The Vibe

An Invitation

Nourish your senses and settle into a more spacious rhythm.
Step away from the pace of daily life and into the beauty of a tropical coastal setting. Let the ocean, the warmth, and the surroundings gently invite you to slow down.
Float in the pool, linger over shared meals, walk along the beach, or rest in a hammock. Read, journal, explore—or simply do nothing at all.
Move, breathe, stretch, and listen.
Or take time for yourself. Everything is optional.
This is your time to pause, reset, and reconnect with your own inner rhythm.
An all-inclusive experience—just arrive, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Sample Daily Flow

Morning: dawn prayers, yoga, meditation, breakfast

Midday: rest, journal, read, lunch, pool, beach, explore town

Afternoon: gentle yoga and sound healing

Evening: dinner + rotating experiences

Join what calls you—everything is optional.

Location

Set in the coastal town of San Pancho, this retreat offers a balance of nature, comfort, and ease.

At Alma Vida Retreats, with the Pacific Ocean as a constant backdrop, you’ll find a welcoming sanctuary to rest and recharge. The spaces are thoughtfully designed to feel both beautiful and grounding - supporting a peaceful, nourishing retreat experience.

Spend your days moving between the ocean, pool, and shaded spaces. Slow walks, fresh air, and the rhythm of the coast naturally invite you to unwind.

Frequently Asked Questions

All levels welcome. Newbies and experienced practitioners alike.
We always encourage everyone to go at their own pace. Listen to your body and honor what is appropriate for you.
This is one of the most powerful parts of the retreat.
A Temazcal is an ancient Mesoamerican sweat lodge ceremony, traditionally used for purification, healing, and renewal.
On site at Alma Vida Retreats, you'll enter a dark, dome-shaped space that represents the womb of the earth. Inside, heated volcanic stones (“abuelitas” — grandmothers) radiate intense heat as water and herbs are poured over them, creating waves of steam.
It’s more than a sauna, it’s a guided purification ritual.
The purpose is to sweat out what you’ve been carrying — physically, emotionally, mentally — and release.
All foreign visitors entering Mexico must present a valid passport, which should ideally be valid for at least six months beyond their arrival date.
A valid passport book is required for air travel.
No visa is required for tourist stays under 180 days, but a filled-out Multiple Digital Migration Form (FMMd) is necessary.
PVR (Puerto Vallarta), is the nearest International Airport. This is where we will be arranging shuttles from/to.
Best to get a flight that arrives in the early afternoon so that you have plenty of time to get settled before dinner on the first night.
It takes about an hour to shuttle from PVR (Puerto Vallarta International Airport) to Alma Vida, in San Pancho.
Some groups like to stop at the large supermarket on the way to the retreat center, which adds additional time.
The town of San Pancho is about a 20 minute walk, either along the beach or on the cobblestone streets. Bring shoes that will protect your feet for walking, and a headlamp for walking at night.

Take a few days to pause, reset, and enjoy the rhythm of the ocean.

Move, rest, connect - or simply do nothing at all.
