Where Is This Retreat?

Where Is This Retreat?

Your retreat home away from home feels off-the-grid in all the right ways but is just an hour north of Cabo San Lucas and a little more than an hour from the Los Cabos airport. In order to use the one-time retreat provided transfer service you'll want to arrive between 1 pm - 3 pm on the first day of the retreat into the San Jose del Cabo International Airport (SJD).

Slow Living Baja Vibes

Slow Living Baja Vibes

Our retreat center is designed for comfort, connection, and ease. It aims to be a low-impact part of the developing region of Baja Mexico. You might hear waves, roosters, or music from the beach — all part of the rhythm of Mexico. This is part of the experience — being here means embracing Baja as she is. If you value beauty, warmth, and genuine connection over polish, you’ll feel right at home.

Reviews

sisenorbeach

Not to be dramatic, but Anna was born to do this. She approaches retreat-planning so confidently, it's hard not to feel at ease, even as an anxious traveler. I don't think there was a single scheduling snafu or hiccup the entire time we were in Mexico—and if there was, she did an excellent job of hiding it! Anna truly enjoys connecting people, putting together well-priced and well-balanced travel plans, and spreading her love of international culture. I look forward to my next retreat with Above Yoga.

Anna's attention to every detail is beyond compare! From the moment we booked our retreat, her communication with us was timely and just the right amount. I felt comfortable upon arrival, at every excursion, to our departure. The Villa was absolutely perfect: clean, safe, private and beautiful. The schedule was clear and organized but also allowed for a lot of flexibility and spontaneity - a great balance for a retreat/vacation. Anna's calm energy was also super-appreciated. Even though I know she was working very hard behind the scenes, she always was relaxed, calm and organized which helped all of us, I think, feel the same way during the entire retreat. Truly excellent!

Wonderful trip with a nice blend of yoga, sightseeing and unique experiences like the sailboat sunset cruise. The group was small but delightful and easy to get to know. The villa was fabulous and so much nicer than staying in a hotel. The property (incl. the rooms) was stunning, the roof top pool magnificent and the location (only a couple of blocks from the ocean) perfect.

I could not more highly recommend Above Yoga retreats!! Anna is so communicative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, making the whole process of traveling during the uncertainty of COVID as easy as possible! She always seemed to anticipate every question we could possibly have. We had never attended an in-person yoga class before this trip and appreciated how accessible and judgment-free Anna’s classes were. The trip had a perfect balance of activity, relaxation, cultural experiences, and good food. We had such an amazing experience that we spent the last night of this trip planning the next Above Yoga retreat that we wanted to go on!

Villa was amazing, perfect space, a little tight when all people were participating in yoga class but not bad. The meals were amazing, the events organized as well. Anna you have a real niche for this. The experience was memorable. My wife and I already miss it.

Anna is prompt in communication. I really appreciated her keeping in contact with us during COVID. She was always open to being asked questions. The retreat venue felt like paradise. The staff we interacted with were very welcoming. I only attended one yoga class and never felt any type of pressure to do more. I can’t wait to go back.
