THOUGHTFULLY-DESIGNED ITINERARY
During times of transition, it is important to tap into our inner fire, and to identify what it is that we are releasing this season. Each major transition in life involves “bridging.” As we move from one stage to another, there is an in-between time that represents the transition. This is the magical space between the in breath and out breath. We will identify what it is we are moving away from, journal any feelings that come up, share what feels right to share with the group, and then offer what no longer serves to the fire of transformation.

PALMAÏA - THE HOUSE OF AÏA -- A PURPOSE-BUILT WELLNESS VENUE
Imagine yourself at Palmaïa, a tranquil oceanfront wellness refuge, surrounded by 400 hectares of virgin jungle setting the scene for a deeply restorative wellness retreat. Aïa is the energy within us that connects us to nature and the universe. To remind us of this, a majestic wooden statue stands enthroned in a large cenote (a natural water-filled abyss), right in front of the beach.
LOCATION
- Palmaïa is located on the most southern point of Playa del Carmen, surrounded by 400 hectares of virgin jungle.
- Close enough to be an easy 45-minute drive to Cancun airport, yet far enough to feel private and secluded.
- Without access roads, Palmaïa is a secluded Pareach the hotel only through a neighboring resort allowing a double layer of security and serenity.
LODGING
- The exquisitely designed oceanfront suites complemented by stunning ocean views, elegant décor, and holistic amenities are unlike anything else in the Riviera Maya. The all-inclusive resort offers a level of seclusion often associated with far-flung island resorts and an atmosphere of tranquility you would expect from a yoga retreat.
-
234 well-appointed rooms whose design reflects the textures and colors of nature that surround you, ALL with private terraces
GASTRONOMY
ACTIVITIES
- Infinity pools & secluded beautiful white sand beach
- Guests will have the perfect opportunity to re-establish the connection between mind and body with guided meditation sessions, yoga classes, sound baths, energy healing, and more all while immersed in the vibrant jungle energy of the Mayan Riviera.
