Sayulita Wellness Retreat has been running for more than five years from a private, gated property overlooking the Pacific in Riviera Nayarit. The programmes are built around plant medicine — mostly psilocybin mushrooms, plus ibogaine for those on the medically supervised ibogaine track — and everything else on the schedule is there to prepare you for that session and help you make sense of it afterwards.
The first afternoon is check-in, a consultation and a medical evaluation by a doctor and nurse. The team asks about your history, your reasons for coming and any medications, and uses body weight, tolerance and what you want to work on to set your dose. A typical macro dose is around 3.5g of dried mushrooms, ground, weighed on a digital scale and mixed into orange juice. If you want to go further during the session, a 1.5g booster is available. Microdose sessions run separately, and most packages include a DMT session too.
On non-ceremony days the schedule fills up with yoga, somatic movement, breathwork, yoga nidra, sound baths, hypnotherapy and massages, and there are outings like a horseback ride through the jungle, a cooking class with the chefs, and on the longer packages a snorkel trip or sunset sail. Everything is optional. Guests regularly describe the calendar as packed, but nobody makes you do any of it.
What sets this place apart from a typical ceremony retreat is the amount of clinical and therapeutic staff. The ibogaine programme is overseen by Dr. Estrella Jaramillo Espericueta, who trained at the Hospital Naval de Puerto Vallarta, alongside emergency physician Dr. Marco Carrillo and nurse Rodrigo Plata, with EKG monitoring onsite. Integration work is led by psychotherapists including Víctor Chong, who has more than twenty years of experience with crisis intervention and addiction recovery, and Juan Pedro Sánchez, a gestalt therapist trained in Jungian analysis.
The location does a lot of the work too. The pools and beach sit right below the rooms, and Sayulita and San Pancho, two small surf towns, are nearby if you arrive early or stay on. The airport at Puerto Vallarta is roughly 45 to 60 minutes away, and private drivers handle both ends of the trip.
After you leave, you get one-to-one aftercare calls with a psychotherapist (two weeks in the package listings, four weeks in the FAQ) and an invitation to the alumni community. The team is clear that this is not a replacement for emergency care or conventional medical treatment, and anyone coming for addiction or mental health reasons is asked to talk it through with them first.
