Gourmet Dining Al Fresco at Xinalani

Xinalani is known by those of us who have spent anytime there as “magic universe.” This extends to the foodie delights that are plated and served every day with such great care. This is elegant dining al fresco at it’s best. And all to the soundtrack of the ocean, with every seat ocean view.

The only more magical experience is on the last evening when the staff at Xinalani create a gourmet feast on the beach where our tastes delight in gorgeous flavors, with the fire of torches lighting our food and our feet in the sand.

Casey Petersen's Guide Eye on Xinalani

Xinalani Personal Insights
By Casey Peterson

The sea is my favorite place on earth and at Xinalani it is all around you. You can hear the waves crashing lightly while you sleep and the smell of salt water is in the air. Swimming is accessible right outside your front door and boat rides are taken to get to and from the island.

I am not a person that needs luxury while on vacation, or has to be spoiled in-order to enjoy myself. I enjoy a rugged adventure like back-packing or camping. After experiencing Xinalani I realize you can have both! I loved the way Xinalani allows for pampering while also sets you up to experience nature and Mexican culture. I felt like I was far away from home and the worries of life without having to be consumed with where I would find my next meal or where to go.

Another great part about this trip is the chance you get to be in Puerto Vallerta for a bit if you choose. The experience of being in the hustle and bustle of this resort town is such a welcomed contrast to the rest of the experience and i really loved how that dynamic was present.

Mostly Xinalani and the yoga retreat was a needed change in the middle of winter. Being away from life on a vacation where you also get to grow and learn about yourself through yoga is the best kind of time-out I can imagine. Going back to Xinalani has been something I have been looking forward to since the day we left.

And it’s super easy too! Try it at home and taste for yourself. Or even better, come on retreat with us March 31-April 6, 2013 and sample Sergio’s skills while with us on retreat at Xinalani.
