Heart of the Earth, Soul of the Sea
An intimate, eco-conscious wellness retreat on Oaxaca’s wild coast.
Oaxaca, Mexico
February 2-7, 2027
Five nights to step away from the noise, live a little closer to nature, and let yourself be taken care of.
Wake to the sound of the Pacific. Begin your mornings with yoga. Share fresh meals prepared for you. Swim, wander, rest, laugh, experience local traditions, and remember what it feels like to move through your days without rushing to the next thing.
Our home for the week is a small, environmentally conscious retreat center perched above the beaches of Oaxaca.
Our home for the week is a small, environmentally conscious retreat center perched on a hilltop above the beaches of San Agustinillo, Mazunte, and Playa Aragon.
Its intentionally rustic.
Natural-material cabins. Open-air living. Composting toilets. Water-conscious barrel showers. Ocean views instead of polished resort amenities.
This isn’t a luxury hotel experience.
It’s a different kind of luxury: simplicity, space, nature, thoughtful care, and the freedom to unplug from everyday life.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more like yourself.
Step outside your normal environment long enough to hear yourself again.
For five days, you won’t need to plan the meals, organize the activities, decide where everyone is going, or keep up with the pace of life at home.
You’ll have structure when it feels good and spaciousness when you need it.
Practice yoga overlooking the ocean.
Experience the warmth and ritual of a traditional Temazcal ceremony.
Receive a 90-minute Mayan massage.
Head out on the water in search of whales, turtles, and dolphins.
Explore Ayurveda.
Walk into town.
Read in a hammock. Swim. Nap. Journal. Talk late into the evening with women you may have only met days before.
“Polina led a great trip. Perfect balance of healing experiences and exploring the beaches and small towns of the area. The Ayurvedic workshop was so interesting, reiki session deeply relaxing, boat outing seeing whales, sea turtles, pods of dolphins with their young so much fun, beautiful beaches. The retreat center could not have been nicer, high on the bluffs with gorgeous ocean views, the sounds of the crashing waves and the wind through the room made for amazing sleep. Delicious healthy vegetarian food, expertly led yoga every morning, wonderful massage and a temazcal ceremony I will never forget: incredibly physically demanding yet felt ultimately purifying, incredible. Would love to come back again. Thank you Polina for an amazing experience!”

What your days might feel like
This is not a retreat where every hour of your day is scheduled.
There will be daily practices, shared experiences, meals, excursions, and plenty of opportunities to connect, alongside room to rest, explore, swim, journal, or simply do nothing.
A day might begin with morning yoga and breakfast overlooking the water.
Later, we may head into town, gather for an Ayurveda workshop, experience a Temazcal ceremony, or spend an afternoon out on the ocean.
And there will also be moments with nowhere you have to be.
Because sometimes the most restorative part of getting away is finally having enough space to follow your own rhythm.

Your home for the week.
The cabins at Rancho Cerro Largo reflect the spirit of this retreat: grounded, sustainable, intimate, and deeply connected to the surrounding landscape.
They are rustic by design, built using natural materials and environmentally conscious practices. That includes composting toilets and water-conserving barrel showers rather than conventional resort bathrooms. We want you to know that before you arrive because for the right person, it’s part of what makes this place so special.
If your ideal getaway requires a traditional luxury hotel, room service, and polished resort amenities, this probably isn’t your retreat. But if the thought of waking above the Pacific, spending more time outdoors, living simply for a few days, and experiencing Oaxaca in a way that feels close to the land sounds refreshing then you may absolutely love it here.
Intentionally simple. Naturally beautiful.
Accommodations
Single or double occupancy rooms available.
“I had the privilege of attending a women’s Ayurveda retreat in Oaxaca with Polina & it was truly life changing. She is an amazing host and couldn’t have planned a better week myself. We had amazing food, the most gorgeous views, insightful Ayurveda workshops and massages to name a few. 100/10 would recommend. So soul nourishing.”

A note about the retreat center
We believe transparency is part of creating a beautiful experience.
This is an eco-conscious, rustic retreat, not a conventional beachfront resort.
The accommodations are simple and environmentally minded. Bathrooms include composting toilets and barrel showers designed to conserve water.
There may be bugs.
You will spend a lot of time outdoors.
Things may feel a little more elemental than they do at home.
And that is very much part of why we’re going.
If that makes you smile rather than panic, you’re probably our kind of person.
