Pilates, Wellness & Adventure in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

January 2–6, 2027

Move, reset, and recharge in beautiful Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Spend five days and four nights in a stunning private villa, combining daily Pilates, wellness, incredible food, ocean adventures, and plenty of time to simply relax.

Each day includes two Pilates sessions designed to build strength, mobility, balance, and body awareness. Throughout the week, we will have intimate wellness workshops exploring nutrition, longevity and healthy aging, pelvic floor health, and mindful living.

Beyond the mat, we'll experience the magic of Puerto Vallarta with Humpback whale watching, sailing, and snorkeling, plus plenty of free time to explore, shop, enjoy the beach and nightlife, or simply relax beside the infinity pool.

Our private villa will be our home away from home, complete with beautiful indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a palapa bar, breathtaking surroundings, and a private chef preparing fresh, traditional Mexican-inspired cuisine throughout our stay.

This is more than a Pilates retreat.

It's a chance to move your body, experience something new, eat incredible food, connect with others, slow down, and start 2027 feeling stronger, refreshed, and fully alive.

Pilates. Wellness. Nature. Adventure. Connection.

Come start your year somewhere beautiful.

Perched at the top of a hillside and tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the villa offers spectacular panoramic views of the town and ocean, while remaining exceptionally private.

With an infinity pool, beautiful indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, a palapa bar, incredible views, and a private chef, our villa is the perfect setting to move, unwind, connect, and soak up Mexico's beauty.

Throughout the villa, you will find luxurious details including luxury linens, plush towels, spa robes, and professional hair dryers. High-speed Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.

Private and shared room options are available.
