Space Description
Host a Retreat
When seeking to conduct a yoga retreat, meditation retreat, or similar meeting, retreat hosts look for locations that reflect positively upon them and offer an environment that meets their values. As someone interested in planning a retreat, there is little to no margin for error. Your guests have high expectations that must be met through a perfect combination of many elements which, thanks to many years of experience, we are experts in delivering in our regenerative wilderness.
Checking All The Boxes
Stunning Location
The venue should be inspiring and enhance the overall tone, mood, and spirit that the retreat leader wishes to create for their group.
Gourmet Food
As a retreat leader and attendee, you don’t want to worry if a place can handle your special dietary needs, be them vegetarian, vegan, etc., but rather you want everyone to rave about how great the food is and how the kitchen exceeded your needs and expectations.
Facilities and Logistics
Retreat leaders and group participants need to know that the equipment, facilities and staffing at the hotel will be taken care of so they can focus on their retreat, and forget about the day-to-day logistics that make the venue run smoothly. This allows hosts and participants to be inspired by the moment-by-moment aesthetics of being present.
Your Playa Viva Retreat
Playa Viva is a favorite choice of wellness and other retreat leaders who want to provide their guests with the perfect combination of beautiful surroundings and eco-luxury living without the expense of a 5-star resort. Located just 35 minutes south of the Zihuatanejo/Ixtapa International Airport (ZIH), Playa Viva is both easily accessible and a world away. Spread out over almost 200 acres, Playa Viva is the ideal place for your yoga, mindfulness, corporate or really any type of retreat. Playa Viva was constructed and is maintained as an eco-friendly facility. Our property blends in with the surrounding Sierra Madre Mountains, coastal mangroves and Pacific Ocean.
Our Facilities
Playa Viva offers several locations for yoga/ meditation/ convenings including multiple ocean-front shalas, poolside stretch space, and Beachfront. Shalla One is our open-sided platform that can host groups both small and large (up to 60 mats with plenty of space). While our newest platform Shalla Two or the Tortuga Shalla as our staff have named it due to its palapa roof resembling a turtle shell, can also host up to 60 mats but is more cocooning with its curved palapa roof that hangs lower on the sides, hugging the space. We also have a smaller platform which we use as a gym space with natural weights but it can also double as another Shala for up to 10 people. All shalas benefit from front-row ocean views and the relaxing background music of waves crashing is complimentary.
Yoga props are all Manduka, top quality and in great shape including lifetime mats, blocks, straps and Mexican yoga blankets. Additional equipment includes 20 “back jacks” (portable backrests), a wireless headsets, and a sound system that you can easily connect to play your own music. There are 19 rooms in total which can all house multiple beds with plenty of space, perfect for groups. At the center of Playa Viva is the creation of “meaningful” community, which happens in the Common Area, host to the Communal Dining Room, Saline Pool, Lounge Areas, Boutique and Beach Palapas.
