This is an amazing magical place that is a dream to stay at. There is a LOT of stairs!!! by the end of the week your legs will be in amazing shape at least. This is more of a rual and rugged resort not a five star hotel. The rooms are open air with a mosquito net around the bed. The beds are confortable and the views of the ocean from the room I had was amazing. I went with a group so did two pilates classes a day, I think they offer one yoga class per day for those not with a group running their own classes. The outings offered are fun. Hikes guided by someone that has a ton of local knowledge, Visits to local towns, whale watching, and bird watching. Take advantage of these! The resort is only accessable by boat make sure to bring everything you need. It is nice being at such a quiet and relaxing place. They've upgraded their wi-fi so there is wi-fi avaliable everywhere in the resort. I didn't do much on my phone but the internet was fast and seemed reliable. read more

Xinalani - Beach - Yoga Near Me

Terrific food, gorgeous setting, fab staff and refreshing Yoga. Could there be a better time to get away? ( And there's good wifi if you can't completely disconnect...) read more

I came with no expectations and am leaving feeling completely restored! What a magical Pilates retreat!! This place is definitely unique and sleeping with the sounds of nature is as peaceful as life can be. Waking to the sunlight and chirping of birds is where I want to be to relax and meditate. I definitely needed 5 days here to totally decompress. My stay was made extra special from all the staff that work so hard - Thank you Juliana for the deep tissue massage and Carla for the beautiful pedicure, Fernando for all my tropical drinks at the bar, and all the attentive waiters that remembered me by name. They are what make this retreat truly special! I loved living in the jungle and the 130+ stairs to my room - such a good workout that gets easier every time you do it . Our petite eco suite has beautiful ocean views and complete privacy. The food was very good and presented beautifully at every meal, every day. We had lots of options available and I was never really hungry for that next meal, but couldn't resist trying something new so I really enjoyed the dining experience. They also offer many tours (waterfall, shopping, etc) , a sweat locooking lessons, kayaks, paddle boards, hiking trails and spa services. Now the downside - We did have rain for the first few days so I highly suggest you bring some "off" for the mosquitos and shoes that can get muddy and be washed off. I also recommend tucking in the mosquito nets at night under the mattress. The pool was also closed for the entire stay due to some deck staining which was a disappointment. The beach is small and the water quite rough while I was there. If you're quite the adventurous type and want to try something new, I highly recommend the experience. read more

Beautiful resort and yoga retreat tucked away in the trees. My stay at Xinalani was amazing! The service was great. It seemed like everyone who worked there knew our names even if we only talked once. They went above and beyond. I went whale watching and swimming with dolphins which were both totally worth it. They each cost about $80 but you have to go whale watching while you're there- it was amazing!!! Also you can sometimes see whales from your room or the dining area. The food was very tasty and healthy. It says online that it's mostly vegetarian but that wasn't the case. There was always a fish or meat option. You actually have to let the front desk know if you are vegetarian or else they will default you to the meat option. There are A LOT of stairs. It was 125 stairs up each time to get to my room and 100 steps more for some rooms. Not very accessible to those with mobility issues. The rooms are beautiful and open air overlooking the ocean. The yoga studios are also beautiful. But they get buggy so wear long sleeves during yoga or put on bug spray. Highly recommend this resort! read more

Luxurious jungle ocean yoga retreat south of Puerto Vallarta. Xinalani offers every bit of luxury and service that you could possible ask for. The resort is remote, only accessible by boat, and is on the side of a mountain with amazing ocean views. All of the staff are experts at their craft, and will have your name memorized after asking it once. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style and dinner is coursed. Make sure you let them know if you have any dietary needs (vegetarian, vegan, etc) when you check in. They also offer lots of excursions, spa treatments and a full bar. The extras are expensive, but definitely worth it. Quick note: -The website says they don't have WiFi, but this actually isn't true. I had WiFi everywhere at the retreat. read more

An absolutely amazing experience. Service and food is outstanding. Every meal was delightful. The grounds are well maintained. The steps are rough but such a beautiful place. The rooms are charming. Will go back for a retreat. Thank you staff. read more

