BitChill Returns with Season 02 in Próspera, Roatan
January 18–28, 2026 | Próspera, Roatan, Honduras
BitChill is back for its second season, returning to Próspera, Roatan with an expanded edition that blends Bitcoin culture, tropical living, and meaningful human connection. Taking place from January 18 to 28, 2026, BitChill S02 is not positioned as a traditional conference or a standard business trip. Instead, it offers an immersive, multi-day retreat designed for Bitcoiners seeking clarity, collaboration, and community—set against the backdrop of one of the most Bitcoin-friendly jurisdictions in the world.
Hosted in Próspera, a special economic zone on the island of Roatan, BitChill brings together a small, curated group of participants for a shared experience rooted in freedom, learning, and exploration. With a limited capacity of just 31 participants, the event prioritizes depth over scale, allowing genuine relationships and ideas to emerge organically.
What Makes BitChill Different
BitChill defies conventional event formats. Rather than rigid schedules and crowded stages, the experience emphasizes flexibility, balance, and presence. Over the course of the retreat, participants engage in a carefully curated rhythm of activities that combine education, wellness, adventure, and unstructured social time.
While BitChill is often described as a seven-day retreat, the January 2026 edition extends across ten days, allowing for a more relaxed pace and deeper integration into life in Próspera and Roatan. The agenda remains intentionally adaptable, acknowledging that island weather and spontaneous opportunities often shape the most memorable moments.
The one constant throughout BitChill is the people: a global mix of Bitcoiners, builders, creators, and explorers who value open dialogue, shared meals, and thoughtful conversations over performative networking.
A Week (and More) of Learning, Adventure, and Connection
BitChill S02 offers a diverse range of experiences designed to reflect the many dimensions of Bitcoin culture and location-independent living.
Exploration and Island Adventure
Participants will experience Roatan both above and below the water, with activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, sailing to nearby cays, yacht trips, and beach bonfires. Island exploration also includes visits to hidden beaches, local food spots, and lesser-known corners of Roatan that showcase its cultural and natural richness.
Sports, Wellness, and Recovery
Wellness is a core pillar of BitChill. The program includes tennis, yoga, pilates, breathwork workshops, meditation sessions, morning swims, cold plunges, and even a visit to a longevity clinic. These activities are designed to support physical well-being while complementing the mental intensity of Bitcoin-focused discussions.
Education and Insight
A central educational component of BitChill is the Bitcoin Educators Academy, running across multiple days. Workshops and sessions cover topics such as Bitcoin fundamentals, Nostr, governance models, tax residency, incorporation, and practical strategies for building on a Bitcoin standard. These sessions are complemented by informal debates, lightning talks, and project demos led by attendees themselves.
Community and Collaboration
Open mics, unconference sessions, poker nights, trivia, karaoke, barbecues, and casual coworking sessions create space for collaboration without pressure. The goal is not to pitch or perform, but to listen, share, and build trust—often leading to partnerships and friendships that extend well beyond the retreat.
Experiencing Próspera Firsthand
One of the defining aspects of BitChill is its direct integration with Próspera and its surrounding communities. Participants will visit the Bitcoin Center, the Circular Factory, and other key hubs, while also meeting residents, entrepreneurs, and builders who are actively shaping the local ecosystem.
For many attendees, BitChill serves as a “soft landing” into Próspera—an opportunity to explore business opportunities, understand governance frameworks, and experience daily life within a Bitcoin-aligned jurisdiction before making longer-term decisions about relocation or investment.
Who BitChill Is For—and Who It Is Not
BitChill is intentionally selective, not through exclusivity, but through values alignment.
It is well-suited for:
Digital nomads and entrepreneurs exploring relocation options
Builders and investors interested in Bitcoin-aligned jurisdictions
Creators and free spirits seeking depth, curiosity, and collaboration
Individuals who want to experience Próspera and Roatan beyond tourism
It is not designed for:
Party-focused tourists
Passive attendees or freeloaders
People resistant to new ideas or alternative systems
Those seeking rigid control or highly scripted experiences
BitChill is about curiosity, respect, and personal responsibility—qualities that shape both the community and the conversations.

A Different Way to Experience Bitcoin—and the Caribbean
