Included in your package:
Dine in a Hidden Cenote: A Culinary Descent into the Sacred Earth
Journey into the heart of the earth for an unforgettable gourmet dinner inside a private cenote cave glowing with candlelight. Surrounded by ancient stone and crystalline waters, this sacred dining experience feels like a moment suspended in time — intimate, elemental, and profoundly alive.
Sun, Sea & Serenity: A Private Beach Club Escape
Immerse yourself in turquoise waters, warm sun, and barefoot luxury during a rejuvenating day at an exclusive beach club. Lounge, swim, sip, savor — this oceanside sanctuary invites deep rest, pleasure, and coastal bliss.
Yoga: Intentional Movement, Sacred Breath, Daily Renewal
