Imagine a transformational, all-inclusive luxury retreat where every detail is taken care of just for you—so you can focus solely on reconnecting with your true self, your essence, and get your energy back. 

You're tired. It's time to escape into a deep rest that's all about you and your body, mind and spirit.

Nice relaxing Sighhh here. 


Set in the luxurious Kaaba Luum retreat center, this transformational coaching experience is tailored for executive & professional women who ‘have it all‘ yet often feel disconnected from their deeper purpose while constantly craving something more in their lives. Nicoa knows how this feels...


Join an exclusive group of like-minded women if you are ready to transform your "Way of Being" from striving to thriving, if you're ready to release exhaustion and uncover your deepest heart’s desires AND if you are ready - to let go of what no longer serves you. Turn uncertainty into empowered clarity with the help of a seasoned professional coach, Nicoa Dunne, who has been there done that and truly knows what it feels like to be in your shoes! 


It’s time to define and create a Life By Design that feels as good as it looks. Over four days October 14 – 18, 2026, you will:

 

Your Transformational Journey Includes:

  • Intimate group and 1:1 coaching sessions that foster deep connection with yourself and this exclusive group of like-minded women

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. We recommend $200USD

  • 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.
