Overview hotel

Located in the Riviera Maya close to the resort of Playa Del Carmen yet secluded away from the tourist crowds. The retreat is situated right on the beach with warm Caribbean waters all year round and is surrounded by 400 hectares by untouched jungle. Access to the resort is intentionally discreet, there are no public roads leading directly to the hotel. Entry is granted through a neighboring resort, followed by a golf cart ride, creating an extra layer of security and exclusivity.


When to go

This part of Mexico has a warm tropical climate, the best time to visit for low rainfall and humidity is mid-November to mid - March. Rainy season runs from May - October. Sea water is warm all year round.

What we love

  • Food menus are mostly plant-based (some non-vegan options as well) - gone are the days of unhealthy all-inclusive holidays!
  • Palmaia strives to become carbon neutral by 2023
  • There are about 20 activities to enrich your mind and body (each day starts with Sun Gazing and ends with Sunset Meditation). The resort also has its own resident Personal Growth Guide (shaman)!

Who should go

  • Solos looking to find themselves in a safe, supportive environment 
  • Those who want a break combining beach, sun, sea, holistic activities and healthy food - you get it all here!
  • Families with kids as hotel have a dedicated section for families and kids club is offering indoor and outdoor activities which are inspired by Waldorf teaching system.