The resort is beautiful, with incredible views. You're literally sleeping in a handmade palapa with only three walls, in the Mexican jungle, overlooking the ocean. The yoga was great - not as athletic as I expected, but probably more authentic than the type of yoga we tend to practice in big, busy cities. Very focused on meditation, posture, breathing. Finally, the food was INCREDIBLE. Every day was different, all very healthy choices alternating local fish (catch of the day) and chicken... dinner was plated and included salad, appetizer, entree and dessert. Breakfast and lunch were buffets with tons of options (including vegan / vegetarian options for all meals). Beware, there are tons of stairs. That was fine for me, but people with bad knees may have an issue with it. Also, it did tick me off that the prices are US prices, not Mexican (meaning, a massage or boat ride are comparable to NYC prices and about 4X what they usually cost in Mexico). Overall, a great experience that I would recommend and would love to do again! read more

This resort is more than I expected. Not only is the resort amazing. The people that work here are even better! I'm on a solo trip. I was nervous, but for no reason. I feel more than comfortable. I needed a place to get away after my after passed. I'm secluded in paradise. With amazing healthy nourishing food, wonderful yoga. Today no one attended the last session of Yoga and i had a private session on the beach. This place located IN the jungle, and next to the beach. Not a walk from the beach ON the beach. There's a waterfall nearby, surfing, lots of incredible wildlife. You can see whales dolphins and sea turtles. Definitely take part in the Temazcal ceremony, music by Mario, and don't forget to have a custom drink my Fernando at the bar. If you get a massage, ask for Angel. He does his namesake proud. Wear the insect repellant. You'll be IN the jungle, there are bugs. Food is incredible, buut served at specific times. Don't miss out. There are probably a million other amazing things I'm forgetting, you'll just have too book to find out... read more

Xinalani - The infamous stairs. - Yoga Near Me

*REFUSING REFUNDS for TRIPS CANCELLED due to COVID-19* I'd originally booked with a NJ group for a retreat at Xinalani 3/21-3/28. I flew from NYC to CA to stay 6 days and then fly from SFO to Puerto Vallarta. I wake up to an email on 3/14 (the morning after I landed in CA) that the retreat had been rebooked to the end of May. I spent 3 hours on the phone to rebook mine and my friend's flight +$300. 10 days later, they postpone the retreat to MARCH 2021. At this point NYC's COVID pandemic is peaking. They are flat out refusing refunds of any kind due to COVID-19 (not to mention official travel bans to Mexico without a timeframe) - and in their words - "GENEROUSLY RESCHEDULING US TO MARCH 2021 - I paid $1650 + $1000 in flights for this trip. I am an actor - there is no work to be had - the world is in CRISIS. How can we possibly plan for a YOGA RETREAT a year from now while in a global pandemic? Ruthless, selfish capitalist not in line with their supposed mission (signing "Namaste" in each correspondence I send to their staff). Give us our money back. It's immoral that they hide behind business policies during a global pandemic - as a professional actor - no one can work - I am stuck in CA paying my rent in NYC for an empty room. Hypocrites re: their mission. read more

This place is magical!! Everyone is so so so friendly, there wasn't a single meal that I didn't want seconds of, the level of organization surpasses any place I've ever stayed and I travel quite frequently. I was traveling alone and the detailed email beforehand and communication at the airport allowed for such a easy transition into this beautiful Oasis. I highly recommend the temezcal. It was quite the spiritual journey and would totally do it again if I ever had the chance. The yoga is twice a day and perfect! The pictures just do not do this place justice and the service! Xinalani goes out of their way to make sure you are comfortable and could want for nothing. My only warning to those who might have difficulty with stairs is there is a ton of them, a ton! I just counted it as my cardio for the day:-) Thank you Xinalani! read more

Not knowing what I was in for at a yoga retreat, this lovely resort far exceeded my expectations, from the moment you're greeted in Puerto Vallarta to your departure, The staff across the board was exceptional from the kind and fun bartenders to the restaurant staff, Jimmy and crew, to the excellent food coming from the chef, accommodating all needs and wants from Vegan to Gluten free to daily salsa made for any meal and who doesn't love a Negro Modela with a Mexican breakfast. The chef came out during every meal to make sure we were well taken care of. The housekeeping was thorough in taking great care of your room. Any excursion (hiking and fishing village) was highlighted by our lovely guide, Daniel. The various yoga rooms were beautiful with stunning views everywhere as every room from anywhere at the resort also had stunning ocean views. Truly, a gem to be found, can't wait to return. Well done Xinalani, Well done!!!!!!! Vasi read more
