Things to Bring:
ABOUT TULUM
The pristine beach and crystal blue waters of Tulum lie on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. Its relaxed and welcoming atmosphere; natural beauty; cultural richness; and historic importance make Tulum a wonderful destination to host our retreat. It was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Mayans. It’s surrounded by the second largest coral reef in the world, making it an ideal location for snorkeling & fishing. The area is also made up of the largest connection of underground canals in the world. These canals connect a series of beautiful caves with clear ocean water that’s filtered by limestone. The caves are called cenotes, which we’ll visit during our journey. Mayan culture is noted for its logosyllabic script – the most sophisticated and highly developed writing system in pre-Columbian America, as well as its art, architecture, mathematics, calendar, and cosmology. Over the course of the retreat, guests will have the opportunity to learn more about Mayan philosophy and history.
ABOUT HOLISTIKA
The stunning Holistika Hotel Tulum is located in the middle of the jungle. The spacious rooms each have their own hammock. The grounds also include four majestic yoga shalas; large swimming pools; numerous lounge spaces; a spa; and a vegetarian restaurant managed by the beloved chef, Fernando. Juices and smoothies can be ordered throughout the day. At the spa, guests can receive a range of treatments including massage (deep tissue, mayan clay, hot stone among others); facial treatment and numerous other offerings. Holistika is the ideal venue for participants to unwind, explore themselves through yoga and other healing arts, and nurture a caring community within the Prana Retreat.
