Six of the best Mexican retreats for yoga enthusiasts
Hacienda Cielo

Large enough to sleep 18 people, this Guanajuato resort has plenty of luxury amenities, particularly for health and fitness enthusiasts.
Yoga enthusiasts can head to the architecturally-stunning glass spa pavilion, which houses a yoga and massage area. A large swimming pool, air-conditioned gym, and tennis courts are a great place to work out, while a gorgeous lavender field and olive tree grove offer a chance to stretch your legs.
Casa Majani
Where: Punta Mita
Bedrooms: 6
A breath-taking villa overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Casa Majani is a fitness lover’s dream. Based on the northernmost tip of the ultra-exclusive Punta Mita community, privileged guests gain access to the development’s world-class golf, tennis, and gym facilities.
Yoga-enthusiasts can organize a private in-house lesson which can take place in the villa’s Tucari yoga sanctuary. Created from natural materials, this dedicated room comes with large windows offering tranquil views over the villa’s beautiful pools and gardens. If guests would like to venture outside of their getaway, Punta Mita also offers a variety of yoga classes for a full range of abilities.
Of course, you can’t practice yoga all the time. Casa Majani also comes with two ocean-view pools, plus a surfboard bar and an outdoor fire pit for when it’s time to unwind. Staff, including chefs, concierge, butler, and housekeeping, mean everything is taken care of for you.
Villa Mandarinas
Where: Mismaloya, Puerto Vallarta
Bedrooms: 11
A Puerto Vallarta villa just nine miles from the buzzing downtown area, Villa Mandarinas is a luxury private rental offering seclusion and peace. Those looking to practice their yoga can head to the dedicated yoga shala — the ideal spot to hone your art while taking in awe-inspiring views of the Pacific Ocean. The open-air, palapa-like structure welcomes in the cool ocean breeze and refreshing scents of the natural environment around it, making it a spiritually and physically re-energizing place to exercise.
Health and well-being vacationers should take advantage of the luxury villa’s in-house chef who can craft a personal meal plan to help you meet your health goals. All dietary needs and allergies can be taken into consideration. When it’s time to cool off, dip into one of two pools or relax by the pool-side loungers. In-house spa offerings are a great way to unwind.
Chable Resort
Where: Merida, Yucatan
Bedrooms: 3 (Chable Presidential and The Royal Villa)

Its on-site natural cenote has become the focus of its well-being offerings, providing a peaceful and spiritual setting for its world-class spa. Ancient healing rituals such as its temazcal ceremonies combine with modern luxuries such as a floatation room to provide the ultimate healthy Mexican getaway.
Of course, as a world-beating wellness retreat, Chablé Resort in Merida also boasts an outdoor wooden deck for yoga and meditation. In the mornings, guests can head to the cenote for an energy-boosting yoga session — the perfect start to your day.
Opt to stay at either the Chablé Presidential or The Royal Villa which come with access to the resort’s unbeatable wellness facilities but offer the privacy one would expect from a villa vacation.
