“I just returned from this small, intimate retreat in Yelapa, Mexico—a place I’d visited years ago—and 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 sacred—a true reset that helped me unplug, soften, and reconnect with parts of myself I’d forgotten to honor. I’m so grateful I said yes—this retreat opened me in ways I didn’t expect.”
— Jacquie F.
Yelapa ~ Pacific Coast, Mexico
6 Nourishing fun-filled, days and nights
Join us at the enchanting Casa Isabel, a sustainable hillside villa nestled beneath a lush jungle canopy—overlooking the Pacific Ocean at the foothills of the magnificent Sierra Madre mountains.
Casa Isabel features a collection of unique, open-air, ocean-view casitas, each thoughtfully designed for privacy and comfort, surrounded by flowering vines and tropical greenery. Every eco-casita has its own artistic character and special charm, all oriented around Casa Central—the heart and gathering space of the property.
The weather this time of year is ideal for deep rest and rejuvenation, with nights perfectly cool for sleeping and the Pacific inviting you to swim in its warm, 82°F waters. And while Yelapa isn’t technically an island, it feels like one—serene, secluded, and reachable only by a scenic 45-minute boat ride across Banderas Bay from Puerto Vallarta (airport code PVR).
Good Eats
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.
Daily breakfast and lunch are included. Dinners are intentionally left open and enjoyed at your own expense in Yelapa, giving you the flexibility to explore the town’s vibrant dining scene and follow your appetite each evening.

"I am passionate about helping women discover the root causes of their wellness concerns and reclaim their vitality—naturally.
