Mexico Island Yoga Retreat

MEXICO ISLAND YOGA RETREAT 2025

Imagine being on your own private beach in Mexico in March, enjoying your stay in a beautiful 6-bedroom home, with new friends, a private chef, and yoga in the mornings and late afternoon. Your’e invited!

Casa de la Playa is a landmark on Isla Mujeres, located on the exclusive Sac Bajo peninsula. Its unequaled architecture provides 360 degree views of the Caribbean and the Macax Lagoon. The gracious appeal of Casa de la Playa will attract those looking for complete privacy and luxurious tropical surroundings in a sandy seaside setting.

The design and decor of Casa de la Playa is enhanced throughout with marble floors, exotic tropical woods and wooden plantation shutters. The living room provides an almost surrealist view of the blue sky and tropical foliage.

Outside your stay at Casa del la Playa, there is the rest of Isla Mujeres to explore, including the Cancun Underwater Museum of awe-inspiring submerged sculptures.

We will practice yoga twice a day, and enjoy one day of a group outing to discover the area.

This retreat will allow time to relax, enjoy the warm weather and beautiful ocean, and delight in the company of a small group of people who are all there for the same thing.
