Huatulco, Mexico
Spring, 2026
Are you dreaming of a week away to focus on yourself and your health without competing demands or priorities?
AN ACTIVE RETREAT LIKE NO OTHER
Just imagine spending 7 active days & 6 restful nights in beautiful Huatulco, Mexico, a gem on the pacific coast.
The week away will be filled with morning workouts and beach walks, hiking to hidden waterfalls, ocean paddle boarding (or kayaking), relaxing yoga sessions under the stars, healthy local food, downtime for relaxation, reflection, and health & wellness related workshops.
MMPT Health Retreats are perfect for those looking for an all-inclusive getaway, without the crowds, uninspired buffets, and generic tours. It’s for those who need a moment to turn off and recharge, and let someone else take care of all of the details for them.
The Villa is expansive and has plenty of space for quiet moments of relaxation and beautiful gathering spaces to chat and connect with new, like-minded friends. We have a beautiful private infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a semi-private beach down a set of stairs (shown in photo to the left below), and a massive yoga deck where we can stretch while breathing in the pacific ocean air or gaze at the starlight sky after a fun day together.
This is a vacation like no other. If a combination of active adventure and restful recharge sounds like just your style, I’d love for you to join me.
At the Retreat you will:
Disconnect from the stresses and demands of your everyday life and focus on yourself.
Experience the incredible mental and emotional health benefits of connecting with nature.
Learn proper form and technique for exercises.
Connect with like-minded people.
Learn healthy meal options and how you can easily prepare them at home.
Set some kick-ass goals and realistic milestones that will help you achieve them. You will develop a solid plan that you can put into action and get started on immediately!
Your Retreat Hosts
Meet Marisa Mae
Hi! I’m Marisa and I would love to hang out with you for a week in stunning Huatulco, a quiet beachside town on the southwestern part of Mexico. I've been coming to this area for over 15 years and it's one of my favourites! I'd love to share this special part of the world with you, in an active way. I will be your trainer all week and will be leading the group through workouts, beach runs, yoga sessions and facilitating a few health & wellness workshops. This is your retreat, so everything is optional. All exercises can be modified, non-runners can walk and yoga will be geared to various levels of stretchiness (or non-stretchiness!)
Meet Esther & Roberto Tamayo
Hey! Esther and Roberto will be our talented chefs, preparing delicious meals for us all week long. Hailing from Mexico City, these two bring a wonderful sense of family and joy to the Retreat. Collaborating closely, we will craft nutritious dishes using fresh, local ingredients, infusing your plates with the true essence of Mexico. Their culinary creations are bound to leave you utterly enchanted. Not only that, but they are also among the kindest individuals I've had the pleasure of meeting. If you're eager to learn their culinary secrets, they would be delighted to share their expertise. Additionally, you'll have the chance to polish your Spanish language skills as an added bonus.
