You can check the retreat center’s website here. All rooms have mosquito netting around the bed, a comforter and extra blanket, a side table with light, a lock box for your valuables, hot water, soap/shampoo/conditioner, electricity, wi-fi, and a place to store your things. Beyond that, the exact details depend on the room. All rooms are open to the outside and may get visitations from critters, but there is nothing dangerous there. You cannot store food in your room but there is a locked cabinet in the dining area you can use. If it’s at all cool in the evening, Xinalani provides hot water bottles. There are lots of stairs because the accommodations are right on a bluff. Some rooms are farther down the hill close to the beach and the restaurant but far away from the studios. Other rooms are up the hill close to the studios, but farther away from the beach and restaurant. The stairs are well lit although Xinalani recommends carrying a flashlight in the evening. There are no roads in or out of the retreat center, but there are villages to the north and south that you can walk to.

You will need to fly into Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Airfare is not covered in the cost of the retreat. You should plan to arrive in Puerto Vallarta no later than 3:30 PM on 3/22 and leave no earlier than 11 AM on 3/29. We will arrange round trip transportation between the airport and the retreat. Xinalani will send you specific details about the transportation the day before the retreat begins. The $115 charge for that is a required part of the cost of the retreat unless you pre-pay the entire amount by 7/1. 

The trip to and from the airport involves a van and a boat and takes about an hour total. You should also plan to wear shoes and clothing that will allow you to step off the boat into the water upon arrival at Xinalani. Xinalani understands that you have to get through customs upon arrival and they take that into consideration when scheduling your transportation. However, if your flight is delayed past a certain point, it is not safe for the boat to take you to Xinalani. If that happens, Xinalani will send you new instructions for transportation the next day and you’ll need to spend the night in Puerto Vallarta at your own expense. Once you’ve set your airline arrangements, you need to send the airline, flight numbers, and arrival/departure times to Melanie at [email protected]. If you’re spending time in Puerto Vallarta before the retreat and need transportation from the city rather than from the airport contact Melanie for details on how to arrange that.

No.

Prices do not cover gratuities (recommended $20 per night for Xinalani staff and 10-15% for all others), spa treatments, excursions, bar drinks, airfare.

We recommend it, but it is up to you. Check with your airline during booking regarding a more flexible ticket. Additionally, here are some travel insurance options recommended by Consumer Advocates 2024.

You can find all of the activities offered by Xinalani here. 

Kayaks and snorkels are available for free at Xinalani that we can use at any time. You can take surfing or SUP lessons or rent a board. Xinalani will usually set up one trip into Puerto Vallarta for a day of sightseeing and shopping via the boat taxi. Salsa dance lessons are available. You can have a beach bonfire or sweat lodge for a fee. You are welcome to set up any of these activities on your own or with friends when you arrive.

Xinalani will set up some of the above activities with sign up sheets over the course of the week. We are also likely to do one or two group excursions. In 2024, we had access to  the following excursions:

• Jungle trek to Waterfall
• Canopy Zip line Adventure
• Cooking Classes
• Whale Watching
• Swim with Dolphins

Probably! We will send out a questionnaire to gauge interest for group excursions. Excursions are an extra cost that must be paid for directly to Xinalani during the retreat week.

If you arrive in PV early, you can meet the boat to Xinalani at the pier just in front of Hospital San Javier and Galerías Vallarta. You will need to provide Melanie with a pick up time that corresponds to Xinalani’s time window for transportation. You can also get off at the pier in town on the way back instead of going all the way to the airport. The cost is still the same.
