About this trip

Embark on a journey through the senses at Cinco Sentidos Yoga Retreat. Led by Seattle-based Yoga Teacher Emily Dalgo at Mahekal Beach Resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, Cinco Sentidos is an all-inclusive yoga retreat that will deeply reconnect you to your senses. This wellness retreat is for anyone looking for both relaxation and adventure who wants to take a journey of sensory awakening.


Nestled between the turquoise waters of Mexico's Caribbean coast and the lush jungle, Playa del Carmen offers the perfect blend of excitement and escape. Join likeminded yogis at Cinco Sentidos to deepen your yoga practice and rediscover all of your senses.


Our home for the week, Mahekal Beach Resort, was named the Best Beachfront All-Inclusive Resort in the Riviera Maya. Mahekal is a serene, beachfront oasis with bungalow-style suites surrounded by lush tropical gardens, complete with four pools, open-air restaurants and bars, and is just two blocks from Playa's famous 5th Avenue.

What an amazing experience. Emily curated a wonderful 5 days of yoga, workshops and adventures. I came expecting great yoga in a lovely setting, but it ended up being so much more. Just the respite I needed. Can’t recommend this highly enough!

Fantastic, restorative, empowering and playful-- practicing yoga and hightening all the senses on the Caribbean shore in stunning Cancun was highlight of my year.

I had a great yoga retreat with Emily. She has that very soothing calm yoga voice and I enjoyed the whole experience. The hotel was great, her group was cohesive and it was nice getting to know some great people from other parts of the country. This has motivated me to continue my yoga practice.
