Though each day has a fun group activity, it is NOT overly scheduled or busy. There is plenty of free time to explore the village or relax at the beach on your own.  All excursions are included, but optional. It's your retreat, do what you'd like,

but we do have a ball where we're together! 


Waterfall Hikes

Being a walking village, you'll appreciate the daily exercise & simplicity of the towns' friendly people as we walk through on our hikes to 2-3 beautiful waterfalls, enjoying a playful, refreshing soak. 

Whale Watching

Group & Private Exploration

Waterfall Hikes

 February is the perfect time for whale watching as they come in to the bay to give birth. It's very common to see mama's showing their babies the ropes while we film it all from just yards away.

Snorkeling

Free Time to Relax

Depending on the tide for clear water, we take a break from the boat to bask in the sea among schools of colorful fish, puffers & more.

If it's possible to tire of the sand, you can relax in the pool on underwater chaise lounges, or on the  patio under the shade of natural palm umbrellas.

The winding stone staircase, lined with tropical vegetation, leads from the pool to the edge of the earth & strong waves of the deep tide ocean. 

As you can see, there's plenty of beach to roam free, sit in the sand, or soak up the sun.

Walk for miles in the sun & sand without the crowds or buildings along the way. Really!

All that is here are the few small private resorts tucked along the cliffs, a beach-front restaurant & a fenced area for sea turtles. Sea Turtles.

Flight Info: Puerto Vallarta

Flight Info: Puerto Vallarta

This is to enjoy the nature & beauty of Mexico,

 not just the beauty of a hotel/resort you can find  anywhere. We enjoy life off the beaten path.

 

*ADVENTURE RETREAT DISCLAIMER*

This is an adventure retreat. 

Not recommended for those with

 limited mobility, joint or sea sickness issues. 

We have FUN in the elements requiring much walking every day on uneven cobblestone, dirt surfaces, & getting wet. Our small, private hotels are in the village, living among the people.  

If you enjoy nature, trails, stone stairs, hiking, getting wet, hopping in & out of boats on the pier in choppy water, fresh fruit, seafood, tacos, open air (yet private) lodging, boating at sea, beach lounging, more tacos, ultimate simplicity, and do not require high personal maintenance or being personally catered to, this retreat is for you! 


*SOLACE RETREAT DISCLAIMER*

This is a solace retreat. Remote & relaxing. 

Tap into your thoughts & creativity in the beauty of the sea & unsurpassed sunsets. No night life, shopping or commercialism.  Enjoy time alone,

 or with another person for mindful connection. 

The only daily agenda as a group is the optional morning yoga & evening dinners. The days are yours. We will visit 2 other beaches with different restaurants, but that's the extent of the 'excursions.' This is a time to reflect, relax poolside overlooking the ocean, or walk for miles along untouched beach. Great for writers, musicians, personal healing & peace of mind.
