Romchella is our annual women’s retreat, created for romance readers, soft-life seekers, and the women who carry everyone else’s storyline on their shoulders. Every year Romchella shifts, grows, and becomes even more magical. In 2026, we’re taking it international to a dreamy island villa in Akumal, Mexico, where the days feel slow, the sun feels warm, and connection comes easily. Romchella isn’t a “work on yourself” retreat. It’s a reminder of who you’ve always been.

WHAT IS ROMCHELLA?

**You deserve an escape and this is the Island Retreat of a Lifetime.**

But don’t take our word for it…

Listen to the women who turned a bookish girls trip into the highlight of their year. Most of our alumni return again and again, because Romchella is a once-you-come-you-know situation. 💕

WHAT’S INCLUDED?

Your Romchella 2026 package includes:

🌮 Daily meals from our private chef
🍹 Optional alcohol add-on package
🏊‍♀️ Four pools — pick your daily aesthetic
🌅 Rooftop sunsets straight out of a romance cover
🏝 Beach adventures (tropical heroine moment)
🔥 Spicy book chats + trope debates
📸 Romance-cover-style photos
🎁 Bookish swag + welcome gifts
💋 Deep, real, soul-level girl talk
💕 A sisterhood you’ll take home with you

You’re not just escaping reality….you’re entering a new chapter.

THIS YEAR’S VIBE

Chaos. Softness. Delusion. Liberation.

2026 is giving tropical feral-girl energy, sun-dazed, sand-dusted, and laughing way too loud with book besties you just met but would already hide a body for. It’s poolside gossip, spicy plot twist debates, and the kind of joy that only hits when you finally stop being the responsible one.

If your Kindle’s 90% smut, your group chat’s silent, and you’re one bad day from fleeing to an island… this is your sign.

You deserve a week of soft life, sun-kissed chaos, and sisterhood that gets a little too honest after 9PM. Welcome to your be-hot-and-do-nothing era.
