Within the lush grounds of Mar de Jade, take a refreshing dip in the large swimming pool, wading pool, or Jacuzzi nestled amidst banana trees, bougainvillea flowers, and palm trees. Watch the sunset over the ocean from a reclining beach chair or take a nap in a hammock under the shade of the thatched-roof palapa. Wander on the paths lining the tropical hotel grounds and visit the herb garden, then step right onto Chacala Beach for swimming, paddle-boarding, or kayaking.
The yoga sala offers hardwood floors, ocean views, and floor to ceiling windows and are airy and filled with natural light. El Templo, the largest sala, is a spacious 1,900 square foot hall with an ocean view and a large terrace that looks onto the gardens. Yoga mats, blocks, straps and blankets; meditation cushions are all provided.
Amidst one of the exotic and quiet gardens there is a large outdoor Jacuzzi, a cold plunge pool and chaise lounge chairs. On the second level, there are private treatment rooms with gorgeous jungle views where you can feel pampered with a relaxing massage or beauty treatment. Follow a secret path through palm trees to visit the Temazcal, an ancient Aztec sweat lodge, for a guided ceremony. This Mexican tradition has been kept alive since pre-Hispanic times as a means to purify the body and mind. This special ceremony will form one of the most unique elements of their Mexico training.
