Our Private Villa: JADE

This isn’t your typical eco-retreat.

Our private villa is set just inside the jungle, steps off the beach. Individual bungalows artfully decorate the pool the yoga deck commanding attention at the helm.

Jade is a luxury boutique villa thoughtfully integrated into the surrounding jungle. Surrounding the pool and garden are seven separate and private bungalows with ensuite bathroom and A/C.

What are the days like?

The days are designed to balance space and structure, giving you the flexibility to make the trip yours while offering activities that help you connect with yourself. Everything is completely optional. You’ll find that each day follows a similar flow: 7:30-8:00 – Light breakfast. 8:30-9:45 – Morning yoga. 10-11 – Brunch at Jade. 11-4:30 – Free time. This is when you can go to the beach, walk the jungle trails, explore the town, or do any other activities like surfing, ziplining, ATVs, etc. 4:30-5:30 – Afternoon yoga. 5:30-6:30 – Watch the sunset on the beach. It’s a nightly ritual in the town with unforgettable, pure sunsets. 7:00-8:00 – Dinner at Jade.

Two words – delicious and healthy. Meals are created by your wellness chef. Fresh fruit and breakfast snacks are set out each morning at 7am Brunch will be laid out at 10am each day.

There are also countless restaurants in the area if you’d like more to eat during the day.

Will I be hungry? Predominantly plant-based breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks are cooked fresh by me, your wellness chef. This isn’t meant to be a detox retreat, though every past participant has left feeling lighter and, more importantly, connected intuitively with the impact food has on their body. We don’t want anyone to go hungry so you can saunter into the kitchen anytime for a snack and, as an added bonus, you may find yourself in a private li’l cooking class.
