Casa Bambu Retreat

Beach days, good food, open horizons

Mexico paid

Some retreats are built around a bell and a timetable; Casa Bambu leans toward a more personal kind of escape. Set in a private beach house on Playa Blanca in Mexico, it pairs time for adventures with room to follow your own pace. The hosts bring complementary skills: one has spent 30 years as a professional photographer, while Shelley has worked as a professional chef for 40 years. Expect a stay shaped around hospitality, food, and curated activities rather than a fixed meditation curriculum. Guests can also make use of amenities including a pool, yoga studio, fitness center, bicycles for rent, and Wi-Fi. Meals can be tailored across a broad range of preferences, from vegan and vegetarian to gluten-free and dairy-free, with meat-inclusive options too. Hosts arrange airport pickup, welcoming guests with a snack, a cold drink, and a warm scented towel. Ask about the itinerary and room arrangements before booking.
