The Art + Culture Getaway is a soul-nourishing retreat that will introduce you to new foods, new friends, new cultures, and new customs. Immerse yourself in Mexican culture during this 5-day getaway. You'll experience sacred Mayan ceremonies, visit a UNESCO World Heritage site, take a Mexican folk art class, rest and relax, and dine with a celebrity chef.

Your group will stay at a beautiful villa in Mexico's Mayan Riviera with a beautiful indoor-outdoor living space, a private chef, daily cleaning, and more. Your host Annette has meticulously curated this getaway. She's making sure that every fat-positive detail is tended to, which gives you plenty of time to focus on culture, community, art, food, and fun! 

Your Getaway was created with the intention of supporting the local artists and businesses. Along with a host, you'll work with a Local Guide and Driver during your day trips. Instead of an all-inclusive resort, you'll stay in a beautiful locally-owned villa.
