Inspired by the Wanderlust Romance novel Tempest in Tulum, this 5-day immersive Reader's Retreat in Mexico’s Riviera Maya is for the woman who needs more than a vacation. She needs a main character moment. This retreat is your permission slip to put down the pressure and pick up your peace. To wake up slowly. To fall in love with yourself. To laugh like the book isn’t nearly better than real life.
Over 5 unforgettable days, you’ll:
- Tour ruins where our fictional lovers got to know each other (yes, really)
- Soak in turquoise cenotes, like a scene ripped from a Wanderlust chapter
- Dine under the stars and toast with fellow Black Romance readers
- Reconnect with your body in a class inspired by the heroine’s MMA training
- Lounge, laugh, and let go—with women who get it
This is a retreat written for us, by us. You bring the vibe. We’ll bring the setting.

We're going to have so much fun!
- The woman who reads black romance and wants to feel some for herself
- The reader who stays up late with her Kindle but craves connection in real life
- The woman who loves a good plot twist—and is ready for her own
- The soft life seeker, the healing heart, the introvert with extrovert dreams
- Anyone who said, “That book? Whew. I want that kind of joy.”
Arrive, exhale, and ease into joy. We'll meet at our welcome reception.
Visit the ancient ruins and sacred cenotes that inspired the romance in Tempest in Tulum.
Spend the day your way—poolside, spa, or reading your favorite romance book. Then get dressed up for a dreamy dinner at golden hour.
Join us for a heart-opening MMA-inspired class (á la Delia). Reflect, journal, and soak in your last full day.
Full heart. Full spirit. Packed and glowing.

At the time of check-in, you will need to be 21 years of age, and present a valid Government-issued ID and a major credit card. The credit card will be used to cover incidental resort charges such as any optional room service or other purchases within the resort, and would also be used in the event that damages occur to the room (or for example smoking in a non-smoking room).
