This retreat is for you if you:

• Love traveling, but this time you want a well-curated experience that feels different from traditional tourism.
• Love nature, the sea, and adventure.
• Want to meet new people through a genuine shared group experience.
• Are looking for a balance between adventure and relaxation, rather than an exhausting itinerary.
• Want space for wellness and slowing down, without the entire trip feeling overly “spiritual.”
• Are ready to step slightly outside your comfort zone and try something new.

And you don’t need to be “in need of fixing” or going through a difficult chapter to join us. You can be perfectly happy with where you are… and simply want to experience 9 extraordinary days in Mexico.

Over nine days, we’ll blend nature, wellness, culture, and adventure into one unforgettable experience.

Some of the experiences waiting for you include:

• Morning yoga and movement sessions.

• Breathwork and meditation.

• Journaling, reflective writing, and personal moments of insight.

• Sharing circles and group connection experiences.

• Swimming in natural Cenotes.

• Visiting the ancient Mayan ruins of Cobá.

• An additional Cenote experience hidden in the jungle.

• A traditional Temazcal experience.

• A full-day journey into the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.

• A boat ride through lagoons and mangroves.

• A private cruise in the Caribbean Sea.

• Floating through ancient natural waterways.

• Open time on the beaches of the Caribbean.

• A Cacao Ceremony.

• A Sound Healing session.

• Free time for swimming, resting, and simply enjoying the moment.

• Walking through Jaguar Park.

• Moments of silence and meditation in nature.

• Group dinners designed to create deeper connection.

• And many spontaneous moments we haven’t added to the schedule… because those often become the most unforgettable memories of the retreat.

On the first day, we don’t want anything from you.

No long sessions. No exhausting schedule after traveling.

We simply want you to arrive. Put your suitcase down in your room… take a breath…

and give your body a moment to realize:

I’m here.

• Arrival in Tulum and hotel check-in.
• Time to rest and unwind after your journey.
• Free time by the pool or simply to relax.
• Welcome tea and fresh fruit surrounded by the atmosphere of the jungle.
• Welcome gift, opening circle, introductions, and intention setting.
• A gentle movement and stretching session to release tension and help your body recover after traveling.
• Welcome dinner with the group.

Today, we step into the heart of Tulum’s nature for the first time.

And we begin with an element that will stay with us throughout our time in Mexico: water.

We head to Cenote Calavera, one of the most beautiful cenotes near Tulum.

A natural opening in the earth… where sunlight filters through the rocks and touches the water below, as if this place has been hidden here for thousands of years, waiting to be discovered.

Throughout the day:

• Gentle morning movement and yoga.
• Breathwork and stretching.
• Breakfast at the hotel.
• Transfer to Cenote Calavera.
• Discovering the meaning and symbolism of cenotes in Mayan culture.
• Swimming in the natural waters.
• Return to the hotel.
• Journaling session and sharing circle.

And our question for the day:

What did the water reveal to me?

Today, we travel deeper into the jungle… to Cobá.

Once a thriving Mayan city, its ancient ruins still stand among the trees today.

Sometimes, we need to stand in front of something much older than ourselves…

to remember that many of the things filling our minds today may not be as big as they seem.

Throughout the day:

• Early breakfast.
• Departure for Cobá.
• Exploring the ancient ruins and pathways.
• Discovering the history of the Mayan civilization.
• Visiting temples and archaeological sites.
• Quiet moments to simply take in the surroundings.
• Visit to Cenote Zacil-Ha after the tour.
• Swimming and time to have fun.
• Optional local Mexican lunch.
• Return to the hotel.
• Relaxed dinner and a light evening with no intensive sessions.

This day brings together two things we deeply believe in: depth and lightness.

In the morning, we walk among the remains of a civilization that is centuries old…

and by the afternoon, we’re jumping into the water and laughing.

Sometimes, that’s exactly how life should be.

This may be one of the deepest days of the retreat.

Temazcal.

An ancient tradition rooted in Mesoamerican cultures, where heat, steam, sound, and intention come together in an experience guided by trained local practitioners.

It’s not a spa treatment.

And it’s not simply a tourist activity.

It is a symbolic ritual of release and renewal.

