The Tempest In Tulum Experience
March 25 - 29, 2026
ABOUT THE TRIP
A retreat where fiction meets your real-life main character glow-up...
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.
📍 March 25–29, 2026 | Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya
Private rooms + double occupancy available. Solo travelers are welcomed and matched with care.
