Winter Solstice Yoga Retreat

 with Mark Stephens

Haramara, Mexico
Dec. 20–27, 2025

8 Days & 7 Nights at a Seaside Eco-Paradise

The Daily Flow

There are infinite possibilities for how you make this retreat your own.
Here’s the basic flow of a typical day — join in as you please!

Sunrise meditation & pranayama, light breakfast (coffee/tea service starts at 6:30), mid-morning yoga class, lunch, mid-day workshops & activities (hanging out on the beach, swimming in the ocean or heated pool, yoga workshops, excursions, getting a massage, napping in a hammock, surfing, reading, exploring nearby Sayulita...), late afternoon yin/restorative yoga class, dinner, evening programs (talks, meditation, satsang, movies...).

Perhaps the greatest gift of a yoga retreat is one another. At Haramara, there’s abundant time for free-flowing conversation — on the land, at the beach, while sharing meals, or simply hanging out. Here, you may find those with whom you most resonate: kindred spirits, fellow travelers, even soulmates.

The Daily Yoga Program

Accommodations

Eco-luxurious open air casitas with spectacular views of the jungle and ocean are sprinkled along the paths leading from the reception and restaurant area down to the beach.

Each casita has its own private bathroom (larger casitas have more), hot open air showers, comfortable beds, awe-inspiring panoramic views, candles and gas lanterns make the casitas as charming and serene as can be.

We offer a variety of accommodations: single, double, triple, quadruple and group (up to 8 – women only) occupancy casitas.

Rates vary based on occupancy – see pricing details below.

Food & Dining

Sharing food and conversation is one of the great highlights of all our retreats at Haramara. The food is truly divine — nourishing the body and uplifting the spirit.

Haramara's chefs prepare exquisite meals using local organic produce and seafood caught fresh daily. If you are vegan or have other special food interests, the kitchen staff will happily prepare your meals accordingly.

The food is all organic, clean, healthy, delicious and beautifully presented.

The dining pavilion is a romantic yet spacious ridge-top palapa overlooking the jungle and sea.

Getting to Haramara

Haramara is located about 40 minutes from Puerto Vallarta International Airport and about a mile outside the quaint seaside town of Sayulita.

After booking your flight intoPuerto Vallarta, give us your flight itinerary so we can arrange your local shuttle to take you directly from the airport arrival area to Haramara.

There is no need for a car unless you want to explore the larger region of Nayarit (which is fantastically beautiful). When you arrive at the airport, you will meet your shuttle driver in a designated place in the Arrivals area for a seamless transition to Haramara.