We begin the day slowly:

• Gentle morning movement.
• Light breakfast.
• Preparation and journaling session before the experience.
• Traditional Temazcal experience with local practitioners.
• Quiet time to rest afterward.
• Personal reflection and journaling.
• Dinner and an evening integration session.

And we ask ourselves:

What has already served its purpose in my life… but I’m still carrying it?

After several days of movement and new experiences, we slow the rhythm down and spend the day close to the Caribbean Sea.

There is no packed schedule today. Everyone can choose between the beach, rest, spa time, or simply enjoying a quiet day with themselves and the group.

Because often…

the most beautiful moments happen when nothing is planned.

Throughout the day:

• A slow breakfast.
• Transfer through Jaguar Park to El Faro Beach.
• Almost a full day on one of Tulum’s beautiful natural beaches.
• Swimming, sunshine, reading, conversations, and relaxation.
• Time with the group.
• Or free time for activities outside the hotel.
• Optional spa treatments.
• Designated hours when we put our phones completely away.

No one needs to know what we’re doing.

Just:

You… and the sea.

After returning to the hotel, we move into one of the most meaningful rituals of the journey:

A Letter to Yourself.

Today, we simply want to live.

To laugh. To move. To enjoy.

We’re heading to one of the most extraordinary natural reserves in the region: Sian Ka’an.

Its name in the Mayan language means:

“Where the sky is born.”

And that’s almost exactly how it feels when you arrive.

An endless sky… open water… mangrove forests…

and a boat carrying us through lagoons and natural waterways.

Throughout the day:

• Breakfast.
• Departure for the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve.
• Boat tour.
• Cruising through the mangrove channels.
• Wildlife spotting.
• Reaching the ancient waterways.
• Floating gently through the natural channels with the current.
• Lunch inside the reserve.
• Swimming, photos, and plenty of laughter.

Nothing profound needs to happen today.

We simply return to the hotel for dinner and rest.

There is no formal evening session.

Because we believe that:

Joy itself can be one of the most important practices of the day.

And sometimes, laughter after a deeply emotional day… is exactly what the nervous system needs

We begin the day gently, giving ourselves time to rest before coming together in the afternoon and evening for three beautiful experiences.

We begin with cacao, move into music and free expression through Soul Star Dance, and end in deep stillness with Sound Healing.

A slow morning:

• Late breakfast.
• Gentle Yoga.
• Breathwork.
• Gentle movement focused on opening the heart space.
• Free time to rest, visit the beach, or enjoy the spa.

Then, the day’s experiences begin:

1. Cacao Ceremony

We sit together in a circle…

share ceremonial cacao, set an intention, listen to music…

and allow whatever wants to arise to do so naturally, without forcing anything.

Then, we create space for movement.

2. Soul Star Dance

We move into a space of free movement and music, allowing the body to express itself without choreography, rules, or a “right” way to dance.

A space for joy, release, freedom, and being completely present in the moment.

Movement without judgment.

3. Sound Healing

As the sun begins to set, we lie down.

We close our eyes.

And we don’t need to do anything.

Crystal singing bowls… vibrations… sound…

An hour where the body can simply surrender to the experience.

Afterward, we share a quiet dinner and an optional sharing circle.

Because sometimes…

what we need isn’t more words.

We simply need to let the experience settle.

We spend our final full day in Tulum on the waters of the Caribbean — making space for joy, freedom, and celebrating life aboard a private catamaran exclusively for the Soul Star group.

After returning and taking some time to rest, we dress in white and come together for our Soul Star White Night, celebrating everything we’ve experienced over the past eight days.

Throughout the day:

• Private Catamaran Cruise exclusively for the Soul Star group.
• Sailing through turquoise Caribbean waters while enjoying music and incredible views.
• Swimming, music, and relaxing onboard.
• Light snacks and refreshing drinks during the cruise.
• Return to the hotel and time to prepare for our farewell evening.
• Soul Star White Night.

In the evening, we come together again…

but this time, dressed in white.

Soul Star White Night is our celebration of everything this journey has given us: the people we’ve met, the moments we’ve shared, and the lighter version of ourselves that may have started to emerge along the way.

We dress in white, gather in a warm and elegant atmosphere, listen to music, laugh, take photos, and simply enjoy the evening — without a heavy schedule or too many words.

A day that begins on the waters of the Caribbean… and ends with a White Night celebrating life, friendship, and everything the Land of the Maya has given us.

