The Food

  

Savor the Flavors at Topia: A Culinary Journey of Nurturing and Wellness

At Topia, we believe that food is more than sustenance; it's a universal language that speaks to the soul. Our culinary experience is a celebration of Mexican Healthy cuisine, a harmonious blend of local traditions and Chef Gregoria's artistry with the freshest organic ingredients. As nature meets nurture, our meals are a tangible expression of intentional care and diversity.

Balancing Act: From the sizzle of chilaquiles to the comfort of chile relleno, our menu dances between the rich tapestry of traditional Mexican flavors and the desire for a healthy twist. Picture a symphony of flavors where fruit salads meet vegan chickpea scrambles, offering a perfect balance for every craving – because sometimes you need something light, and sometimes you need food that sticks to your ribs.

Careful Planning for All: Our professional culinary team understands the intricacies of meal planning for large groups. Accommodating allergies, sensitivities, or personal preferences, we strive to create a dining experience tailored to each guest's needs. At Topia, we advocate for meals that nourish not only the body but also the mind and soul. Our Mexican-inspired dishes are not just delicious and nutritious; they carry that special touch that leaves you feeling cared for – call it love.

Surprise: Mexican Food is Healthy Food: We take pride in highlighting the delightful and nutritious aspects of traditional Mexican cuisine. Mexico's diverse states contribute to a nuanced and healthy culinary landscape. In Baja Sur, our culinary melting pot combines traditional flavors with fresh local ingredients, creating a fusion that celebrates our vibrant community.

Local Bounty, Fresh Delight: Topia is surrounded by small-scale farms, offering a bounty of locally sourced fruits, vegetables, greens, and herbs. Our temperate microclimate ensures diverse, fresh, local produce throughout the seasons. The abundance of water and fertile soil in this oasis ecosystem contributes to the flourishing crops.

More Than Omnivores: Baja Sur's culinary scene extends beyond omnivores. In our community, plant-based diversity thrives, offering a plethora of locally sourced options. From organic eggs to local goat cheese, our chefs craft dishes that cater to plant-based eaters, ensuring a satisfying experience for all.

Ocean-to-Table Magic: Situated in El Pescadero, "The Fisherman" in English, Topia is surrounded by the southwestern corner's tranquil cove, Punta Lobos. Here, local fishermen bring in an abundance of fresh catches like tuna, yellowtail, dorado, red snapper, grouper, mackerel, and marlin. Our chefs transform these ocean treasures into mouth-watering dishes, such as grilled fish with olive oil, lime, and salt or tantalizing fish tacos with fresh toppings and savory salsas.

A Day of Culinary Delight: Each day of your retreat is a culinary journey. From early morning continental snacks to a plated brunch, afternoon snacks, and light bites, to a family-style dinner – every meal is crafted to leave you satisfied and satiated.

Embark on a culinary adventure at Topia, where every bite is a celebration of wellness and mindful indulgence.

Hi Friends! My name is Melody. I have been practicing yoga on and off (mostly on now) for about 18 years and I graduated with my 200hr RYT certification in 2015 from Boulevard Yoga in Kansas City MO. Since then, I've also completed my Barre Above Certification in 2018, CRYT in 2019, Yoga Sculpt Certification in 2020, and my 500HR RYT in 2021. In my classes, I offer a mindful Vinyasa and Hatha practices that focus on meditation and movement. I love being able to use yoga to create community and connection where ever I am.

It was a magical experience. Yoga from amazing teachers in the most incredible and unique venue. It was a once in a lifetime trip!

It was wonderful, and the food was delicious. I would advise asking them to bring more coffee in the mornings for the group of people, but they usually accommodated when we asked. The scenery was beautiful and the yoga room was lovely. We also enjoyed the tour of the property, harvesting from the garden and the cooking class! The extra massages and radionic therapy with the owner of the property were amazing.

This was the first yoga retreat for both me, and my sister. Our six day stay at Mar de Jade was magical! The food was amazing, the people were warm and welcoming, and the ocean view was pure heaven. It was everything we wished it would be: a charming place to unwind, freedom to relax, and two daily yoga classes (if you wish). But the yoga was amazing. The instructors, Melody, Darcy, and Kate were super nice and supportive, and my sister and I learned a lot about yoga. (Who knew I could do a baby grasshopper!) It was nice to have different instructors with different perspectives, with so many helpful tips. Melody was an amazing host and I’m so happy I chose this retreat!

This was my first time traveling to a Yoga retreat. It was a fantastic experience and I would do another one. The whole trip was very organized and the classes were for everyone. I am not experienced in yoga, but never felt that I couldn’t take part. Everyone on the trip was supportive and friendly. I will stay in touch with them from now on, as friendships were made during this time away. The only negative thing, however it was out of our control, was the power and A/C issues at the resort. It would usually happen during the night and you would wake up hot realizing the power was off. I hope they fix the issue, because otherwise it was a great place. All the food was so fresh and tasty, my massage at the Spa (Robert) was amazing, and the staff were all friendly and helpful. I can’t wait to be able to travel again with Melody.

This trip was more than I expected. Mar De Jade is a very special place. The staff was so accommodating and kind. The grounds were beautiful and the yoga was fabulous. Melody did a wonderful job of hosting a lovey retreat.
