Join a likeminded community of eco-entrepreneurs, spiritual seekers, wellness fanatics and other curious and open minded individuals as they gather to live the best version of themselves. Discover how easy it is to have your dream wellness vacation; where every health aspect of your life unfolds effortlessly. Palmaïa is for those who want to be healthy and connect with a likeminded community, for this reason the entire concept was created around our retreat experience called AïAWellness.
Palmaïa is a Wellness Resort on a beautiful beach, where you can vacation while living a healthy lifestyle. Vacation does not have to equal over-indulgence, in fact, if you eat from our more than 200+ recommended dishes at our six food locations, as much as you want, you will probably lose weight.
We have 234 well appointed suites whose design reflects the textures and colors of nature that surround you. We have a beautiful Spa in the jungle that is as magical and mystical as the medicine-men and women who take care of our guests. We are also child-friendly, where children can gather at our children’s club called Awen, based on Waldorf principles, we teach art, creativity and connection to nature.
Oceanfront Suites
Immerse yourself in mindful luxury. All oceanfront private king suites to family suites are designed to make you relax and feel connected to the natural elements within and around Palmaïa. Respecting nature, all suites are free of animal products choosing compassion over violence, as reflected in our Principles.
The 4 Houses of AïAWellness
The Nourishing Biome is a unique food program only available at Palmaïa, where everything you eat is designed for optimal health. Instead of dictating what you should eat, we simplify by removing the most toxic ingredients in the modern food system. This empowers you to freely experiment and enjoy healthy food options.
The Architects of Life programming includes more than 50 holistic and health activities carried out every week by our in-house and visiting guides. AïAWellness is designed to include an integration structure around the program which includes one-on-one* sessions with our Guides as well as the support of all our Community.
The Rituals of Sound create casual gatherings for this purpose, held at beautiful locations where deep beats nourish the soul. No wellness experience can be complete without the use of energy, frequency and sound as part of the healing process.
The House of AïA ignites the invisible divide between what you believe and what is possible, reigniting the belief in Magic that you lost as a child. It is your house, the place where you gravitate to and feel comfortable during every step of your journey. It is your connection to oneness and nature that, once established, will be your guide to divinity – the life path you were designed to follow. Only you will know the moment you enter The House of AïA

Atlantis Spa emerges as a mystical sanctuary nestled among ancient rock formations, lush jungle, natural cenotes and endemic mangroves. Within this oasis, the ancient wisdom of indigenous healing is practiced by skilled medicine-men and women whose knowledge in many cases has been passed down through generations.

Words from the founder Alex Ferri: If you consider coming to Palmaïa, I urge you to have an open mind, be willing to experiment and be compassionate with yourself. We have created a resort meant to awaken something inside, offering a range of experiences to boost your health, help you form new habits and satisfy your curiosity. You just need to come and live the experience. We know it is not easy to change habits. Because we believe that restrictive systems don’t work, we offer you constraints here. We are probably the only place in the world where you can eat as much as you wish and likely weigh less by the end of your stay. There is really no place in the world where health is so effortless.
I hope you feel what many of us feel at Palmaïa. The energy here is certainly different and profound. I believe it has to do with the fact that we occupy sacred Mayan land, a place where three large underwater rivers join in the mangrove area at the back of the hotel. There, they flow into the ocean under the Rituals Deck, past the AïA sculpture, and into the ocean… a perfect metaphor for what I know will happen to you when you visit. Above all, I hope that you can come to Palmaïa and live a beautiful experience, while finding the path to your healing journey. The solution is not always near or easy, but the important thing is to find the beginning of the path. It feels like I have done so much work, yet the journey still goes on. We seek never ending knowledge and learn—some say forever. I like to think that everything happens when it has to happen, because divinity loves us all and love is forever.

in the last weekFirst time here with high expectations. Booked about a few weeks in advance and was anxious everyday until arrival watching daily videos of others reviews. First and foremost this is exactly what its set out to be. Relaxation. Not your typical all you can drink resort where all you want to do is drink. The swim up pool room we booked was amazing. Very clean and the 2 times a day cleaning is great. We go for breakfast and they cleaned. We go for dinner and they cleaned again. Loved it. The daily schedule was meaningful and rejuvenating. Many class and ceremony’s to chose from from yoga, mediation classes to breath work classes, even classical violin or piano concerts. Everything was soothing. If your looking for live exciting entertainment, this is not it. You go here to relax!! Even the beach club vibes were wind-down electric music with a fire pit and live DJ for a good portion of the night. We visited the beach club every night to wine-down for the night. Drinks were all health conscious with the Option to add alcohol. Foods was the same. All plant based with some options of protien. We are vegan so it worked perfect. They always asked if there were any allergies before serving drinks or food which made us feel safe. All the food was delicious. Many variety of flavors from different parts of the world coming together. 4 restaurants to choose from aswell as the taco truck and insuite dining. Oh and staff, super friendly. We also had a personal nomadic guide who we communicated through text for ANYTHING we needed. Great add on. Would definitely return for another trip. PS. There was a hidden deposit needed at check in that we were not aware about to cover any extras. Besides that. Great experience.

in the last weekOur fourth stay at Palmaïa (years of 21,22,23,26) – The House of AïA was nothing short of magical—once again confirming why we keep coming back. This place is more than a resort; it’s a true sanctuary for the body and soul. The wellness experience here is exceptional—daily yoga, sound and vibration therapy, and mindful activities create a deep sense of renewal and balance. Every session feels intentional and authentic, especially the beautiful yoga practices led by Olga and the unforgettable cacao ceremonies guided by such warm and inspiring facilitators. The sound and vibration therapy with Chris was on another level—deeply immersive and healing. It’s rare to find experiences that stay with you long after they end, but this is definitely one of them. The food quality continues to impress us every time—fresh, creative, nourishing, and absolutely delicious. Dining here feels aligned with the entire wellness philosophy of the resort. A special shoutout as well to Sergio at the taco truck—such a highlight every time! The spa experience deserves its own praise—the massages were absolutely incredible, and the SPA masseuses brought a level of skill, care, and intuition that made each session deeply relaxing and restorative. A very special thank you to the incredible team who made our stay so memorable: At Su Casa: Val and Wendy for their warmth and care, Luis and Arthuro for their outstanding service and attention to detail Raul at LEK for an exceptional dining experience Oscar, our wonderful nomadic guide, for making every moment meaningful David, our driver, for always being reliable and kind Eva, water painting art classes. It’s the people who truly make Palmaïa feel like home. Their genuine energy and dedication elevate the entire experience. We leave feeling recharged, inspired, and already dreaming about our fifth visit 💛

in the last weekWe thoroughly enjoyed our stay at PalmAiA. The concept of combining a beach holiday with detox, yoga, and holistic sessions is truly unique. Walking around the hotel felt like stepping into a jungle paradise; we spotted coatis, monkeys, various types of birds and iguanas. Each morning, we participated in yoga sessions, which set a positive tone for our day. The spa treatments were a highlight, and we appreciated the quality and variety. Our entire family, including our teenage kids, loved the menu. While it is primarily vegetarian, we could add chicken or fish. The staff members everywhere: restaurants, beach, spa, cleaning services were consistently helpful and attentive. The nomadic guides Oscar and Andres addressed all our requests very quickly and efficiently. We highly recommend PalmAiA for anyone looking for a rejuvenating holiday experience!
