Every season is yoga season. The more we see yoga retreats around the world, the more inspired we are to be part of the movement towards a more sustainable and mindful way of living. With no need to rely on the weather or any other outside forces, yoga is one of the few things you can do anywhere, anytime. So why not do it somewhere beautiful, pristine, and surrounded by nature? Traveling for wellness basically combines two of our favorite things into one, that’s why we have compiled a list of some our favorite yoga retreat destinations and corresponding properties to host your next yoga getaway.
Verana is located in Yelapa, 46 mins from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and can only be reached by boat. The property, located on the very top of a mountain, boasts stunning views and exudes tranquility. A yoga platform is precisely set up facing the sea, so that guests can zen without missing out on the beauty all around. Healthy gourmet meals are prepared each day and an infinity pool sets the mood for decompression after a flow. Doesn’t get any better.
Initially developed as an agricultural habitat, this villa designed around expansive olive groves is a private retreat that inhabits the entire southern tip of this Croatian island. Set in the archipelago along the Dalmation coast, the arid Mediterranean landscape and traditional stone construction compliment each other perfectly. Picture group yoga poolside…
House of the Sea, Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
An unbeatable private location with a beach and parklike grounds all your own, this is the kind of escape you can luxuriate in without ever leaving the property (but you’ll want to). Casual, beachy and peaceful, this is a relaxing and secluded compound perfect for group getaways.
Calamocha, Manzanillo, Costa Rica
Built in harmony with the surrounding tropical forest on nearly 50 acres of Costa Rica’s Nicoya jungle peninsula, Calamocha is a lush and private compound perfectly arranged for groups. With five unique units to choose from, each is an individual work of art designed with simple luxuries and a deep connection to the natural environment. Namaste.
Modern sophistication with the warmth and natural beauty of tropical paradise is combined with wellness and escapist fun here. Set within a large and gated beachfront community, you’ll have maximum privacy with the convenience of full service amenities. Plus, it’s in Brazil.
La Troza, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
Accessible only by boat or one hour hike, this secluded and luxurious beach compound is newly renovated and expanded creating a unique alternative to a hotel or resort. Comprised of two complete villas, the compound sits along a private white sandy beach where the jungles of the Sierra Madre Mountains meets the waters of the Bay of Banderas. The outdoor living and dining spaces are the cherry on top.
One of the most exciting features of the house is the way the interiors and their surroundings are allowed to merge. Throughout the house there are screened wood louvers, instead of glass windows, to let the sea breeze waft through. There are also some spaces where windows and walls have been left out of the equation altogether, bringing the lovely ocean views and breezy palm trees into the villa, just like a living meditation.
Pererenan Villa, Bali, Indonesia
Seconds from the ocean at Pererenan Beach, this stunning Balinese villa sits in its own gardens with a 20-meter, chlorine-free infinity pool, five large bedrooms, a koi pond, a private chef and a butler. Here, yogis can focus on yoga, nature, and a well rounded Bali experience. And let’s not forget its location, surrounded by miles of beaches, lush jungle vegetation, and Balinese temples.
Celebrating the Balinese aesthetic and traditions, the craftsmanship, raw natural materials and locally made furnishings of this villa make it the ideal getaway. The spacious two story master villa features a large split level living area connected by an elegant spiral stair along with a private deck and infinity pool. The four additional private guest villas are each self contained and feature private decks and water gardens with luxury baths and outdoor showers. The two story main pavilion is graceful and grand with 360 degree views and expansive open air living and dining areas that join the large infinity pool and terrace.
Samui Khao, Kho Samui, Thailand
This private and expansive compound and Award winner for “Best Exclusive Use” from Conde Nast, will spoil you with five star luxuries, pampering and a jaw droppingly beautiful setting.
