Santuario Shala : retreats and rentals
Santuario Shala
is a prayer, a place to retreat, rest and recharge through the healing potential of the natural world.
Santuario Shala is an beach front retreat center immersed in the natural beauty outside of Puerto Escondido, Oaxacan Coast, Mexico.
Set in the backdrop of the pacific ocean and the Sierra Madre Sur, Santuario shala is home to birds in motion, whales in migration and turtles laying eggs on its nationally protected coastline. Our private beach entrance is steps away from the powerful pacific ocean and multiple surf breaks. It is a place that allows us humans to be guests in the splendor of the natural world.
First and foremost, Santuario Shala, is a place of learning- learning how to reconnect to ourselves and the natural world through elemental practices seated in the wisdom of traditional medicine. Santuario shala, influenced by the healing powers of the Yoga, Ayurveda and other Vedic Arts, indigenous wisdom and pre hispanic traditions, is a place to learn how to heal- ourselves, each other and the community.
Santuario shala offers private and group healing yoga retreats, Ayurvedic Pancha Karmas, surf adventures, and just a place to rest. Our current construction features a large two story house with three bedrooms, outdoor dining area, kitchen, 2 living rooms, and massive lap pool down the middle. We also have two freestanding bungalows with private plunge pools and back gardens. All rooms feature ocean views. The heart of the space is our yoga shala, a beautiful deck over the sea we offer workshops, massage and body work treatments, trainings and educational courses to empower the next generation of healers.
Book a private retreat, an Ayruvedic Pancha Karma or a group rental/vacation.


















Santuario Shala invites us to put down our swords, our stories, our addictions, our phones and to be inspired by the muse of natural beauty.
