6 Day Adventure and Yoga Retreats with Surfing in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico

Program

This retreat was thoughtfully crafted for men and women seeking to escape into the warmth and serenity of tropical Mexico. It’s an invitation to reward your body, uplift your spirit, and connect with like-minded yogis and surfers on a shared journey of renewal.

Designed to offer not only a break from daily stress and routine, but also a vibrant community experience, the Yoga and Surf Retreat at Xinalani blends wellness, adventure, and connection in a breathtaking natural setting.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner, you’ll expand your skills through expertly guided yoga and surf classes, while giving your body the chance to release tension and recharge. Between sessions, indulge in therapeutic treatments from Xinalani’s experienced wellness team — their healing touch will leave you feeling light, balanced, and deeply restored.

Immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of the jungle and the calming energy of the Pacific Ocean. Over six transformative days, you’ll practice yoga, catch waves, savor nourishing gourmet meals, and meditate beneath the open sky — all within a secluded beach sanctuary accessible only by boat and surrounded by lush mountain rainforest.

Classes depend on ocean conditions. Surfboards are available on-site, though you’re welcome to bring your own.

Retreat Location

The retreat takes place at Xinalani Retreat, in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, Mexico — about 12 miles south of Licenciado Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport (PVR). Accessible only by boat, Xinalani was envisioned as a tropical sanctuary for yoga, meditation, and holistic growth.

Nestled in the Bay of Banderas, North America’s second-largest bay, this location surprises even seasoned surfers with its reliable winter waves, rolling in from November through April thanks to its privileged north-facing orientation that catches northern swells.

Xinalani’s 250-yard private beach, hidden away from the bustle of the mainland, offers a rare sense of seclusion. A personalized transfer service is available for guests wishing to be escorted from the airport directly to the retreat by boat.

Here, eco-chic architecture meets mindful luxury — with beautiful open-air yoga studios, healthy gourmet cuisine, rejuvenating spa treatments, and warm, attentive staff dedicated to creating an unforgettable experience.

In the ancient pre-Hispanic language, “Xinalani” means “seeds” — symbolizing growth, renewal, and transformation. It’s pronounced shee-nah-lah-nee.
