COVID-19 RESPONSE :
All retreats will be maximum 5 guests. A negative COVID-19 test result within 48 hours of arrival must be presented to join. Social distancing measures have been taken onsite at the retreat venue to ensure that everyone is safe and protected. Staff members wear masks and keep areas clean and sanitized on a regular basis so you are free to relax and breathe in the fresh jungle air with plenty of open, outdoor space for everyone to relax, socialize, and enjoy nature. Yoga classes in the open-air studio will be set up so distancing is possible. Mats and props are sanitized between classes. Due to the nature of the situation we are only offering private accommodations if you are coming on your own. If you’d like to share a space please plan to bring your roommate/s with you on retreat. There are options for private, shared doubles, triples and quads available.
While we have recently moved to the ‘Yellow Light’ with almost everything in the state operating at full capacity, Mexico still takes precautions and requires the use of masks, anti-virus/bacterial gel, temperature checks and bleach walk-through upon entering into any store or venue so please make sure you have your mask with you when you arrive and even a back up in case you leave yours on the beach or by the pool! Our beach shuttles and airport transfer vans all take extra precautions to ensure sanitation as mandated by the state. Excursions are also spaced so distancing is possible on boats and beyond. Mexico is here to welcome you with open arms for a much needed escape from it all in a time like no other. We anxiously await your arrival and are so thrilled to have you along for this nature ride in our long-time love, Tulum.
