All you need is Love

After this year’s wondrous Self Love Retreat in Mexico, we were certain (even before we flew home!) that we’d be returning in 2025…

We are once again heading to Sian Ka’an, an exceptional and utterly unique UNESCO biosphere reserve, located on the east coast of the Yucatán peninsula, Mexico. This ecological reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site lies along Mexico’s stunning Riviera Maya, just 12 Km South of vibrant Tulum. It contains tropical forests, mangroves, marshes, as well as a large marine section intersected by a barrier reef.

Our magical retreat home for the week, Casa Maya Kaan, is a private sanctuary on one of the most beautiful white-sand coves facing the spectacular emerald lagoon. It’s exclusive luxury within a superb wilderness sanctuary.

Guests will enjoy sunrise yoga practices led by Steffy, yin yoga evenings, daily chanting and meditations, sound healing, body/breath work, a private boat tour through the floating mangroves of the emerald lagoon, a Temazcal sweat lodge, a Mayan clay workshop, ice baths, incredible snorkelling along one of the world’s biggest reefs and nutritious and vibrant plant based meals.

We are beyond excited to return to the place we felt so at home and so alive. Join us!
