Tide and Tribe at Xinalani

Tide and Tribe is a wellness retreat at Xinalani Retreat, an oceanfront retreat center just south of Puerto Vallarta, in Jalisco, Mexico. It suits anyone looking for a yoga and wellness retreat in Mexico built around shared time with other people, in a setting where the jungle meets the Pacific.

The Setting

Xinalani sits on the coast south of Puerto Vallarta, between the jungle and the Pacific Ocean. The center hosts yoga and wellness retreats through the year, and its retreats bring together visiting teachers, nourishing cuisine, time in nature and a like-minded community. The programs at Xinalani draw on yoga, meditation, movement, wellness and personal growth, and each retreat shapes those elements in its own way.

Tide and Tribe is one of these guest-led retreats. The name points to its two threads: the ocean at the door and the group you share the week with. Days at a place like this tend to be organized around the sea, the shoreline and the surrounding forest, with meals and practice held in the same unhurried setting.

Before You Go

Xinalani is in the Puerto Vallarta area, so most guests arrive through the city before traveling south along the coast. Because each retreat at Xinalani is arranged by its own host, check the retreat's listing for the current dates, the daily schedule, what is included and how to reserve a space.
