Palmaïa — The House of AïA PLAYA DEL CARMEN, MEXICO
Where mind, body and soul reconnect in a secluded paradise. Discover the only resort in the world designed around healthy living and immerse yourself in Progressive Wellness - a specially designed and curated retreat experience
Surrounded by 988 acres of jungle and only 45 minutes from Cancun airport lies Palmaïa -The House of AïA, a secluded wellness sanctuary on the beachfront with all oceanfront suites, jungle Spa, gourmet restaurants, food truck, Café and 24hr room service; all featuring clean-eating menus and their bespoke healing concept called Progressive Wellness - a non-restrictive, easy & fun way to live a healthy life. The Progressive Wellness journey starts
with food at its core, after all, what we feed our body has the most fundamental impact on our health. This healthy food system is based on predominantly plant-based menus executed with the highest level of creativity, quality and taste, meeting all guests where they feel comfortable with some non-vegan options as well - no pressure, no judgment. Progressive Wellness is also about self-
discovery, where guests can choose the level of healing they want, how much to learn and how profound they want their experience

to be. It’s also about enjoying life in a fun, sustainable manner, creating a better vision of the world through the principles of compassion, understanding, and respect for nature and ourselves, acknowledging we are all one and thus we should treat all life, including the planet, with respect and divinity. This unique balance is achieved through
the retreat-like experience provided by a support structure built around health, which just happens to be the resort. From holistic programmes, visiting guides, music events and festivals, to the interaction with local communities, health discourse and healthy food cooking lessons, all is possible thanks to their in-house guides, nutritionists, musicians, artists and every community of visitors that stays at Palmaïa, who are all pursuing the same goals and living by the same principles. The property’s comprehensive holistic
program, the Architects of Life (AOL) offers an array of over 30 practices, rituals, ceremonies
and health activities, inviting guests to partake in the daily schedule of nature-immersed experiences: guided meditations, pre-hispanic cleansing rituals, yoga, sound healing, cacao ceremonies, soul readings, temazcal and holistic nutrition workshops, where everything is included in the cost of the stay, along with food and beverages. The pristine beach with its turquoise waters,
white dunes, wild mangroves, freshwater cenotes and thick jungle are just some of the ecosystems that embrace and become Palmaïa. The sensation of being connected and nurtured by nature is matched only by the property’s goal of bringing transformative experiences to everyone who makes Palmaïa their home away from home. The feeling of being among family, friends and community sets The House of AïA apart from other luxury wellness retreats and resorts. Nestled between the lush wilderness and a
natural cenote is Atlantis Spa. Five temples serve as healing cocoons where the energetic centers
in the body are awakened and aligned in the expert hands of master healers. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views of the jungle with the occasional visit of coatis, monkeys, iguanas, and other wildlife. Kids are welcome to enjoy Progressive
Wellness in a Waldorf-inspired children’s center, where a team of caring childcare professionals combines indoor and outdoor activities to keep the children engaged and entertained, respecting each child as a sovereign individual who is growing and discovering the world at their own pace within a loving community. Evenings come to life with the Rituals of
Sound sessions at Eolo, a captivating Mykonos- style Beach Club where guests can delight in a laid-back atmosphere and nourish themselves through music, dance, and sharing a great drink with friends. It’s a powerful crowning on the day’s adventures to congregate by the fire pit that sits on the white sand beach and listen to the curated deep beats of a live DJ set under the starlit sky. It brings a sense of community,
making guests feel more grounded and connected to one another. We are not all destined to be monks on the
mountain, but the wisdom of the mountain carries all in its shadow. Progressive Wellness states that one does not need to eat sticks and twigs to be healthy and sound. The feeling of replenishment delivered through this kind of camaraderie and laughter is as old as time itself. A critical part of this is nourishing oneself through music, dance, and sharing a great drink with friends. The House of AïA offers a laid-back atmosphere, where guests can join the music by beating drums, dancing to fusion beats, or just sitting back and enjoying the music from local and visiting DJs. It’s a powerful crowning on the day’s adventures to congregate by the fire pit that sits on the white sand beach. After all, the goal of being sound of mind, body and soul is to be happy and by following a Progressive Wellness lifestyle, and at Palmaia The House of AïA, it’s finally within reach in a way that is truly sustainable and lasting.
