The experience from beginning to end was amazing. Highly recommend for anyone looking to rest, reset, and recharge. The staff was very hospitable, the property was beautiful and the plant-based cuisine was great, even for a meat eater like me. The wellness programming was great too, from the traditional Temazcal ceremony, pranayama, yoga and the meditation concert among other things. We will be going back soon!

It's such a gift to be able to visit Palmaia for the second time. The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. The food is hit or miss, but it's so nice there, you won't care that much. I still managed to gain 4lbs so I clearly ate pretty well! The servers and bartenders are knowledgeable and attentive.
The spa is beautiful and the therapists there are amazing. There are a variety of daily activities.
The nomadic guides, Kasandra and Esteban, are gems!

Everything was amazing. The staff, the spa, the rituals, the layout etc. it’s wonderfully quiet with some dance options in the evening. Only thing is there should be just a few more meat options for us carnivores. Everything else was bliss

I had an incredible stay at Palmaia. From the staff, to the room, restaurants and amenities everything was absolutely amazing. I went by myself and it was very resourcing. Lots of activities such as breathing session, yoga, meditation, gym and spa treatments that are out of this world. The food was terrific and the mocktail list is spectacular. I would recommend without hesitation as a solo traveller, friends or couple. I find it might be a little boring for the kids (depending on your kids!)
Enjoy!
