This eco-resort is customized for yoga retreats and aims to reduce its impact on the environment.
Xinalani’s accommodations, though not actually built into trees, are on stilts among them, and they were designed without modifying the terrain or using concrete. Located in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, the resort can only be reached by boat and sits on the immaculate shores of Banderas Bay.
While the location and facilities have plenty to offer on their own, the fact that the hotel emphasizes yoga may well be a big factor in its success.
According to yoga consultant Tamara Machavariani, yoga is a growing wellness trend, with 20-25 percent more people practicing it every year. Did we mention that they’re spending money on it? That too.
