As we approach 2025, wellness retreats are still one of the hottest trends in travel, but not everyone is ready to commit to a week of detoxes and silent reflection. Enter FTLO Travel’s new Mindfulness and Margaritas Retreat in Oaxaca, Mexico, designed for those who crave the benefits of a wellness retreat without giving up indulgence or adventure.

This five-day trip offers the perfect blend of accessible wellness practices, cultural exploration, local flavors, and just the right amount of fun.

What to expect from the experience

Each day of the Mindfulness and Margaritas Retreat starts with a grounding session, whether it’s meditation, yoga, or intention-setting workshops, designed to center you for the day ahead. But the afternoons are where the adventure begins. Explore the natural beauty of the region with a day trip to the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua, followed by a meditation session at an ancient Zapotec site, or wander through the charming streets of Oaxaca City, soaking in the local culture.

You’ll also have the opportunity to learn the art of mezcal-making at a family-run distillery, and enjoy delicious drinks with stunning rooftop views. All of these experiences are included in your ticket.

Meals are included as part of the retreat, featuring 4 breakfasts, 2 lunches, and 2 dinners, along with a welcome drink to kick off your stay. Accommodations are in a shared room with one other person, with the option to upgrade to a private room for a more personal retreat experience.

Vacation with water in mind
Royal Lahaina in Maui

We're well into 2025, and as a society, we seem more mindful than ever. Extra thought is going into every facet of our lives, from mindful eating habits to supporting brands we not only appreciate, but genuinely believe in. Wellness is all over the travel industry, too, just as animal therapy and digital detox retreats, among many, many others.

The latest and greatest in the nomadic heap might just be blue mind travel. It may be trending, but it pulls from an age-old fact: Being in the company of water can calm the body and reduce stress. That's why when so many of us think of vacation, we think of a lapping beach, a gurgling stream, or a peaceful float on a river.
