Winter Wellness Retreat in Playa del Carmen

led by Cheryl Vigder Brause and Cindy Olsen of Pause to be Present

Wednesday, January 27 – Sunday, January 31, 2027, at Palmaïa, The House of AïA, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico

Trade winter for four nights on the Caribbean coast. This small-group, all-inclusive retreat blends daily yoga and meditation with time to rest, reflect, and reconnect, at a holistic resort in the gated community of Playacar.

Each day moves between an optional sunrise meditation on the beach, vinyasa yoga, Pause to be Present mindfulness sessions in the morning and evening, and Palmaïa’s own on-site wellness programming, including local Mayan traditions and ceremonies. Afternoons are yours: the beach, the jungle spa, the pools, a bike ride, or simply doing nothing at all.

WHAT’S INCLUDED

• Four nights in an oceanview suite (king or queen, single or double occupancy)
• All meals and drinks across the resort’s five restaurants, plus 24-hour room service; menus are largely plant-based, with non-vegan options
• Daily yoga, meditation, and wellness programming
• Round-trip group transfers between Cancún International Airport and the resort
• Use of the pools, beach, fitness center, and bicycles, plus discounted spa services

Airfare, gratuities, and additional spa treatments are not included.

Per person, all-inclusive: $3,740 double occupancy or $4,550 single occupancy. Early-bird pricing of $3,540 (double) and $4,350 (single) is available for a limited time. Space is limited.
