Sanarà Sets the Standard for Luxury Self-Care in Tulum

By WKNDER

2023 is here, and now is the time to recharge from the holiday season and turn our attention towards self-care. For anyone with wellness and wanderlust on their list of New Year’s resolutions, a chic beachfront jungle hideout might just be what the universe ordered.

Nestled in the heart of Tulum Beach, Sanarà is the type of quintessentially chic eco-resort that draws a discerning cross-section of luxury well-seekers from all over the world. From yoga enthusiasts, to health-conscious gourmands, jetsetters, and anyone seeking the kind of spiritual renewal that comes with a few gold star amenities. With airy, light-filled, minimalist interiors giving way to swaying palm trees, powder-soft white sands, and turquoise waters at your doorstep, Sanarà is the type of wellness haven that makes a lasting impression from the moment you arrive.

Wellness and relaxation go hand-in-hand at this jungle-chic beachfront eco-resort. Winding sand pathways, lush beds of coconut palms and tropical plants lead to a postcard perfect stretch of the Caribbean sea. It is here where guests will find a fully serviced beach with shaded beach bed and oversized bean bag chairs. The perfect place to shift into full relaxation mode while enjoying a hand-crafted margarita, refreshing coconut water, or a bowl of perfectly prepared guacamole.

While the margaritas and lounge areas are plentiful, Sanarà is a luxury wellness destination that offers more than holiday indulgence. The Sanarà experience seamlessly merges luxury and authenticity, delivering an experience that incorporates all facets of physical and spiritual well-being. More just than a spa, Sanarà Wellness Center is a mecca of healing. With a highly curated wellness program that includes both in-house and visiting specialists Sanarà is the perfect place to refine your wellness practices or try something new under the guidance and instruction of some of the world’s most renowned well-being specialists.

Deeply rooted in both Eastern and Mayan wellness rituals, the wellness program at Sanarà allows guests to experience restoration of mind, body and spirit in a number of ways, including the year-round Nourish & Heal experience. Sanarà’s immersive, intimate & guided journey to healing and vitality. Created by Sanarà & Real Coconut founder Daniella Hunter, Nourish & Heal is a holistic program that focuses on four key areas of healing & well-being that include nutrition, self care, movement & connection.

Nutrition - Experience the benefits of your meals and beverages at Sanarà’s Real Coconut Kitchen. Known for its plant-focused diet, all dishes are free of gluten, dairy, soy and refined sugar. Expect to find an assortment of menu items ranging from classic avocado toast, to organic, free-range omelets for breakfast and lunch/dinner staples like quesadillas made from plantain flour tortillas and coconut cheese, and vegan fish tacos. Guests wishing to engage in deeper cleanse can opt for the “Phyto Cleanse & Digestive Reset” plan.

Self-Care - Daily treatments in the Sanarà Wellness Center & Spa, the resort’s world-class Ayurvedic Inspired facility which is the heart and soul of the Sanarà experience. Treatments include Abhyanga massage which is one of the most widely used techniques in Ayurveda. Using a special blend of essential oils created according to your Dosha, Abhyanga massage combines a series of manual movements, rhythms and intensities in the body to mobilize and stimulate the elimination of toxins through biological systems.

Another option is Ayurvedic Reflexology. A manual therapy for the feet and legs, where pressure and kneading are applied at different reflex points, connecting with the systems and organs of the body. The treatment gently reduces stress, improves blood and lymphatic circulation, and naturally promotes the elimination of toxins. By stimulating reflex points in the feet and hands, the body can return to a more balanced state.

Movement - Daily meditation, unlimited yoga classes & curated workshops focused on food & nutrition are held in a spacious beachfront shala. Floor to ceiling windows overlook the waves of the Caribbean Sea, coconut palms and lush vegetation of the resort. It is in this location that guests can participate in a range of workshops and classes such as Kundalini Yoga, Hatha Flow, Samurai and Ninja meditation, and Krama flow - the fusion of the asana sequence and the breathing. Not to be missed is the Kundalini Activation Process which is a direct transmission of kundalini energy and the non-dual state of consciousness led weekly at Sanarà by Beatriz Jaraba. The sessions are designed to gently awaken the kundalini energy - also described as our ultimate life force, inner fire, and the source of creative power, spiritual gifts, and divine power.

Connection - Sanarà’s lush jungle environs and majestic ocean-front setting sets the stage for exploration within nature and the possibility of connection in a myriad of ways. This unique environment celebrates the natural world and the ocean and jungles as a source of life and transformation. Nature leads the personal healing journey with the readily available support of Sanara’s dedicated team.

With healing and spiritual restoration and the core of Sanarà’s wellness ethos, every aspect of the Sanarà experience is designed to leave you feeling much better when you check out than you did when you checked in. Not a bad way to welcome another trip around the sun.
