WHAT TO PACK:

The average daily temperature in Tulum, Mexico during October ranges from a comfortable 24°C (75°F) to a toasty 30°C (86°F). Tulum in October also experiences humidity of around 85%, making it possibly quite muggy but will be more comfortable in the shade of the Jungle elements at Kabaa Luum. There could be light rain off and on but often super sunny so expect both!


Clothing: Whatever makes you comfortable!

  • Lightweight and Breathable Fabrics: Opt for cotton, linen, or rayon, as they are ideal for the hot and humid climate. Typical temperatures in October 
  • Loose-fitting clothes for layering: Flowy maxi skirts/dresses, button-up shirts, shorts, light weight pants, and sun dresses are great choices. Yoga pants are fine but might be a bit warm.
  • Swimwear: Pack a few bathing suits for pool time. A towel will be provided.
  • Beach Cover-ups: Consider cover-ups that can transition from day to night. 
  • Comfortable Walking Shoes: You'll likely be doing some walking, so comfortable shoes are a must. Flip flops are fine, too.
  • Light kimono, sweater or Jacket: While evenings can be warm, it's good to have a light sweater or jacket for cooler nights. 
  • Raincoat or Poncho: October is still in the rainy season, so a lightweight raincoat or poncho is a good idea. 

Accessories:

  • Sunscreen: Protect your skin from the strong Mexican sun. 
  • Sunglasses: Essential for protecting your eyes from the sun. 
  • Hat: A wide-brimmed hat can provide extra sun protection. 
  • Reusable Water Bottle: Stay hydrated with a reusable water bottle. 
  • Bug Spray: Mosquitoes can be a problem, so pack some insect repellent. 
  • Beach Bag: A beach bag is useful for carrying essentials to the beach. 
  • Small Backpack: A small backpack is helpful for day trips. 

Other Essentials:

  • Medications: Don't forget any necessary medications.
  • First-Aid Kit: A small first-aid kit can be helpful for minor injuries but Kabaa Luum will have one too if needed.
  • Phone Charger and Adapter: Make sure you have a way to charge your phone and any other devices. Traveling to Tulum from North America (US or Canada), you won't need a voltage converter or transformer, but you might need a plug adapter as Mexico uses the same voltage (127V) and frequency (60Hz) as the US, but the outlets are not always polarized.  ~NICOA TO CONFIRM WITH RETREAT CENTER ~
  • Cash: While credit cards are accepted in many places, it's always a good idea to have some cash on hand possibly for tipping housekeeping or service staff on property.
  • Passport and Travel Documents: Ensure you have all necessary travel documents. NOTE: A valid passport book is required to enter Mexico by air, and those attempting to enter at an airport with a U.S. passport card only may be denied admission.

What’s included

  • Airport Transfer
    Private transfers to/from either Cancun OR Tulum airports in Mexico (arrival timeframes will be specified)
  • Accommodations
    4 nights of luxury accommodation at Kaaba Luum eco-resort villas
  • Personal Coaching
    Full agenda and activities access guided by Nicoa and other specialty practitioners + Private 1:1 Coaching during AND 3 sessions after the retreat with your coach Nicoa
  • Meals
    Daily cuisine locally sourced and prepared onsite + beverages
  • LIFE BY DESIGN SWAG BAG
    You'll receive a welcome bag with a few goodies to support your retreat experience and just make you smile.
