Caribbean Wellness Escape: Yoga, Meditation & Ocean Adventures in Tulum

This seven-day women's retreat at Zamas Hotel in Tulum, Mexico is a carefully curated experience that weaves together the ancient wisdom of yoga and meditation with the natural wonder of the Yucatan Peninsula. Led by Mary Susan Stults, a 500+ hour E-RYT certified yoga and meditation teacher with over three decades of practice, this retreat offers a rare opportunity to deepen your practice while exploring one of Mexico's most sacred and beautiful regions.

Your days will flow with intention and freedom — morning yoga practices that marry the precision of Iyengar with the dynamic flow of Ashtanga Vinyasa, followed by nourishing breakfasts with your retreat sisters. You'll experience guided and silent meditation sessions, Yoga Nidra for deep relaxation, and creative art workshops using watercolours and acrylics. The practice is alignment-based, with longer holds and detailed breakdowns of postures, making it accessible to beginners while offering depth for advanced practitioners.

Beyond the mat, you'll embark on unforgettable adventures with local partners Awake Mexico. Picture yourself sailing along the coast with views of ancient ruins, diving into a cenote's crystalline waters, perhaps even trying on mermaid fins for an underwater photography experience. You'll stand-up paddleboard across the stunning Kaan Luum Lagoon, its clear turquoise waters reflecting the endless sky above.

The retreat is held at Zamas Hotel, a family-run property that embodies the laid-back, naturally beautiful spirit of Tulum. Born from a love affair with this special place in 1986, Zamas sits on two acres of sand, sea, and coconut trees — the perfect antidote to the mundane. The property is committed to sustainability, using solar and wind power, reducing single-use plastics, and even running a turtle stewardship program.

Evenings bring the group together for dinners at carefully selected local restaurants, where you'll savour authentic Mexican flavours and continue the connections formed during the day. You'll have ample free time to explore on your own, swim in the pool, stargaze on the beach, or simply do nothing at all — honouring whatever your body and spirit need.

This retreat is more than a vacation; it's an investment in your wellbeing, a chance to step out of your routine and into a week of presence, community, and joy.
