🇲🇽 Puerto Escondido (Pacific Coast) While others will be staying 10 days - your stay includes 3 nights in Puerto Escondido - in a villa just steps from the beach in Puerto Escondido, a laid-back surf town on Mexico’s Pacific coast. Golden sunsets, wild beaches, and slow mornings set the tone. Optional adventures include beach hopping, boat tours, turtle release, surfing or yoga – or simply doing nothing. Evenings end with Sunset Circles on the rooftop: golden-hour gatherings where we share stories, laugh and connect without pressure. 🌅🌊 🇲🇽 Yucatán/ Playa del Carmen (Caribbean Coast) Next, we head east to Playa del Carmen on the Riviera Maya for a total of 9 nights. Here it’s turquoise water, cenotes hidden in the jungle and Mayan ruins like Chichén Itzá. Days can mean ferry rides to Cozumel or Isla Mujeres, snorkeling reefs, floating underground rivers – or a big night out at Coco Bongo. It’s a vibrant contrast to the Pacific, combining culture, nightlife, and natural wonders in one stop. 🌴🏖 ‣ This trip is for you if you’re craving freedom, fun and real moments with like-minded travelers. Not alone – but together. ‣ We’re aiming for a group aged approx. 25–45 (we are 36 and 38). NO coaching. NO pressure. Just a vibe: slow mornings, salty hair, belly laughs and moments you didn’t know you needed. 🤩 #NotAnotherRetreat #SunsetCircles #TravelDeeper
Hey! I'm Ellis - passionate traveler, team player, and lover of spontaneous adventures, good conversations, and beach sunsets. 🏝 I've traveled a lot together with my boyfriend (Co-TripLeader Mario), but honestly? The best memories were always the ones shared - laughing over street food, figuring out bus routes together or just sitting in silence watching the ocean. 🌊 I'm someone who genuinely loves bringing people together, curious, chill, a bit chaotic sometimes - but always down for a deep talk, insider jokes or a good coffee 😍☕️😅 This trip is about traveling, connecting and creating something real together. A small crew, good vibes, local food and those little moments that stay with you long after we're back home. I don't expect anyone to be super outgoing or follow the group all the time. We can go party or just play board games - some activities are included but with enough room for me time or spontaneous activities. COME AS STRANGERS- LEAVE AS FRIENDS ✨️
🛏 Accomodation: • Puerto Escondido: We'll stay in a private villa with pool, garden and a dreamy rooftop terrace (we even have housekeeping) - perfect for sunsets, slow mornings or late night chats. • Playa del Carmen: We’ll stay in bright, modern apartments with private balcony and terrace, just a short walk from the beach and 5th Avenue. The building has a shared rooftop with pool and lounge area overlooking the city – perfect for cooling off after a day at the cenotes or watching the sky turn pink in the evenings. For groups of 7+ we’ll have two apartments in the same building, so everyone has enough space but we’re still together under one roof. All Rooms are shared between two people - either with one double or twin beds, depending on availability. I'll try to pair same-gender roommates whenever possible 🏡

We'll meet on at our villa in Puerto Escondido on Monday, Nov 3rd. Check in is after 3 pm (earlier if available) You can fly in via Mexico City or Cancun and book a separate flight to Puerto Escondido Airport. From the airport to the villa it is approx. a 15 - 30 min ride depending on traffic. Please provide according information so we can arrange airport pick up. Optional activities include: - baby turtle release - beach days - bioluminescence tours - surfing classes - boat tours (sunset paty or dolphin watching) - day trip to nearby beaches/ towns - mezcal tasting - Cooking class - nightlife/ pub crawl And much more! There's no set itinerary – just beach days, rooftop sunsets & optional adventures. Our villa is tucked away in a quiet street of La Punta / Emiliano Zapata - the heart of Puerto Escondido's laid-back surf scene. Expect sandy streets, sunset beach bars, local taco spots and cute cafés all around. You'll reach the beach in about 10-12 minutes on foot, and from there it's pura vida: surfing, chilling, swimming or just people-watching with a coconut in hand. Puerto Escondido and La Punta is hip without trying to be. It feels a little like Tulum or Bali before Instagram found it.

Playa del Carmen
Day 4-13
After Puerto Escondido we head to Playa del Carmen for a few days on the Riviera Maya. Expect turquoise beaches, cenote adventures, Mayan culture, and lively nightlife. Perfect mix of relaxation, exploration and fun with the group. We'll visit Xcaret Park for an adventurous day and have a day trip to Cozumel, the neighboring island where we can snorkel or just enkoy the day on the beach/ boat.

Mérida
Day 13
🌆 Optional Add-on: Overnight Stay in Mérida Mérida, the capital of Yucatán, is a colorful colonial city known as the “White City.” Spending a night here means diving deeper into authentic Mexican culture: strolling through pastel-colored streets, exploring local markets full of Yucatecan food, and enjoying the evening buzz at Plaza Grande. By staying overnight instead of rushing through on a day trip, we’ll have time to wander at our own pace, discover street music, and maybe even catch one of Mérida’s cultural performances or light shows at the cathedral. It’s the perfect contrast to the beach life of Playa del Carmen – less touristy, but full of charm and local history.
4
Holbox
Day 13
🏝 Optional Add-on: Overnight Stay in Holbox Holbox is the definition of island escape. After taking the ferry from Chiquilá, you’ll find sandy streets with no cars, colorful murals, and hammocks strung up over turquoise water. Staying overnight makes all the difference: you can watch the sunset at Punta Cocos, rent bikes or golf carts to explore the island by day, and – if the season allows – see the magical bioluminescence glow in the water at night. The vibe is slow, bohemian, and carefree. While Playa del Carmen has energy and nightlife, Holbox is all about slowing down and soaking up nature’s magic, waking up to the sound of waves.
