Revive & get inspired
LUXURY YOGA RETREAT IN MEXICO
Sat 23rd - Sat 30th November 2024
Yoga, meditation, nature hikes and more...
Join us for a week-long, deeply relaxing and rejuvenating journey with yoga, meditation, and nature hikes on the breathtakingly beautiful Pacific Coast of Mexico.
​
Whether you seek a break from your busy life, wish to delve deeper into yoga, go on hikes, surf, or simply treat yourself and relax, you are welcome to join. You will leave feeling nourished, recharged, and blissful from the inside out.
​
This retreat is an opportunity for you to revive and get inspired as we transition from autumn to winter. This time of year is about becoming a visionary, fostering personal growth, expanding your possibilities, and creating a future that inspires and is authentic to you. Together, we will create the space to reconnect with your true desires, move your body to reset, revive, and reclaim your sense of purpose with inspiration.
Creating unforgettable memories...
We will find nourishment of body, mind and soul through delicious and nutritious food, twice daily yoga & meditation sessions, nature walks, the therapeutic vibrations of gong and other sacred instruments, luscious massages and other natural therapies.
Breathing mindfully in unspoiled nature and using a variety of meditation practices, from silence & stillness to movement & visualisation, we will expand our life-force and find our way back into harmony with ourselves and the world around us.
​​
Our holistic experience goes beyond the physical. Enjoy sound baths, inspiring workshops, cacao ceremony and other special gatherings to gain new perspectives and learn new ways to support your inner transformation.
​
This retreat is a beautiful opportunity to connect with like-minded people and forge new friendships, or just simply enjoy some private time meditating amongst the shady palm trees between activities.
You will also have plenty of free time to enjoy all that this magical place has to give. If you like staying active during your holiday you can take part in our nature hike to one of the local waterfalls, take surf lessons, go snorkelling, paddle boarding or join a whale watching tour. If you prefer to just relax and bask in the sunshine with a refreshing cocktail, you can do just that in one of the hammocks on our beach.
​
We aim to support, encourage, and awaken you during this transformational retreat, providing tools, practices, and an opportunity to reset, so you leave with a fresh vision for the months ahead. We can't wait to support you on your journey to renewal!

Travel & arrival
Xinalani is 12 miles south of the Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Our private beach is only accessible by boat. You can take a flight to Puerto Vallarta from the UK, Canada or the USA, or enjoy a stop over in Mexico City or Guadalajara.
There is no road access to the property. For boat transportation purposes, you should book an arrival flight that lands no later than 4:00 PM on the 23rd November and a departure flight that takes off no earlier than 12:00 PM on the 30th November. If your flight arrives later than 4:00 PM or leaves earlier than 12:00 PM you can spend one night at Puerto Vallarta (this is to be booked by you).
​
After landing at Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR), take a moment to change into comfortable clothes for your trip to Xinalani. You’ll be joining us by boat, so expect to get wet up to your knees when stepping off the boat and onto our beach. We suggest wearing shorts, sandals, and sunscreen. We also recommend safeguarding your cell phone and valuables in a waterproof dry bag.
You will be greeted at the airport and we will take you in taxi to the pier of API Terminal Marítima in Marina Vallarta (15 min), where our boat will be waiting for you. Xinalani is a 45 minute scenic boat ride.
Other travel recommendations
If you have a bit more time you might want to add a stop or two to your trip for a culturally rich and colourful experience. If you have any questions just ask!
​
Mexico City
​
Stay in Roma Norte, La Condesa or the Historical District. Get around the city on a bike (ECOBICI), on foot, public transportation, or an Uber. All of the above are safe, and a great way to explore all Mexico City has to offer; artisan and food markets, street food, fancy (and affordable) restaurants, cathedrals, museums, galleries, Chapultepec Botanical Garden, the ruins at Teotihuacan, and so much more.
Oxaca City
​
For more culture, colour and exquisite food fly to Oxaca from Mexico City or take an overnight bus. Rent a mountain bike and tour around the countryside, making your way to El Tule, Mexico’s most famous tree. Rent a car and day trip out to Hierve El Agua, a petrified waterfall and natural springs. Visit Teotitlán del Valle, famous for textiles and stunning rugs or the Inca ruins at Monte Alban. Check out Mercado 20 de Noviembre, a food market where you will want to try absolutely everything! Join a Mezcal distillery tour - there’s plenty of places between Teotitlan and El Tule.
