UY&W Adventure & Solace Retreats | Yelapa & Coastal Mexico

---

Yelapa has no cars, just quaint walking trails on cobblestone & dirt roads.  At the main beach, enjoy the lounge chairs with fresh food/drink service & wonderful restaurants along the way.   

We’ve been excited to share this new exclusive upgrade with YOU! The private, secluded resort caters to 8 guests, surrounded by beauty and the natural sounds of the vibrant jungle.  

Each yurt-style dome houses 2 guests in artisan beauty, complete with fresh fruit/snack bowls & soft, cozy robes. Nestled where the river meets the bay with manicured lawns, palm trees & lush flowering vegetation, the domes surround a private lounge area with hammocks & bar, even a stage for live music. 

A perfect blend of simplistic luxury comfort within the beach-front jungle village.

*See photos in gallery below

*Optional- Join us as we rotate teaching different styles of yoga & breathing patterns (pranayama) every morning at our jungle suite, to the sounds of tropical birds.  A wonderful opportunity to learn  a healthy wellness regimen to take home. 

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! 

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 refreshing soak. 

January/ 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 as we're watching from just yards away.

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. 

Among the adventures, there is ample time to yourself.  Wander the village, take a nap or soak up the sun at the beach umbrellas with piña colada's & fresh ceviche.

This small village is full of kind, loving people 

and  home to a nationally awarded Folk Dancing team, a school program where students learn different cultural dances from all regions of Mexico, to perform for you!

Welcome to the view of our home for the week, 

WAY off the beaten path on the western coast. Fully equipped with private casitas, bar/restaurant, cliffside pool, miles of untouched beach below, and nothing/no one else.

Enjoy the most beautiful accommodations in the area, overlooking the ocean with endless beach.

No added excursions; this is for you to just BE. *Read disclaimer bottom of page.

Adding to the experience is having your own home. Our secluded, beautifully landscaped resort is made up of separate private casitas, each with unique artisan bathrooms & decor.

(previous photo from the front of this casita)

We offer gentle yoga & breathing every morning on the patio with this view, which aside from dinners & visiting neighboring beaches, is our only scheduled activity. The days are yours. 

Time to just BE is an added experience to these mindful practices. Relax, cleanse & create a healthy wellness regimen to take home. 

Enjoy the ocean view from the top. 

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.(not suitable for swimming due to tide, but we visit a beautiful swimming beach nearby.)  

As you can see, there's plenty of beach to roam free, sit in the sand & 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.

Though we have our own bar/restaurant on the property, we'll visit surrounding beaches for swimming, snorkeling & dining during the week, changing our scenery to even more scenery.

Breathtaking ocean views, tides & sunsets to help ignite your senses, emotions & creativity.

We created this retreat specifically with that in mind; a healing place for artists, musicians, writers, or anyone wanting to relax & just be. 

Soak in the beauty of nature & simplified life.

We enjoy the nature & beauty of Mexico,

 not just staying within a resort you can find  anywhere. Enjoy combining the experience of artisan luxury with life off the beaten path.

*DELUXE ADVENTURE  DISCLAIMER*

We enjoy the nature & beauty of Mexico,

 not just staying within a resort you can find  anywhere. We combine the experience of artisan luxury with life off the beaten path.

While upscale this year, this is still an adventure!

This year we've found a private, more beach-accessible venue, sleeping in beautiful air conditioned domes, equipped with personal valet from airport, river floats to beach, optional laundry service & more! 

AND... we still have FUN in the elements, which does require daily walking on uneven cobblestone, dirt surfaces, water &  sand, 

plus small boat travel 3+ times during your week.

This luxurious sanctuary is the perfect location for you if you enjoy nature, daily movement, fresh fruit, seafood, tacos, upscale private lodging, being on & in the ocean, beach lounging, more tacos, elegant simplicity... if you'd like more pampering than we've offered in the past, 

THIS IS YOUR YEAR! 

*Not recommended for those with

 limited mobility, joint issues or easily sea sick. 

________________________________________________

*COASTAL SOLACE DISCLAIMER*

We enjoy the nature & beauty of Mexico,

 not just staying within a resort you can find  anywhere. We combine the experience of artisan luxury with life off the beaten path.

This is a solace retreat intended to be remote, relaxing & rewarding. Tap into your thoughts & creativity in the beauty of the sea & unsurpassed sunsets and the beach that goes on forever. 

There is no night life, shopping or commercialism.  Enjoy time alone, or with another person for mindful connection. 

Each morning begins with a breathing practice, yoga, optional walk on the beach and a beautiful breakfast. We will visit two additional beaches, several restaurants, a small bay for swimming & snorkeling, but that's the extent of "excursions." 

This is a time to reflect, relax and renew by the poolside overlooking the ocean. An opportunity to read, write or create on your private patio, then walk for miles on untouched beach. 

If you are a writer, artist, musician, or in need of personal healing with time away from the business of "life," THIS RETREAT IS FOR YOU.

*Not recommended for those with

 limited mobility, joint issues or easily car sick,or desire to "do" or see a lot. This is about "being" and experiencing simplicity.

We're here to answer any questions you have

 to ensure the best possible experience.
