Location and Retreat Space
Mixto Villa is the exclusive, upscale and brand new sister resort to the renowned Xinalani retreat center. Mixto Villa is a luxury and private retreat space located right on the remote, pristine Pacific beach of Quimixto. The villa has it’s own bar, pool and attentive on-site service staff. All of this is located in the tropical jungle refuge which is why it’s a carefully thought out eco-retreat space that respects and conserves the beautiful nature surrounding it. We will enjoy our own private amenities while also getting to enjoy the amenities of the nearby Xinalani resort.
More details about Villa Mixto on their website HERE, and about Xinalani Retreat center HERE.
Quimixto, Mexico
Quimixto is a small, quaint village on the Pacific coast of Mexico, just south of Puerto Vallarta. This village is only accessible by boat, which makes it an exclusive destination with minimal tourists and remote beaches. There’s an intermediate/advanced surf break located right in front of the retreat space (though swell can be inconsistent). There are waterfalls to explore and stretches of untouched coastline. The remote location means the sky will be filled with visible stars. It’s the perfect place to escape, explore your freedom and create a vision for living your best life.
