mar de jade retreat & wellness center

november 8-15, 2025

Come spend a week in paradise on a retreat that will nurture your body and reset your soul.

Mar de Jade  is nestled between the tropical jungle and the pristine sandy beach of Chacala, México.

I fell in love with this magical spot during a family vacation and have returned four times for a deep-dive of Gently Active + Restorative Yoga, massage, Boogie Boarding, Salsa lessons, beach walks into town, shared organic meals on the ocean, and naps by one of the the pools.

   
The resort offers excursions and experiences like snorkeling at Isla Coral, boat charter to fishing spots or a jump-in off of a boat at private beach, Sweat Lodge journey, ATV trip to Waterfalls, guided hikes to Altavista Petroglyphs, rides to nearby beach towns like Sayulita and Mexican Markets, and a tour of Mar de Jades Community Center and Farm.
