Spiritual Retreats in Tulum, Mexico

While package tourists flock to Cancun for cheap package deals in all-inclusive hotels, the small town of Tulum attracts a different kind of tourist.

Previously known as a haven for hippy travelers who would sleep in sand-floor huts on the beach, Tulum evolved in the past decade to become a center for mindful travel. Professionals flock from busy U.S. cities such as New York to relax and unwind by the beach, and take part in retreats.

There are plenty of options available, many of which offer yoga classes. Check out Holistika Tulum, Life Source Retreats and La Calma to get an idea of what is available.

Other options include Amansala, on the beachfront, and Sanara Tulum. All of these retreats offer physical, mental and spiritual healing through a variety of methods.

Spend your days taking part in healing ceremonies, taking yoga classes or getting a variety of massages. It’s the perfect antidote to the stressful city life and you’ll go home feeling like a new person.

Tulum is just a two-hour drive from Cancun International Airport, which has a huge number of flights to destinations across the United States and Europe. It’s easily accessible, but at the same time a million miles away from home.
