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.

The U.S. State Department has issued a Level 2 travel advisory for Belize, urging travelers to "exercise increased caution" when visiting the Central American country. The advisory, issued due to concerns over crime, highlights the prevalence of violent offenses, including sexual assault, armed robberies, home invasions, and even murder, often occurring during daylight hours and in tourist areas. A large portion of these crimes is tied to gang activity. 

Belize remains a popular stop for many cruise lines, including Carnival Dream, Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas, and Regal Princess, among others.
