About this trip

Take a break from every day life & join Sam Grillo & Rachel Mardoian for a seaside retreat to Sayulita! We will spend our time at La Joya Hotel & Retreat Center, featuring stunning ocean views, a salt water pool, sauna, cold plunge, jacuzzi, organic food, yoga, breathwork & more! 


The goal here is to leave feeling refreshed, joyful and reconnected to your Self, having had five days, and four nights, in paradise being cared for. There's such beauty in spending time on retreat, focusing alone on nourishment, joy, friendship and peace. 


We're thrilled you'd consider joining us for a retreat! Please reach out directly to us with any questions: joyofthesea.retreats@gmail.com


With love, 

Sam & Rachel
