New Nature-immersed Yoga Deck Debuts, Expands Comprehensive Wellness Program at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort for Guests and Locals

Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, Aruba’s premier adults-only resort, has unveiled its latest wellness feature: a serene yoga deck nestled in a courtyard adorned with indigenous plants and trees. Overlooking the resort’s prized stretch of Eagle Beach, affectionately known as one of the “Dream Beaches of the World,” this new space offers an inspiring backdrop for both guests and locals to embrace a holistic approach to health and mindfulness.

A fitting debut centered on rejuvenation

The new yoga deck debuted on Jan. 3, 2025. Holistic wellness instructor Andrea Herrera led the group of 13 participants. She began by having the mix of resort guests and locals, alike, spend a moment to set intentions for themselves as they enter 2025 and as the first to practice in this new yoga haven. With desires set, Andrea then led the group into deep relaxation beginning with breathwork and the pure tones of singing bowls. Next, the group eased into gentle, yin poses, flowing through a rejuvenating session before Andrea seamlessly guided the inaugural participants through sound healing.

Sound healing therapy is an ancient practice using sound vibrations to promote relaxation, healing, and a deeper state of consciousness. Herrera immersed the group into soothing sounds from singing bowls, letting them experience reduced stress, improved emotional well-being and a profound sense of balance and peace.

 Nestled in nature

Bucuti & Tara’s extensive commitment to protecting and celebrating Aruba’s nature extends to the new yoga deck. The courtyard location surrounds the new space with vibrantly green native plants including the first-tree ever planted by the resort-co-founded island reforestation nonprofit Ban Lanta y Planta. The open-air space allows gentle breezes to flow while a roof and bamboo shade guests from sun and create serene privacy.

Meeting guests along their journeys

The new yoga deck offers a full menu of classes tailored to all levels of practice. From invigorating sunrise yoga sessions to calming evening meditations, from exhilarating antigravity aerial yoga to Pilates and cocooning, and from breathwork to sound healing and many more experiences, the schedule is designed to cater to diverse wellness needs. Both private sessions and classes are led by certified instructors who emphasize mindfulness, balance and physical well-being. Well before arriving to Aruba, resort guests can enjoy planning their wellness experiences including the new yoga deck offerings by working with their personal concierge, registering online or by emailing the resort’s certified wellness instructors at wellness@bucuti.com.

Expanding Bucuti & Tara’s wellness program

The yoga deck represents a significant expansion of Bucuti & Tara’s comprehensive wellness program. Known for its innovative offerings that promote a balanced and healthy lifestyle, the resort’s wellness initiatives include next-generation fitness facilities, personalized nutrition counseling, tailored itineraries connecting guests with Aruba’s top wellness experts, and spa treatments that integrate natural, eco-friendly ingredients. The new yoga deck enhances these offerings by providing a tranquil outdoor space where guests and locals can connect with nature while engaging in practices that nurture the mind, body and spirit.

The yoga deck seamlessly ties into Bucuti & Tara’s three cornerstones: romance, wellness, and sustainability. Couples can elect for private sessions. The blending of nature and the new deck enhances the restorative experience for participants. As home to the Caribbean’s first and only certified carbon-neutral hotel, the deck’s location and eco-design also further preserve Aruba’s ecosystem.
