Join Tova for a 5-night, 6-day deep reset retreat in Riviera Maya, Mexico at the stunning Palmaïa – The House of AïA just outside of Playa Del Carmen. Through daily yoga, immersive wellness experiences, nourishing food, and intentional rest, this retreat invites you to slow down, reconnect, and return to yourself.
Set between the jungle and the sea, The Art of Resetting was created as a pause before the busy season begins — a space to ground your energy, reset your body, and reconnect with what truly matters. Wake up to ocean waves, hear sounds of the jungle, move through mindful practices, and embrace slow, intentional days surrounded by the beauty and warmth of magical Mexico.
Through a refined blend of vinyasa yoga, culturally inspired rituals, Michelin rated food, nature, optional 1:1 coaching, and rest, you’ll leave feeling lighter, grounded, and deeply reconnected to yourself. This is not just an escape. It's preparation for what's ahead.
This retreat was born from Tova’s personal journey through grief after losing her partner last year. In the process, she returned to the practices that helped her heal, reconnect, and move through life with greater presence — inspiring her to create this experience for others seeking their own reset.
Open to all levels, with no experience necessary, this retreat is for anyone craving restoration — whether you’re a busy burned out professional, parent, caregiver, or simply in need of deeper self-care. Come solo or share the experience with a loved one.
True luxury is knowing when to pause. Before the season of commitments, family gatherings and constant motion begins, this retreat invites you to do the opposite: slow down, return to your body and reconnect with what truly matters. This is a time to integrate, rest and simply be.
Find stillness. Feel renewed. Leave transformed.
Between the Caribbean Sea and the Mayan jungle, Palmaïa offers a quietly refined, conscious approach to luxury. A groundbreaking wellness concept where nourishment, movement, sound, and spirit unite to inspire transformation and reconnection with self.
Palmaïa is a sanctuary between ocean and jungle, designed in harmony with nature. The energy of the land invites every guest to reconnect with themselves and the spirit of this sacred place.
For Palmaia, wellness is holistic, integral, and part of the entire experience. Wherever you are on your journey, Palmaïa opens its arms to welcome you. That's why our offerings constitute one of the largest and most extensive collections of experiences to be found anywhere.
