As much as I do love Tulum, I have a favorite hidden secret locale that hosts all of the \u201cbelles natural\u201d (natural beauty) but with far less \u201cgente y tr\u00e1fico\u201d (people and traffic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bienvenidos a Palma\u00efa in Playacar, Quintana Roo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playacar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Playa what? Known for its high-end villas, all-inclusive resorts, luxury golf courses and oceanfront turquoise-adorned beaches, Playacar is also rich in culture, home to Mayan ruins and loads of water activities, like snorkeling, sunbathing and kayaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Playacar is just south of the greater known Playa del Carmen area (La Quinta ring a bell?). It\u2019s about a 50-60 minute ride from Cancun International Airport, about 50 minutes north of downtown Tulum and front-facing the island of Cozumel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where I Stayed at Palma\u00efa in Playacar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Full disclosure: I am extra picky about the well-being and care level of the resort I chose. I had initially discovered Palma\u00efa, The House of A\u00efa<\/a> on Vacayou\u2019s site, and followed up with some of my own research on the web about this upscale Burning Man-inspired conscious and well-being resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resort’s homepage states, \u201cA paradise of eco-nuances and intangible delights cocooned between an undisturbed jungle and the glistening Caribbean Sea.\u201d Yes! Booked. And I immediately started packing a passport, swimsuit and face mask (typical for any travel<\/a> these days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Choose Playacar Over Tulum for Your Mexico Wellness Retreat? 5 Reasons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So, what made me choose this resort, Palma\u00efa in Playacar over one of my other favorites in Tulum? Here are my top 5 reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. It\u2019s Private<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Playacar is mainly private villas and luxury resorts and activities. With a gated entrance and long-trailing entrance road, it\u2019s off the beaten path, to say, and doesn\u2019t have all the main traffic you would experience in Cancun, Playa del Carmen and (now even) in Tulum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For worse, or far worse, Tulum has become a bit too popular over the past few years, stripping a good portion of it from its \u201cundiscovered\u201d and natural vibes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On my last visit, unfortunately, I was disheartened to see the number of construction trucks, generators and over-crowded traffic on the single main road that runs parallel to the beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seclusion and privacy of Playacar have maintained that peace and tranquility (for now, don\u2019t share this with your friends, ha!) one would be seeking for a well-being getaway. So, shh! Secret\u2019s ours\u2026 for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. You\u2019re Oceanfront and in Nature\u2014Not on It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Playacar is a smaller, rectangular stretch of land that is adjacent to the Riviera Mayan and Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The construction and layout of Palma\u00efa in Playacar were specifically designed to be build IN nature, keeping much of its flora (plant-life), trees and landscape intact, with its walkways, building and ground navigation build around mother nature\u2019s previously created construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, when you\u2019re dining on some delicious and fresh plant-based meals in an open-air beachfront restaurant, the food just tastes more vibrant eating in native habitat of the water, sand and palms in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. <\/strong>There\u2019s No Greenwashing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sustainable. Eco. Organic. They\u2019re beautiful words, but marketers tend to over-use them for the worse in attempts to sell tourists and wellness seeking travelers to book, buy and stay. I used to work in advertising, trust me, there\u2019s power in buzzwords on the consumer mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the travel resort sense, greenwashing<\/a> can be when a destination touts and appears to be eco-friendly and sustainable, but their practices don\u2019t live it up to it, or to a certain level of ethical standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One example, if you\u2019re claiming to be eco-conscious by reducing the linens services but offering plastic cups and straws poolside, I\u2019d question that eco claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doing my research on Palma\u00efa in Playacar, or any resort that boasts an eco-title, I make it a point to look deeper than any resort\u2019s homepage and self-proclaimed accolades to ensure certain measures and standards are actually enacted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Similar to life and relationships, travel buzz words are easy, but authenticity comes from actions. Palma\u00efa, I found first-hand, lives up to that eco title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. <\/strong>Personal Health & Safety <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve traveled over 25 times to Mexico<\/a> in the past four years. I can honestly share, not all of Mexico is safe. Just like any city in the U.S., too\u2014New York, Boston, Miami, Los Angeles\u2014every city or location can have its not-so-safe neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traveling to Cancun Airport from Miami (my home-base for the time being) is incredibly fast, just over an hour flight. Once you land, head directly to the \u201cpit\u201d outside customs and baggage claim to a shuttle, cab, private limo or bus to take you to your resort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While there are plenty of off-site excursions to visit and see off property in the Riviera, I found that Palma\u00efa in Playacar had any and all I needed onsite, meaning, I didn\u2019t have to leave once I arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This left me feeling very safe and secure, with plenty of wellness, fitness and food options to keep me plenty occupied during my stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

5. Variety Of Well-Being Options Onsite<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of wellness options, Palma\u00efa in Playacar has a full fitness center that is cleaned regularly and reserved to prevent overcrowding, outdoor water activities, meditations, yoga classes, art workshops and daily evening outdoor music events all within their 14-acre grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All are included in your stay, and all within a healthy walking distance of their rightfully named \u201cHealth Trail\u201d that parallels down the length of the resort and ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would I recommend Tulum? Absolutely. Would I prefer Playacar? 9 times out of 10, yes. Especially in today\u2019s given circumstances to distance and avoid the crowds, and just to unwind away from the noise and chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In close, the question isn\u2019t if I\u2019d recommend Palma\u00efa in Playacar, but rather, when I\u2019ll be back? Ojal\u00e1, muy pronto (hopefully, very soon!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
