A sustainable boutique beach retreat roughly 35 minutes south of the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa airport, built between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre foothills.

Playa Viva Sustainable Wellness Retreat is a boutique beach property near Juluchuca on Guerrero's Costa Grande, roughly 35 minutes south of the Zihuatanejo-Ixtapa airport, built on the strip of land between the Pacific Ocean and the Sierra Madre del Sur foothills. Programming centers on yoga sessions overlooking the Pacific, guided meditation, and sustainability-focused activities such as turtle-conservation walks tied to the region's sea-turtle nesting beaches, with the retreat drawing its identity from environmentally regenerative building and operating practices rather than a conventional resort model. Yoga and meditation sessions are led by the retreat's resident instructors, and meals are prepared from the property's own organic farm, giving the food program a direct connection to on-site agriculture rather than outside sourcing. Facilities include open-air yoga spaces facing the ocean, the organic farm, and guest accommodation built with sustainable materials suited to the beach-and-foothill setting, with the multi-day format meaning guests stay on site throughout their program. Programs typically run three to seven days with scheduled daily activities. Booking is by full package for the length of stay rather than single drop-in sessions, and given the retreat's remote coastal location, advance reservation is necessary. Pricing runs from roughly MXN 10,000 to MXN 30,000 per person, varying with program length and room type.
