Early mornings at 🌿✨
I heard about Tepoztlan - El Pueblo Magico - through a friend... A spiritual hideout about 1,5 hour drive from Big + Bustling Mexico City....✨
A town full of detox, yoga, and temazcal retreat sanctuaries - Perfect for me, a wellness and personal growth lover 🧘🏾‍♀️
I stumbled upon this gorgeous boutique hotel on but was kind of worried because of the mixed reviews... However, all of that went away as soon as the car drove up to the main house. .
The hotel just recently opened their doors again in March. After completing their renovations + new additions to the hotel.
A new restaurant, pool and 20+ brand new rooms.. I could not be any happier!! 🤩
This is my kind of heaven, daily yoga and meditation. A fantastic spa with traditional ceremonies like Temazcal. Delicious food in a gorgeous setting with a breathtaking view... What’s not to Love?
This is a tiny glimpse of the food, restaurant, room, treatment room, and hotel 💆🏽‍♀️
