Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Mexico · Puerto Vallarta

Salt, sun
& swim.

Mexico's Pacific coast in motion — golden beaches framed by the Sierra Madre, open-water swims, jungle trails, catamarans and long, tequila-soaked evenings.

Two trips

A pilot, then the real thing.

We're building our Mexico programme in two stages. A small pilot in January 2027 — five guests, base cost, in exchange for your feedback. Then the full retreats, back-to-back, in January 2028.

Both are hosted on Mexico's Pacific coast around Puerto Vallarta and blend swim / bike / run with recovery, yoga and the culture of the region. Small groups. Warm water. Real food.
