About

Learn More

Our Paradise Express retreat, in Tulum Mexico, is worlds away from the daily hustle. We invite you to come join us by the Caribbean sea, where we will open ourselves up to a simpler way of life, and tap into creativity and community.

We will make our home for the week in a beautiful tropical villa, with plenty of access to the sun, sea, sand, and hammocks. Mornings begin with a Vinyasa yoga flow class to wake up the body and unblock the mind. We will start the week with a group art installation on the beach, fueled by sunshine and fresh tacos. Creating temporary collaborative art allows us to let go of the need for control, perfection and permanence, all of which can smother creativity. Other highlights include an excursion to the nature preserve of Sian Ka’an to clear our minds in nature and to gather inspiration for our take-home project, a beautiful wall-hanging.  We will also have the opportunity to sample the delicious and beautiful presentation of the local cuisine, after all, art is meant to delight all of our senses. And no trip to Tulum would be complete without a refreshing dip in a cenote!

Also included in the retreat is a massage by gifted body-worker Elvira. To close out the retreat, you’ll have a henna session with Darcy, a beautiful memento and subtle reminder to integrate your creative process and self-care into your daily life.

Don’t forget to bring your yoga clothes (of course you can also opt for a sunrise beach walk if that’s more your style!) and a sketchbook to record your thoughts and ideas during the week. There is also plenty of unscripted time for you to explore the region and relax on your own, or with new friends.

ACCOMMODATIONS


Enjoy our own private villa right on the beach road in Tulum. Ocean across the street, steps from all of Tulum’s hottest attractions, and miles of beach to walk. Plus we have our own private pool and beautiful yoga space. The house has 5 bedrooms, 3 shared indoor bathrooms and a pool bathroom, dining area to enjoy breakfast, a restaurant across the street, and an ample yoga space for outdoor practice.

Each room is unique with different views and features.  Room #1 offers a king bed on the first level with a mezzanine holding two twin beds on the second floor as seen below. There is a bathroom on the king bedroom level. Room #2 is a lofted area above the dining area featuring another two twin beds. Bathrooms for second level are shared either downstairs or upstairs.

Rooms #3 & #5 offer ocean views from the top floor of the house. One room has a queen bed and the other has a king. There is plenty of closet space, a secret walkway outside for ocean views, and two bathrooms in the hallway to share amongst the three rooms upstairs.

Room #4 is also on the third floor.  It has a king bed and jungle views.

 

Tulum is an ecological zone which means rustic luxury. We have electricity and solar powered internet 24 hours per day. Sheets and towels are changed only when necessary to conserve our precious natural resources and we offer ocean breezes instead of air conditioning. Most of the year the weather is very comfortable and you are lulled to sleep by the sound of the waves just steps from your bed.  We heat our own water for showers and tread lightly on the land that hosts us all.

A special thanks to Modern Maya Media for this creation of our current Yoga + Spa retreat offerings in Tulum.


This amazing video was made by Lobo Viejo Films for us when we had our own little gem on the beach in Tulum called Utopia from 2012 until 2016. It was a unique, sacred place that was taken from us by a corrupt Mexican government way too soon but we will always hold it near and dear to our hearts. For those of you that got to experience this retreat center you are fortunate.

We duplicate the experience of our Yoga + Spa retreats in our new home at Zamas in our stunning, private villa Casa Vallejo which has MUCH more amenities than Utopia so for THAT our new and returning guests are fortunate 😉
