Xinalani has 33 oceanfront rooms with a total capacity of 74 people. All accommodations are beachfront, spacious, and palm-thatched cabins floating on stilts. Suites and rooms were designed with refined elegance, built, and furnished by local artisans. Their cozy interiors inspire feelings of calm and serenity. You will enjoy the closeness of the natural elements, the stimulation of the open-air private showers, and the stunning views of Puerto Vallarta and the Pacific Ocean from your terrace.
Since its very beginning, Xinalani has taken the pledge to offer a more affordable option for budget-conscious travelers that seek to build community. Big Palapa (880 square feet) is a dorm-style room that inspires community and friendship. It features very comfortable single beds each with its own mosquito netting providing lots of privacy.
With a great view of the jungle and the ocean, Big Palapa is the perfect option for cost-wary travelers that do not mind sharing their room. The room has eight single beds and two bathrooms. It can be co-ed or strictly girls. In Big Palapa, there is a single drawer below each bed to store personal belongings. The room is equipped with safe deposit boxes.
As a sustainable eco-resort, this property serves as a sanctuary for wildlife. Its privileged location in the heart of the jungle and on the beach provides companionship with humpback whales, bottlenose dolphins, iguanas, and various bird species, including parakeets, parrots, macaws, and woodpeckers.
Program
This retreat was handcrafted for women and men looking to escape to the warmth and serenity of tropical Mexico. Reward your body, strengthen your spirit, and connect yourself with other yogis on a similar journey. The yoga and surf retreat was designed not only to offer respite from the stresses and stagnation of your normal routine but also to provide an opportunity to meet other health and yoga enthusiasts during your time here at the resort.
Whether you're a total beginner or a seasoned yogi and surfer, learn new techniques in the yoga and surf classes. Pamper your body and let the tension melt away. Xilani Retreat's expert therapists’ hands will leave you feeling light, reenergized, and deeply relaxed.
Bask in the peaceful serenity of the jungle and the pristine beaches and connect with your peers all in one retreat. Calm the mind and soothe the body with six days of yoga, great waves, healthy-gourmet dining, meditation, and activities - all in the setting of a secluded beach accessible only by boat and surrounded by lush, mountain jungle.
Classes are subject to ocean conditions. They have boards that you can use. Check with Xilani about what they have available or bring your own board.

Instructors
Arjuna Valero
Arjuna is a yoga instructor who seeks to motivate the student to find and consciously define among the wide variety of yoga styles the practice that is best suited to his anatomy and personal search. Arjuna had contact with his first physical practices of yoga in his childhood and early adolescence, but it was not until the age of 16 that he began to deepen in the different areas of knowledge that yoga offers as a way of life. At that same age, he was invited to take his first certification focused on traditional Hatha yoga (Sivananda style) under the teachings of Olinka Villanue.
Jerry Félix
Gerardo Félix, also known as Jerry, is not only a yoga instructor but also a neurologist who specializes in mindful eating and vegan nutrition. He sees yoga as a great way to help improve and create a better version of oneself. In an environment of kindness and respect, he leads his students through a practice adapted to their needs, where they can lift their spirits and leave the room with more awareness. Since 2015 Jerry started the joyful path of teaching. He got his Vinyasa yoga teacher certification in Mexico. Then in 2016, he studied Yin and Restorative yoga with Maria Abad and Bernie.
