Details
This retreat offers a spacious, nature-led immersion in awareness, set within the raw beauty of Playa Viva’s regenerative eco-luxury sanctuary. Surrounded by ocean, jungle, and open sky, the ambiance is calm, elemental, and deeply restorative—inviting a natural slowing and return to presence. The intent of this gathering is to support embodied connection through mindful movement (yoga), meditation, and elemental awareness, guided by the rhythms of nature. Drawing from Ayurvedic wisdom and the five elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—participants are invited into balance, clarity, and renewed vitality. Benefits include nervous system regulation, increased self-awareness, grounded energy, and a felt sense of belonging—to body, nature, and community. What sets this retreat apart is its integration of elemental practice within a regenerative, oceanfront environment that honors sustainability, spaciousness, and authentic connection.

Healthy Mexican At Playa Viva we see food as medicine and our ethos is what we would describe as healthy Mexican. We focus on traditional Mexican meals, but we cook with minimal oil and healthy, local ingredients. We strive to get as many organic ingredients as possible and grow as much of our food on our 20-acre permaculture farm or source from our local producer partners as possible. Farm to table is an aspirational goal for us with the objective that our chef and kitchen team have a direct relationship with the producers of each item on your plate. Because of this close connection to the food we serve, we are able to accommodate a wide variety of dietary concerns including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, omnivore and even Kosher, not to mention special care to address any allergies, gluten free, sugar free and other food concerns. Our Menu Our chefs change the menu daily based on the produce available from our farm and local producers, but here is an example of what you might find on a particular day during your stay at Playa Viva. Breakfast might be chia seeds in coconut milk or museli, local fruit (such as papaya, melon, watermelon, pineapple), yogurt, tortillas, fresh eggs as you like, fresh orange juice, tea (from local herbs like mint, limon, cinnamon etc.) and coffee (local and organic). Lunch might be sopes (handmade thick tortillas filled with beans and topped with lettuce, tomato, onion, etc.), ceviche, pozole, freshly caught seafood, or roasted vegetables. To complement, we have a salad bar that celebrates more produce from the farm for you to create your own colourful side, and of course, fresh tortillas plus aguas frescas to drink. Dinner might include a tortilla soup, Caesar salad, fresh red snapper, slow-roasted pork, a variety of vegetarian dishes, and maybe some taquitos. Dinner is followed by a dessert bar of traditional Mexican delights such as chocolate tamales, coconut ice cream and mango flan Snacks during the day might include guacamole, paletas (fresh fruit popsicles), organic popcorn, or jicama/carrot/cucumber slices with lemon/salt/chile
