Tides & Tranquility: Yoga in Mexico

This experience is a very traditional yoga retreat—a chance to truly unplug, slow down, and immerse yourself in the rhythm of practice and rest. We’ll spend the entire week at Xinalani, a secluded eco-luxury retreat, where the focus is on daily yoga, nourishing meals, ocean breezes, and time to simply be.

While there are wonderful optional activities available—like jungle hikes, spa treatments, and visits to the nearby fishing village of Quimixto—this retreat is designed first and foremost as a space for renewal, reflection, and connection. Think sunrise yoga, barefoot beach walks, hammock naps, and the soothing sounds of the Pacific guiding you into deep relaxation.

Xinalani offers beautifully designed, eco-chic accommodations that blend comfort with nature. Each open-air palapa is thoughtfully built with sustainable materials and perched along the hillside, inviting the ocean breeze and the sounds of the jungle in. Rooms feature comfortable beds with mosquito netting, private or shared bathrooms, and spacious balconies or terraces with stunning views of the sea or lush greenery.

Fly into Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR) in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

After landing, you’ll take a short taxi ride (arranged by Xinalani) to Puerto Mágico Marina, where you’ll board a boat to the retreat. The scenic ride takes about 45 minutes and brings you directly to Xinalani’s secluded beach.

Yes—group airport and boat transfers are included on the retreat arrival and departure days.

All meals are included. Enjoy fresh, healthy Mexican cuisine—a delicious blend of local flavors and nourishing ingredients. Meals are served buffet-style, featuring plenty of options for vegetarians, vegans, and other dietary needs.

Yes—Xinalani’s jungle spa offers massages and holistic treatments on-site.. Treatments can be booked in advance or upon arrival.

You can book optional experiences such as whale watching (seasonal), dolphin encounters, jungle hikes, waterfall swims, Temazcal ceremonies, and ice bath therapy sessions—all available for an additional fee.

In early May, expect warm, sunny days around 85°F (29°C) and comfortable evenings with ocean breezes. It’s an ideal time to enjoy beach days, ocean swims, and dining under the stars before the summer rains arrive.

We love solo-travelers and we have hundreds join us every year on retreat! If you prefer to share your room and are traveling alone, we will do our best to match you with another traveler of the same gender. If we are not able to find you a roommate for the room category you initially booked, we may need to move you to an alternate rooming type. In some cases, a discounted single supplement fee may need to be applied to your invoice. We will communicate this directly to you via email prior to your departure.

We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect both you and your investment. Unexpected events—such as personal emergencies, health issues, political or environmental factors, or weather disruptions—can arise and affect travel plans. 

For the maximum coverage, be sure to purchase your policy within 7–10 days of your initial deposit.
