Treat yourself! - There’s no need to repeat all of the praises by the other reviewers. It’s all true.
Having visited Equilibrium twice, I’m already... read more looking forward to another. It’s a unique private retreat for de-stressing and healing. As a Type A guy, I can say is that it had profound impact on me - to the core. The simplest description would be: reconnected and re-balanced. Equilibrium is a fitting name.
Priscila and John have built a magical sanctuary. Everything about it is top-notch. Meeting and conversing with the other fascinating guests adds to the adventure.
Treat yourself to a very special, immersive experience. To get the most out of your stay, schedule at least one massage therapy each day. Open your heart while you’re there – and you’ll be rewarded.
April 17, 2024Rest & Repair… Healing land, Sacred water - Equilibrium was an all around positive, healing experience. We loved soaking in the pools and practicing movement in the gazebos. The staff was top notch, and I wouldn’t... read more change a thing about my trip. I was there on retreat with a group I didn’t know very well, and left feeling like family. The wellness practitioners were absolute medicine workers, and John and Priscilla have established a luxury center with a healing relationship to the land. They balanced eco and luxury so well. Everything was beautiful. The food was INCREDIBLE. I would eat vegan always if it was like this. They were flexible with our retreat experience and let us be our weird and wild selves. I felt so cared for, and reccomend this to anyone needing a little rest & repair.
April 16, 2024Sacred Land with Healing Water - I just hosted the most incredible women’s retreat on this sacred land and words cannot even describe how powerful it was. Everything that we had planned was amplified by the... read more nourishing Healing Equilibrium. The food was outstanding! So flavorful, deeply healing, everyone was blown away and expanded by the phenomenal vegan cuisine. The land held such beautiful space for us to facilitate a deep transformation about self love and saying yes to yourself. The body workers supported these women on the physical plane. The water!!! The Highest frequency of love and healing runs through this land. John and Priscilla, the sacred stewards, were so generous with their love and support.

April 16, 2024Incredible place to stay - I attended a retreat at this amazing place last week and I can't say enough good things about it. The owners think of absolutely every detail to make your... read more stay very special. The food is gorgeous and delicious. I felt so healthy the whole week I was there. The spa has not only massage therapists but healers...they were INCREDIBLE. I had the best Thai Massage of my life on the first day there. The pool and spa are stunning, there is calm music playing throughout the place. The best were SO comfortable. I slept so well, fell asleep looking at the stars and woke up to birds and nature sounds. The grounds are incredibly well kept and it is clear this place is a labor of love. All staff we encountered were wonderful, attentive and also gave our group a lot of space and privacy. If you run retreats, or want to take a group off the grid to somewhere truly unique and special, run don't walk!
April 15, 2024Every detail of this resort is well thought out with love and intention. The solar powered lanterns, the exquisite meals, the healing body treatments, the casitas that have been designed... read more around the trees. The healing waters, the gazebo, all of the additional therapies that they offer. This place is potent with LOVE. The staff are so incredible, beautiful people who are holding space for our growth and our surrendering. My time here will never be forgotten. And I will most certainly return.

The location in the Sierra Madre Mountains, artisan food and flavors, warm hospitality, and pure magic of the jungle setting and incredible architecture, low lights, candles, music in the gardens,... read more spa, steam room, massage and pool, impeccable design and attention to every detail to truly nourish visitors make Equillibrium an unmatched and unforgettable experience.
January 18, 2024Exquisite! perfect for my women’s retreat - I brought a group of 13 women here for a women’s wellness retreat, and it was absolutely the most divine and perfect place to have it. Equilibrium is founded by... read more Priscila, a powerful Mexican woman with a vision, led by pure love, and it is felt in every detail. I don’t even know where to start in my accolades because everything blew me away. The staff is warm and so helpful: Mirla, in charge during our stay, is the best, and the kitchen staff is exquisitely talented. John answered all my questions throughout the pre retreat planning stages and keeps everything working in the background.
The location: easy to get to from Puerto Vallarta, but also secluded, private, and quiet, except for the sounds of the jungle, lush, safe, clean, and beautiful. The rooms! Simple jungle luxury. Lit by skylights, candles, and solar lanterns, big screen windows to make you feel a part of your environment. Very comfortable, cushy beds, and lovely details like glass bottled water, robes, soft towels, sitting spaces, and candles lit while you’re at dinner to light your way back at night. The food, so fresh, mostly plant -based, gluten-free, and absolutely nourishing on every single level. My digestion felt so clear and clean throughout the week.
I love the small size of this resort, so that it was only my group during my retreat. This helped even more create a very safe and secret container for us to do the transformational work we were doing.
This is a place to come to truly get away from the distractions and disconnection of our busy world, reconnect to the earths natural rhythms, and into the peace inside your heart.
January 17, 2024Absolute MUST visit! - Wow! Just wow. This is a resort that absolutely every soul needs to experience! I had the opportunity to lead 13 ladies here for a yoga retreat and I couldn’t... read more have possibly chosen a better location.
The beds are extremely comfortable, the pool is extremely clean, the staff is absolutely wonderful, and the food is something to write home about!!
The property is absolutely outstanding. The way that they have built the Casitas into the hill are one of a kind, and truly stunning!
We felt like family from the moment we arrived. Place this on your bucketlists!

