Dietary preferences and needs will be gathered in advance and shared with the villa chef so meals can support the group as thoughtfully as possible. We will do our best to accommodate dietary needs, though highly specialized diets may require additional planning.

As with any international travel, we encourage you to stay informed and make choices that feel supportive for your comfort level. Akumal is a well-known destination in the Riviera Maya, and we recommend using trusted transportation, staying aware of your surroundings, and reviewing current travel guidance before your trip.

Villa Bellamar also provides additional support on site, including 24/7 security, a night guard, in-room safes, and daily housekeeping. We’ll also provide trusted transfer recommendations and arrival guidance to help support a smooth experience.

Sargassum is a natural seaweed that can affect beaches throughout the Caribbean and Riviera Maya. Our retreat takes place in December, which is generally a lower-risk time than the spring and summer peak season. That said, ocean conditions are natural and can change, so we cannot guarantee seaweed-free beaches.

Villa Bellamar is located directly on Half Moon Bay, and there will be a gardener/groundskeeper on site who can help keep the beach area as clear as possible if seaweed is present. The retreat is designed to offer beauty, rest, practice, and spaciousness whether the ocean is perfectly clear or moving through a natural cycle.

The retreat is designed to feel spacious, personal, and well-held. Final group size will depend on the room configuration and the balance of shared and private rooms, but the intention is to create a connected group experience with enough space for rest, privacy, and personal integration.

Yes. Daily housekeeping is provided at Villa Bellamar, so the space will be cared for throughout the retreat. This is part of the support that allows you to soften into the week and focus on rest, practice, and integration.

Retreat arrivals take place on Monday, December 7 from 3:00–6:30pm, with welcome dinner at 7:00pm. If you arrive in Akumal earlier in the day, we can suggest nearby lunch spots where you can relax before check-in.
