Accommodations
Depending on the number of people and time of the year, our retreats are hosted at a beautiful spacious villa (8-10 people), an eco-friendly boutique hotel (4-6 people), or luxury apartment suites (4-6 people). To give you an idea of the quality of our accommodations, here are a few of our top picks:
| Villa Grace | Hotel Ventanas al Mar | Suites Turquesa |
|
Villa Grace is an upscale villa, tucked away on the beautiful north shore of Cozumel, about 5km from town center. It’s a perfect location for long and tranquil beach walks along the stunning turquoise blue of the ocean. |
Ventanas al Mar is located on the unspoilt, rugged East Coast, about 18km from town center. This beautiful, intimate, eco-friendly hotel is a perfect place to relax and enjoy the unrestricted views of the Caribbean, with its white powder sand and sparkling waves. |
Suites Turquesa offers a delightful alternative to hotel accommodations. One-bedroom apartment suites ensure all the comforts of home away from home. Located on the rocky north shore of Cozumel, it is a perfect spot for swimming and amazing snorkeling. |