This place is pure magic. As a single woman i felt safe every step of the way and beyond taken care of by the owners. The Rooms/ Casitas... read more are each different and mine was at edge of the property with the jungle and river behind me that i could hear all night as i slept. The beds and pillows are amazing and while laying down you could look up and see the stars thru multiple skylights, just beautiful. Everything in my room and on the grounds was kept pristinely cared for by the staff. It was the perfect luxury / jungle combo. I really don't have the words to describe it and they tailored my experience for my healing. I went there to heal from my gut imbalances and just let go of how tense i was feeling from the last few years and all of the healers, massage people, alternative Doctors & conversations i had did the trick . I got to go deeper on an energetic level to heal. I spent time with other guest and had time by myself floating in the mineral pool and ozone jacuzzi looking over the Bamboo by the river absolutely tranquil and bliss. Yoga everyday, meditation, belly dancing,breath work, sound baths....just GO GO GO! you will be deeply rested and ready to enter back into your life. BEST thing i have ever done for myself 😉
July 26, 2023Pure bliss from start to finish - I've experienced several retreats. While they have each been special in their own ways, nothing compares to my time at Equilibrium. As a whole, my week there from start to finish... read more was a complete nourishment of self and spirit. I spend much of my personal and professional life caring for others, and it was incredible to be fully taken care of here. I was able to express my goals and needs prior to and during my arrival. I felt seen and heard in each aspect of my journey, and genuinely cared for. I knew I was supported and held. While everyone extremely knowledgable and professional, there was also a deep sense of heart that come with the experience. That's what really makes it stand out for me.
Priscilla, John, Mirla and the whole team work together effortlessly to ensure our needs are met. It was truly a transformative individual and collective experience to share with others there. The sacred grounds are stunning, the therapy treatments are a dream, the group classes were grounding / awakening, and the comfort food you will not get enough of (also plenty for seconds!). I can't wait for my next return!!
July 26, 2023I hosted my retreat at Equilibrium and the experience was top notch. The place is made for healing and you fell that in every detailed from the architecture, to the... read more design of the smallest element. Nature is the main protagonist of the experience and you leave Equilibrium with a new found respect and admiration for the universe creations. The staff was incredibly accommodating and the quality of the food and rooms is 5 stars.
I’m forget grateful to whole team

Incredible setting, delicious food, perfect host. Equilibrium is what you imagine a retreat to be. - I had never been on a retreat before. The retreat was based on KAP, with Sound Healing and Move to Flow. The seminars were increíble.
Equilibrium as a... read more place is spectacular. It is only about 40 mins from downtown Vallarta along a highway. It is a lush, jungle setting with cabins and structures that were like a fairly tale. The pool was spectacular. The food was gourmet and varied and plentiful. Our host and owner, Pricila was so gracious and open. Her passion for Equilibrium, well-being and the jungle is contagious.
This was a spectacular 3 night retreat and I wish that everyone has the opportunity to live this.

April 10, 2023Magical Experience - Wow....this was the best experience of my life best gift I gave myself. This place is magical, paradise and Priscilla, John, Gaby, Mayra, Myrla and staff were amazing!... read more We were pampered from the time we got in until we left. The love that they gave us throughout our stay was heavenly, the care that you receive from each one of the therapists and staff members is unforgettable.
They focus on you personally and make sure that they give it their all to heal you and restore you. I celebrated my birthday at Equilibrium and it was the best Birthday ever, they baked a special beautiful and delicious vegan chocolate cake to die for and they all celebrated my rebirth and new me.
The "Casitas" are very nice, sitting area, bed was super comfortable and large shower room.
I cannot wait to go back with people that I love to share this wonderful experience.

The food is outstanding. The beds are heaven. The healing treatments are so so so good. The natural beauty is magic.
What you will not find here are distractions.
If you’re looking for a true digital detox, a place to rest, reconnect and heal, then go to Equilibrium!
February 18, 2023Wow! Half of me is hesitant to write this review as I don’t want this incredible rainforest haven to change but at the same time I want the world to... read more know about what an incredibly magical, life transforming place this is. The setting is stunning, so remote high in the rainforest, but it’s really the people that make this retreat. I have never met a more caring, nurturing, loving group of people with the most positive and warm energy emanating from each and every one of them.
The best thing I can advise is to go there with an open mind and trust Pricilla and the team to just know what you need and the process most suited to you, in order to leave feeling rejuvenated, refreshed and incredibly relaxed. The whole team are so hands on and really care about your well being, unlike anything I’ve ever experienced.
The food is absolutely delicious, such creative dishes (all vegetarian, mostly vegan) and plenty of it. Maria and her team are actual wizards in the kitchen.
Overall I couldn’t recommend this place enough. I was there for 6 nights and could easily have stayed for longer, I’m already planning my next visit.
February 5, 2023I visited Equilibrium with my sister last month. I went with the intent of finding some relaxation and peace and the experience was better than I could have possibly... read more imagined! The setting was beautiful and calming, the people were amazing, the food was so good I asked for seconds at almost every meal. Equilibrium is not just a wellness spa, it is a place of healing. I would highly recommend to anyone who asked, whether you are looking for a place to just “checkout and reset” for a few days or looking to make changes in your life. I can’t thank everyone (too many people to name) there enough for the experience. I will definitely be back.

The staff at Equilibrium is one of a kind. You can actually feel the love and compassion everyone has from the gardeners to the chefs and the therapists. You feel welcome instantly and leaving there was like leaving a great family of friends. We can’t wait to go back.
The food at Equilibrium was delicious to a different level. It enlightened me to the fact that eating clean and healthy is actually quite easy and very tasty. I generally eat meat and not only did I not miss it but I now understand that I really don’t even need it. Without it I felt lighter and more energetic. Also a huge wow to the healthy desserts!
We did manage to pop over to the botanical gardens a couple minutes away and do some nice hikes. The convenience of these two places next to each other is a perfect combination.
All I can finish with is Equilibrium is one of the truest vacations you could actually give your mind, your body, and your relationships. There is no part of you that will regret taking the time to give yourself what you deserve. We can’t wait to go back and have even more of that magical experience! Thank you everyone at Equilibrium!
