Announcing the Sirenalia Mermaid Retreat!!

[Firemaid]

We are so excited to announce the Sirenalia Mermaid Retreat!!

For the last two years, Sirenalia has packed our mermaid tails up & spent the winter on our favorite secret Caribbean island enjoying tropical yoga, frozen adult beverages, and underwater adventures with rays and sharks and giant sea turtles in a gorgeous barrier reef. It's always a super amazing trip, and this year we are inviting along other mermaids!!


We have arranged a full-blown all-inclusive mermaid vacation!
Hotels, yoga and most meals are included!

We have a professional underwater photographer on staff, and we will be offering a full mermaid experience: together we will practice tail-swimming, breath holds, and underwater posing in some of the clearest, most beautiful waters you can imagine.


This small Belizean island has unique, beautiful mermaid traditions, and we will be making a special appearance at the local elementary school to blow some little kids' minds!


We're well-versed and know our way around really well and we are excited to share this island with other mermaids!!


We'd love to have you come with us! We know it's a little late this year, but will be posting pics and stories about this year's trip as kind of a teaser for future trips. We hope you enjoy them and join us soon!

that sounds awesome! Would love to join...but ya know...making a tail and all is expensive lol and I'd have no money left over for a trip like this haha

[Miyu]

Awesome! When will it be, and how much will it cost?

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

Just a shame I don't have the cash :( Otherwise I would seriously consider it hopefully will be able too in the future :) Am trying to save for my own tail but don't have much yet towards it plus only discovered this can happen a few weeks ago so don't even have a monofin yet lol :P Am working on it though as I have always loved swimming dolphin style and I love fantasy and mermaids etc so really want this to happen just not having work etc doesn't allow me to explore this hobby and enjoy it :( But am hoping it will work out in the future!

[Starfrit]

This sounds so amazing! ;w; Unfortunately where I live, traveling off the island costs an arm and a leg, especially to other countries. Hopefully if you guys do this again in the future, I'll have the funds to be able to go! <3

[Firemaid]

It's actually surprisingly affordable! It's why we picked the destination!!!

Our round trip tickets where under $600 each

Food, Lodging and boat tours where only $1,000 per mermaid this year for a 5 day stay!

We will let you know about next years prices with plenty of time to hop on board :)
Or if you get a wild hair you can just meet us out there!!!

[PearlieMae]

I SO want to go!

I want to move to Belize!

[Firemaid]

I SO want to go!

I want to move to Belize! Meet us out there!!!

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

thanks will keep it in mind for another year as I would have to come all the way from Australia for it lol :P But hopefully one year when I can afford my own tail! Sounds amazing though!

[Sherielle]

Dang that sounds like a blast. Maybe next year since I still have to pay off the ski trip we just took.

[Firemaid]

We are so excited!!
Another mermaid just joined the group last minute and I couldn't be happier, because she is also 6 month pregnant!! Two pregnant mermaids?! Woah! The pictures are going to be epic!
I'm going to post all the pictures everywhere, so please follow our facebook and instagram for all the updates.

Does Flashpool Productions have any experience shooting mermaids outside of Sirenalia?

[Firemaid]

Does Flashpool Productions have any experience shooting mermaids outside of Sirenalia?

Yes they do, but they prefer Sirenalia mermaids!!!!
Just kidding! Flashpool was shooting mermaids before they teamed up with Sirenalia. It's actually how we met. Their website is the first one to come up when you google mermaids in my home town. I messaged them we went out to lunch and basically become a team right away! Sarah is incredibly professional and extremely talented. Her assistant Matt is super smart, passionate about underwater photography and always helpful. They are both kind hearted and a joy to be around. We have been so privileged to work with them!

[Firemaid]

Hey guys, just wanted to pop in and tell you we still have four spots left!!!

This trip is amazing for so many reasons! To us it is so much more than a photo op (even though we will get amazing pictures) We will be learning about and taking part in local culture, and of course as always a huge focus for us is ocean conservation!
If you haven't taken time to sign up for the newsletter and read the brochure please do it!

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention, a huge focus for us with this trip was to keep it affordable and I think we've done a great job at that!

Your ticket price includes everything other than food (which is incredibly cheap on the island) and airfare. Our round trip plane tickets from texas where only $350!!!

[frazzy626]

That is a great price for round trip tickets! I was able to find tickets from Ohio round trip for about $500 bucks, its not a pretty flight "lots of delays and connecting flights" but who cares.

[Firemaid]

Wanted to share a little more about the non profit that this retreat benefits!

Having a Sirenalia meeting right now, planning out rooms & scheduling & whatever, and it turns out we actually have two slots left for the retreat.
Want to come along? Be a mermaid in paradise & swim with rays and sharks & get rum drunk & get pro underwater pics & be part of a super cute week long party mythicals?
Oh & VICE might be sending along a documentary crew, so you might be substantially upping your hipster cred by attending (or lowering it, depending on your POV re VICE). So that's cool.
Anyway, come with. It's gonna be great. http://www.sirenalia.com/belize-retreat/ (http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sirenalia.com%2Fbelize-retreat%2F&h=wAQGsm1E8AQE3Hh2F4lOq2McR2ys5rUucSf236TJf6SVEcA&enc=AZOnGfceQHDemzGz5DuhDWhtXyv-Cc-nWSFjhRcM_MWRzafaji2dD-npvX7dH-z-ej2M7XMLCL2kWm-z3DqZuo00-XdwGujIEAPz_8_os1siiePOpuOoax03Id7GCJb5ID-Ajc-evkSwu5GwQ-v3IHC4e94njv5jkac8PGD5NbrR8KiWrl7akmz9Jk920wY5GDU&s=1)
Here's a sexy commercial Flashpool Productions (https://www.facebook.com/Flashpool/) put together about it (edit: SIKE! Flashpool shot the footage but it was edited together by the notoriously Stinky John McGee (https://www.facebook.com/stinkyjohn))
