âI just returned from this small, intimate retreat in Yelapa, Mexicoâa place Iâd visited years agoâand the experience was truly transformative. Our group of women shared nourishing whole foods, soul-opening conversations, deep connection, and the most beautiful shamanic bodywork, all while being completely immersed in nature. I slept in an open-air casita facing the ocean, held by the breeze and the sounds of the bay each night. The retreat felt serene and sacredâa true reset that helped me unplug, soften, and reconnect with parts of myself Iâd forgotten to honor. Iâm so grateful I said yesâthis retreat opened me in ways I didnât expect.â

5 Nourishing fun-filled, days and nights
Join us at the enchanting Casa Isabel, a lovely sustainable living villa situated beneath a lush jungle canopy on the hillside - right by the Pacific Ocean at the foothills of the magnificent Sierra Madre mountains.
Casa Isabel offers a variety of unique ocean-view accommodations, their privacy ensured by lush shrubs and flowering vines. Each casita has its own special charm and artistic details and is oriented around the original structure, Casa Central. This is the heartbeat of the guesthouse.
The weather is a perfect temperature this time of year for both sleeping and swimming. Though not technically an island, Yelapa feels like one â tucked away from the world and only accessible by a scenic 45-minute boat ride across Banderas Bay, near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (PVR airport code when you are looking for flights).
Good EatsÂ
The food in Yelapa is amazing - always fresh and full of natural flavors. Our caterers and chefs are equipped to work within the parameters of most food preferences and needs.
Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Dairy-free, Nut-allergy-friendly options will be available. We often wake up to morning smoothies full of the ripe tropical fruits growing right outside of our home. There are plentiful options and your body will feel recharged with the nourishing ingredients.
Breakfast and lunch are included each day. Dinners will be enjoyed out in the town of Yelapa, in a variety of delicious restaurants.
