Your Private Oasis Awaits

Playa Las Tortugas – A Hidden Paradise on Mexico’s Pacific Coast

Tucked away on the serene coastline of Nayarit, Mexico, Playa Las Tortugas is a breathtaking escape where golden sands meet lush palm groves, and time seems to slow down. Far from the crowds and noise, this secluded stretch of Pacific paradise offers the perfect blend of natural beauty, peace, and magic.

Named for the sea turtles that nest along its shores, Playa Las Tortugas invites you to reconnect with nature in its purest form. Imagine waking up to the sound of gentle waves, strolling barefoot along miles of unspoiled beach, or kayaking through tranquil estuaries as exotic birds soar overhead. Whether you're watching baby turtles make their first journey to the sea or catching a brilliant sunset that paints the sky in hues of fire and gold—every moment here feels sacred.

With its eco-conscious charm and intimate setting, Playa Las Tortugas is ideal for soulful retreats, romantic getaways, or simply pressing pause on the everyday. If you're craving real rest, wild beauty, and quiet luxury, this hidden gem on Mexico’s Riviera Nayarit is calling you home.

A Beachfront Paradise for Body and Spirit

At Villa Tortuga, your bedroom isn’t just a place to sleep—it’s a sacred cocoon where your soul can exhale. Each space is a tranquil refuge designed to hold you in calm.

This is where you return to yourself, where each breath deepens your rest, and where your transformation gently takes root in stillness.

The Venue: Welcome to Villa Tortuga

Mornings at Villa Tortuga feel like an offering. You wake to the soft rhythm of waves and golden light filtering through linen curtains. Barefoot, you wander onto your private terrace where the ocean greets you like an old friend. Coffee in hand, you let the hush of the sea realign your spirit before the day begins. Whether you curl up in a hammock with your journal, stretch in silence as the sun rises, or simply soak in the view—there’s no rush. Time slows down here, making space for your own unfolding.

Close your eyes and imagine this: You step into Villa Tortuga, and it immediately wraps you in calm. The salty breeze kisses your skin as you walk through hand-carved doors into a private sanctuary that feels like it was made just for you. It's not just the quiet—it's the soul-deep stillness. The weight you’ve been carrying starts to lift, and for the first time in a long time, you exhale. This isn’t a hotel or a pit stop on a busy itinerary. This is the sacred pause you didn’t know you needed. Here, nestled along the untouched shores of Playa Las Tortugas, you’re not escaping life—you’re finally returning to yourself.

Each night, after a day filled with laughter, tears, deep conversations, and soul-nourishing practices, you return to your room and feel the energy of the villa holding you. The bedding is soft and cool, the walls adorned with vibrant artistry that whispers of culture and care. You lie down with the ocean still echoing in the distance, your body softened and your heart cracked open—in the best way. This is where healing seeps in quietly, where your dreams come alive again in the hush between night and morning.

Why This Retreat?

This retreat is your invitation to rise.
To reconnect with the woman behind the role. To honor your voice, your boundaries, your vision—and finally lead on your terms. Surrounded by women who see you, get you, and are walking the same courageous path. You don’t need to hustle harder. You need space to breathe, reflect, and remember who you are when you’re not performing.

If you’re feeling the pull—it’s for a reason.
Say yes to the version of you who’s ready to own the room and her wholeness. We’re holding space for you. This is your transformation.

This is your moment—and you know it.
You’ve achieved so much on paper. The title, the accolades, the respect. Deep down, there’s a fire in you that’s been burning for more. More alignment. More impact. More truth. More you.

You’ve climbed the ladder, broken glass ceilings, and proven yourself time and time again—but inside, you’re feeling the weight of always having to lead on someone else’s terms. You’re done shrinking, second-guessing, and sacrificing your boundaries for the sake of playing nice or staying safe. 

You’re done navigating leadership by someone else’s rules.
You’re done overworking, overgiving, and overriding your gut to fit a mold that was never made for you. You’re ready to lead differently—with purpose, power, and presence.

The Rich Culture and Beauty of Playa Las Tortugas & Surrounding Areas

Playa Las Tortugas and the surrounding areas of Nayarit, Mexico are steeped in rich indigenous mythology, primarily rooted in the traditions of the Cora (Náayeri) and Huichol (Wixárika) peoples—two of the region’s most spiritually connected and storytelling-rich cultures. While Playa Las Tortugas itself may not have a singular myth tied directly to it, the broader region holds powerful myths that inform its sacred energy, particularly around nature, animals, and the ocean.

