“Villa Valentin was built around the idea that the best moments happen when people slow down and share space — long dinners, unhurried mornings, and time together that lingers well beyond the stay.”
This is Villa Valentin. Sayulita's energy pulses just minutes down the hill, but here, surrounded by jungle canopy and ocean air, everything shifts into a softer rhythm. This private estate exists in that rare space between celebration and sanctuary — where your group can gather without distraction, connect without rush, and create the kind of experience that doesn't fit neatly into a weekend but expands into something larger. Wedding. Retreat. Reunion. Whatever brings you here, Villa Valentin holds space for it to unfold exactly as it should.
Nestled in the lush hillsides of Sayulita, Mexico, Villa Valentin offers effortless access to both stunning public beaches and hidden coastal gems known only to locals. We're honored to be recognized as a 2022 Luxury Magazine Global Wedding Award winner—a recognition that speaks to our commitment to creating extraordinary experiences for every group that gathers here. From yoga retreats and wellness journeys to creative workshops and leadership immersions, Villa Valentin has become the retreat destination for those seeking more than just a beautiful backdrop—it's where bohemian elegance meets intentional design, and where guests leave different than they arrived.
After seven years of hosting transformative gatherings, our staff knows the difference between running an event and holding space. They move quietly, anticipate needs before they're spoken, and understand that their role is to support your work—not interrupt it. From setup and breakdown of practice spaces to coordinating transportation for beach excursions, our team handles logistics seamlessly so you can focus entirely on your participants. They've worked with meditation teachers, somatic practitioners, creative facilitators, and wellness experts from around the world. They know when to be present and when to disappear, and they genuinely care about the success of your retreat.
In a world of cookie-cutter retreat centers and generic villa rentals, Villa Valentin stands apart. This is the setting that elevates your work, deepens your impact, and gives participants a container worthy of their investment—both financial and emotional. Retreat hosts return year after year because they've seen what happens here: breakthroughs that might not have occurred in a lesser space, connections that form more easily in an environment this intentional, and testimonials from participants who call it "life-changing." When you host at Villa Valentin, you're not just renting a property—you're partnering with a team and a space that believe in the power of what you do.
Whether you're hosting 12 people for a deeply personal women's circle or 80 participants for a leadership intensive, Villa Valentin maintains an atmosphere of intimacy. The property's thoughtful layout means even large groups never feel crowded—there are always quiet corners for solo reflection, shaded terraces for small group discussions, and communal spaces that bring everyone together when it matters. We've mastered the art of making 60 people feel like a close-knit tribe and 15 people feel held without feeling lost in too much space. It's a rare balance, and one that retreat hosts consistently cite as what sets Villa Valentin apart from larger resort-style venues or cramped boutique properties.

RETREAT HOSTS
If you’re aiming for a premium experience without resort chaos, this is the sweet spot: intimate scale, real programming space, and built-in recovery rituals.
Quick gut check: if you want privacy, attention to detail, and enjoy being served by the best team in town — you’re in the right place.
Elevated, open-air, and surrounded by jungle canopy — this is where sunrise flows feel expansive and evening circles feel intimate. No ballroom energy. No compromise. Just nature, air, and movement.
Build true immersion into your retreat programming. Guided heat sessions. Cold exposure. Breathwork resets. Or simply the luxury of rinsing off under the open sky. Transformation lives in contrast — and we’ve built it in.
Not every moment needs to be profound. Sometimes it’s movie night. Sometimes it’s a founder talk on the big screen. 4K display. Sound system. Deep couches. Integration matters — and so does joy.
