Yoga Retreat
( the feeling of it )
No road reaches it. You arrive by boat onto your own beach, and the jungle starts where the sand stops.
( the story )
A boat-access eco retreat on a private Pacific beach south of Puerto Vallarta, with six jungle yoga studios and open-air palm-thatched suites.
( field notes, dawn to night )
A day here
sunrise
Practice in an open studio with the ocean directly below and nothing between.
late morning
Snorkelling, or paddleboarding, or the plunge pool and a book you're not reading.
afternoon
Up into the jungle behind the beach, where it is ten degrees cooler and much louder.
night
Waves under the thatch, no walls, and whales going past somewhere in the dark.

What you can do
On the property
( plan your stay )
Sleeping open to the weather for a week changes your relationship with being indoors.
There's a boat. Be on it.
best time to visit — November to May is dry and bright, with humpback whales offshore from December to March.
