Eco-Lodge at Playa Aragon

Let the coast set your pace

Mexico Santa María Tonameca paid

Some retreats are built around a bell and a timetable; Playa Aragon’s appeal begins with its setting between the sea and the surrounding hills. The Eco-Lodge was imagined nearly four decades ago as a place shaped by nature, and its stated purpose remains refreshingly simple: rest, yoga, and time to reconnect with yourself. The emphasis is on yoga and connection with the natural world, rather than a named meditation method. That makes it a natural fit for travelers who want room to breathe instead of a tightly prescribed spiritual program. The lodge is in Santa María Tonameca, with Bahías de Huatulco International Airport about 31 km away. Retreat details and schedules can vary, so check the current offering before making plans; the center’s website is a good starting point.
