HARAMARA is a sacred Huichol word for “Mother Sea.” One of the most sacred of all Huichol Mountains is visible from the Yoga and Meditation room at Haramara. The beaches that surround Haramara are beautiful and secluded. The Pacific Ocean water is inviting to swim in; the sandy beaches are private, expansive and very special. The beach vista with the backdrop of mountains and jungle terrain descending to the sea, along with the many fascinating rock formations, make the ocean setting quite dramatic. Their swimming pool is scheduled to be built by the time we visit.

RETREAT SITE: Haramara is located 40 miles north of Puerto Vallarta. Once you get to Haramara, you may not wish to leave, except for a nice afternoon walk down quiet jungle trails to nearby Sayulita, a quaint, picturesque fishing village with a vibrant, active town square. The Sayulita ocean area is an ecologically protected zone. The surf that breaks in front of the village is world renown and surfboards are available to rent. In addition, there are lots of small shops to visit and streets to explore. It is easy to find a taxi in front of the local ice cream shop for a short ride back to Haramara.

ACCOMODATIONS: The simple beauty of the accommodations will win your heart, as your senses awaken and you become one with nature. The separate open-air casitas are spacious with two luxurious double beds. Two of the guest rooms will accommodate triple occupancy. Each casita has a sitting area and unique and private bathroom, with a partially open wall inviting the beauty of the jungle and ocean into view. Each casita has a private outdoor hot shower designed for lavish and relaxing pleasure. The palapas have been hand-built into the jungle mountainsides; built in a vernacular style of the Pacific Coast of Mexico. They are of the finest tropical woods (parota), with spacious rooms, private bathrooms and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean or mountain views in a jungle setting. The palapas and casitas provide a feeling of calm and comfort. Electricity has been intentionally omitted; candles or kerosene lamps provide soft lighting and unobstructed views of the stars at night.
At Haramara you will be doing plenty of walking, getting to and from the dinning room, spa and yoga room—it will be a wonderful part of daily movement and exercise for body, mind, and spirit. It’s important to bring comfortable walking shoes for daily use around this property. A list of what to bring will be sent to you on registration; packing will be light and simple.
MEALS: Three meals are included daily, prepared in a clean, healthy and conscious manner. The open air restaurant atop Haramara overlooks the jungle to the ocean. The chef is creative, serving vegetarian style, with organic, regionally grown fruits and vegetables whenever possible. Local fresh fish and seafood are also provided daily. The drinking and cooking water at Haramara is all purified. Meals are presented buffet style. If you have special meal needs, please inform us in advance for optimal satisfaction.
