ABOUT US
We are an eco-friendly and sustainable retreat place on the Pacific coast of Mexico, hosting people from around the world who seek to connect with nature, find peace
and embrace a simple healthy lifestyle.
We offer our guests a beautiful organic garden full of fruit trees, with free range chickens and ducks, that provide a
unique and special atmosphere.
Additionally, we provide personalized services such as yoga, meditation, breathing exercises, pilates reformer, sound healing and surf lessons, among others.
We promote health, knowledge and well-being of body, mind and spirit through nature, movement, mindfulness,
and conscious eating.
We offer exclusive Wellness, Adventure,
and Healing retreats for those seeking true transformation and deep connection.
At Paikea Mexico, we believe that the change we wish to see in the world starts with us. This transformation begins with the simplest aspects of life: how we breath, how we eat and how we relate to ourselves and our surroundings.
Through our coherence and example,
we will create that world of love, peace, and balance we deeply desire.
HISTORY:
It all began with a dream of having an
organic garden near the beach, where I
could walk to surf and, on the way back,
enjoy a fresh coconut from my garden.
Start the day with organic eggs
from my free-range chickens.
Watch my fruit trees grow and maintain
an organic garden to feed us healthily.
Have bees that pollinate our garden
and provide us with honey.
Surround ourselves with free and happy animals to enjoy a simple life in
connection with nature.
Return to the natural flow of life, free from haste and pressure, living organically
and fully in the present moment.
Build a great team with someone I love, so together we can watch our dreams grow.
Today, I feel immense gratitude for
not doubting, for following my dreams,
and for listening to my heart.
But I feel even deeper gratitude because
I never imagined that I would be able to
share this dream, this magical place,
and this lifestyle with people from
all over the world.
