Amansala
An alternative to the barrage of luxury complexes lining the Mayan Riviera coastline, this rustic-chic resort in Tulum offers a healthy, tranquil retreat with no pretensions. Amansala is best known for its 6-night "Bikini Bootcamp" – a robust regime of yoga, meditation, salsa dancing , and more, designed to get guests (note that some retreats are women-only) into tip-top swimsuit-shape. This all-inclusive program includes cabana lodging, with digs ranging from a one-room thatched-roof hut to an ultra-classy luxury suite – expect private bathrooms, mosquito-netted beds, and running hot water (in all but one unit). Rates also include all meals, with an emphasis on low-fat, organic ingredients (think freshly-caught grilled fish and fresh mangos). The coup de grace on the package, though, are the heavenly extras like massages and a Mayan clay treatment, piled onto the traditional resort offerings like snorkeling, bike-riding, and more. www.amansala.com
