Boat access is part of Xinalani’s setting: the retreat occupies a jungle-covered slope above a secluded beach on Banderas Bay near Quimixto. Palm-thatched rooms and casitas step through the hillside, pairing open-air layouts and natural materials with broad Pacific views. Six yoga spaces are distributed through the grounds, alongside an oceanfront spa, temazcal, beach club, lounge bar, sand terrace and restaurant. Stone paths and stairways lead down towards the 250-yard shoreline, while the larger open-sided studios sit higher among the palms beneath timber roofs that frame the bay beyond.
