Calenda - traditional clothing, dance and music. A very common scene on the streets of Oaxaca
Curated Street art. These lovers are typical of the kind of art you see on the streets of Xochimilco & Jalatlaco.
Professional grafitti is a common sight. Often political in nature - showcasing domestic and foreign causes. Some of the pieces even go viral!
Even the food is colorful. Our street food tour will show you the most delicious typical dishes from the region.
During Dia de Muertos shops and homes decorate their doorways and reception rooms with Catrinas, paper mache calaveras and altars.