The Sacred Turtle

While not tied to a specific Huichol or Cora legend from Playa Las Tortugas itself, the turtle holds symbolic meaning in Mesoamerican cosmology across several Indigenous traditions. The turtle often represents:

  • The Earth itself, with its shell symbolizing the dome of the sky and its body the foundation of the world.

  • Longevity, endurance, and protection, aligning perfectly with Playa Las Tortugas’ tranquil, timeless essence.

  • In some interpretations, sea turtles are messengers or guardians, bridging the physical world with the spiritual.

Given that turtles return to the same beach year after year to nest, many locals and spiritual practitioners view this as a sacred act—symbolizing return, rebirth, and cyclical renewal.

At Playa Las Tortugas, the sea turtles—primarily olive ridley turtles, but occasionally leatherbacks and hawksbills—follow a beautiful and consistent nesting cycle:

Turtle Nesting Season in Nayarit:

  • Nesting: June through November

  • Hatching: August through January

During this time, turtles return to the same beach where they were born, digging nests in the sand under the moonlight to lay their eggs. About 45–60 days later, baby turtles hatch and begin their courageous journey to the sea—often during sunset or sunrise. In August through November, there’s a high chance you could witness either the nesting or hatching process—an incredibly moving and symbolic experience.

The Huichol Visionary Traditions

The Wixárika (Huichol) people are known for their vibrant, visionary cosmology that deeply honors nature, animals, and sacred geography. To them, all elements of nature—including the sea, sun, and animals—are living deities or spirits. Nearby areas like San Blas, Punta Mita, and the Sierra Madre Mountains are part of sacred migratory routes and ceremonial spaces.

Important mythological figures include:

  • Tatei Haramara – the Grandmother Ocean Goddess, revered as the origin of life and a powerful spiritual force. Pilgrimages are still made by Huichol people to the ocean (particularly near San Blas) to honor her.

  • Kauyumari – the Blue Deer, a central figure in Huichol cosmology who offers guidance, healing, and access to the spiritual world through peyote visions. While more common in desert regions, the deer’s messages of inner journey and resilience resonate with the tranquil energy of Playa Las Tortugas.

The Estuary and Mangroves as Portals

In Indigenous thought, estuaries, mangroves, and wetlands—like those found behind Playa Las Tortugas—are considered liminal spaces or thresholds between worlds. They are seen as places where transformation occurs and where spiritual messages can be received. These ecosystems are often treated with reverence and approached with ritual intention.

Playa Las Tortugas is rich in culture and history, its name, landscape, and surrounding sacred geography resonate deeply with themes of rebirth, feminine energy, earth wisdom, and spiritual transformation—echoing the worldview of the original caretakers of this land. For retreats and conscious travel, tapping into these myths adds a layer of reverence and connection to a place that’s already overflowing with soul.

Meet Your Retreat Facilitator: Maureen C. Rubalcaba, Ph.D.

I know what it’s like to carry the weight of being the strong one—the one who holds it all together, shows up for everyone, and delivers results no matter the cost. For years, I poured myself into my career and community, driven by purpose but also slowly unraveling under the surface. Losing my son to SIDS was the deepest wound of my life, and in the years that followed, I found myself navigating motherhood, grief, leadership, and legacy all at once. My healing didn’t happen overnight—it came through reclaiming my voice, honoring my boundaries, and finally allowing myself to receive the same care and compassion I so freely gave to others.

That’s why I created the Resilience & Renewal Retreat—for women like us. Impact-driven, visionary women who are tired of overgiving, tired of shrinking, and tired of feeling misaligned with their own brilliance. I’ve spent decades in education, coaching, and leadership—not just helping others rise, but rising myself. I’ve built a space where authenticity, equity, and unapologetic purpose lead the way. This retreat is not a workshop or a checklist. It’s a sacred, strategic pause—a space where we get to realign, breathe, and remember who we are when we’re not surviving, but thriving.

So, I invite you—personally—to join me at Playa Las Tortugas. Come as you are. Bring your wisdom, your weariness, your wildness. Together, we’ll walk barefoot on the beach, reconnect with our purpose, and leave with more than a plan—we’ll leave with our power intact. This isn’t just a retreat. It’s your next bold move.

“This retreat is not a workshop or a checklist. It’s a sacred, strategic pause.”