And later that evening:

Farewell Dinner

A long table. Soft lights. Laughter. Stories.

We wake up for our final morning in Tulum, in the same place where we arrived nine days ago — but this time surrounded by people who have become part of the experience.

There are no adventures today.

No new destination waiting for us.

We simply close the journey gently and choose what we want to carry with us as we return to everyday life.

Throughout the morning:

• Our final breakfast together.
• Closing Circle.
• Final meditation.
• Each person shares:

What will I take home with me?

and What is one small thing I will commit to when I return to my everyday life?

Afterward:

• One final group photo.
• Hugs and goodbyes.
• A final Soul Star gift.
• Time to prepare for departure.
• Organized transfers to the airport.

Some places are beautiful… and then there are places like Tulum, where beauty feels like only part of the story.

On one side, the Caribbean Sea appears almost unreal in color. On the other, tropical jungle hides traces of Maya civilization, cenotes and natural landscapes that still feel full of ancient secrets.

That is exactly what makes it such a natural setting for a Soul Star experience.

One day you may be deep inside an ancient jungle. The next, swimming in fresh water beneath the earth. Then on a boat inside a nature reserve. And later, simply sitting quietly as the sun goes down.

When you join the retreat, you’ll receive:

• 8 nights at Mundo Maya Tulum
• Breakfast and dinner
• Private transportation for all included activities
• Organized airport transfers within the designated arrival and departure times
• Yoga, movement, breathwork, meditation, and journaling sessions

• Group connection and sharing sessions
• Free time for swimming, relaxing, and enjoying Tulum
• Soul Star Team with you throughout the retreat

• And plenty of spontaneous moments we haven’t added to the schedule… because those often become the best memories of the retreat.

Our Home in Mexico at 5 Stars Hotel 

Staying within nature… not away from it

Our home for the retreat will be surrounded by the natural beauty of Mexico.

We intentionally chose a retreat base immersed in the atmosphere of the jungle, rather than a traditional, crowded beachfront resort.

Why?

Because we want you to wake up surrounded by nature, head out with us for each day’s experiences and adventures, and return at the end of the day to a quieter, more peaceful place to rest and recharge.

Visa & Arrival Airport

If you hold a valid visa for the United States, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, or any Schengen Area country, you generally do not need to obtain a separate Mexican visa for tourism, provided that both your visa and passport remain valid for the duration of your stay.

If you do not hold one of these visas or an eligible permanent residence permit, you may need to apply for a Mexican visa, depending on your nationality.

Preferred arrival airport:
Tulum International Airport (TQO)

Airport pickup and transportation from Tulum International Airport to the hotel will be organized on arrival day, as well as the return transfer on departure day, within the retreat’s designated transfer times.

You may also arrive at Cancún International Airport (CUN). However, transportation to and from Cancún will be available at an additional cost.

Salah Amira and Doaa Hindi, founders of Soul Star Retreats — journeys that blend luxury with consciousness, travel with inner balance 🌿

Our story began with a simple passion: to help people pause the noise of life and experience something that reconnects them to their true essence.
From the very first retreat we organized, we knew this was more than just a project…
It was a calling — a mission to create safe and inspiring spaces where people can rediscover the meaning of peace, simplicity, and presence.

Over the past years, we’ve led dozens of journeys to destinations around the world — from Bali to Sicily, from Dahab to Zanzibar — gathering thousands of real stories that have transformed our participants from within.

We believe that true transformation doesn’t happen through words — it happens through experience.
That’s why every retreat we design is a carefully crafted blend of meditation, movement, nature, and community.

Doaa specializes in feminine energy, beauty, and self-connection.
Salah is a coach in consciousness, leadership, and transformational experience design.
Together, we bring soul and mind, heart and expertise — to create a holistic experience that touches the body, emotions, and spirit.

And this exact balance is what every person feels when they join us — a sense of safety, authenticity, and true belonging 💫
Our retreats aren’t just adventures or activities — they’re an invitation to return to yourself, discover your energy, and live life with deeper awareness and a calmer heart.

Every journey with us changes something inside you…
Not just the way you think, but the way you feel life itself.

Our purpose is always simple and clear:
That each person who joins leaves more connected, calmer, and purer within. 🌸
