Roots of the Sun is our luxury wellness & cultural retreat reimagined on the shores of Puerto Vallarta — a place where lush mountains meet the sea, vibrant culture pulses through every street, and the tropical atmosphere is alive in every breath. Imagine mornings of yoga and meditation beside the Pacific, evenings tasting local Jalisco cuisine in the warm glow of sunset, dance classes steeped in Mexican rhythm, and adventures through botanical gardens, art-filled promenades, and colorful artisan markets.

WHAT IS INCLUDED:
Luxury Accommodation:
You’ll stay in a luxury vacation villa just for us! With beautiful rooms and stunning ocean views, your perfect home base for this retreat. The villa includes a heated outdoor infinity pool, complete with splash decks, umbrella shading and loungers for ultimate relaxation and fun. The villa is located inside an exclusive gated community.
Wellness & Yoga:
Each morning begins with the gentle sound of the ocean and a nourishing yoga and meditation practice guided by Bhavani and Ram. Surrounded by the tropical beauty of Puerto Vallarta, we’ll move, breathe, and ground together, welcoming the day with intention and ease.
Food & Nourishment:
One of the sweetest parts of the retreat is gathering around the table. We’ll be nourished each day with beautiful, freshly prepared meals crafted by our private chef in the comfort of our stunning villa. Each dish is made with vibrant local ingredients — tropical fruits, fresh seafood, colorful vegetables, and the warm, soulful flavors of Mexico.
Cultural & Adventure Experiences:
Puerto Vallarta is alive with tradition, color, and heart — and during this retreat, you’ll get to experience Mexico from the inside out. We’ll wander through vibrant local markets, savor authentic flavors, and connect with the warmth of its people and their ancestral heritage.
Throughout the week, we’ll explore the city’s cobblestone streets and art-filled Malecón boardwalk, visit local artisans, and discover hidden gems that most travelers never see. A lively salsa class will bring movement and joy into the evenings, group excursions — like visiting nearby villages or taking a sunset boat trip — offer a taste of the natural and cultural magic of this region.
HOW TO GET THERE:
Traveling from New Zealand to Puerto Vallarta is easy and well connected. The simplest route is to fly from Auckland with Air New Zealand to Los Angeles or Houston, and then connect on a direct flight to Puerto Vallarta International Airport (PVR). Once you land, we’ll help organize a private shuttle transfer so your journey flows with ease.

Your Guides:
Bhavani and Ram, owners of Sanctuary Hill, are creating overseas retreats to bring a combination of wellness and culture together. For Bhavani, this retreat is about sharing her culture and beautiful country with You.
