Embraced by the ocean and over half a mile of beachfront on one side, and an expanse of jungle on the other, Palmaia, The House of Aia, in Playa del Carmen, Mexico is an ideal location for your wellness travels.  

There is nothing quite like listening to the sounds of ocean waves washing on to the sandy shores to create an atmosphere of peace and relaxation as an escape from our often hectic, stressful lives. That plus the soft, nature sounds of the jungle only adds to the relaxing atmosphere. 

Opened in late 2019, the all-inclusive, beachfront resort offers 234 guest rooms all with ocean views. Beyond the all-inclusive offerings, the Palmaia team can also set up local tours to such sites as the Mayan ruins and landmark local cenotes. 

A welcome note in our guest room reads: “Every journey begins the moment you let go and move from where you were to where you dream of being. We have created this place to explore our nature through an authentic and conscious experience.  We invite you to take the time to slow down, settle in and enjoy the Palmaia experience.”
