October 14 -21, 2023
Last year's first-ever Destination Boudoir Retreat to Portugal went SO well that I'm offering one this year, too! This time, we're going to the southern coast of Mexico to the sexy, peaceful and beautiful beachside eco-resort of Playa Viva!
Traveling to Mexico is fairly simple and the resort staff speak English which makes it easy for an inexperienced traveler. PLUS, I will arrange special sightseeing and accommodations so you don't need to worry! You DO need a passport to travel to Mexico. You do NOT need to be vaccinated against COVID-19.
My destination sessions are limited in the number of clients I bring so that I can offer each attendee a "petite" boudoir session. As of August 28th, there is only ONE SPOT REMAINING!
This retreat is for women who:
Want a relaxing week focused on the beauty and sacredness of the feminine
Are inspired and rejuvenated by the beauty of nature and are not intimidated by the outdoors
Want to experience a “petite” boudoir shoot in a gorgeous and unique setting, whether it’s your first time doing boudoir or your tenth
Are interested in goal setting, self-love, and healing workshop activities
Are willing to step outside of their comfort zone (in an exciting way!)
Would appreciate forming meaningful and nurturing friendships with like-minded women

Accommodations at Playa Viva
Our group will be staying in EcoCasitas. The EcoCasitas are one-bedroom self-contained "Casitas" (little houses). They provide complete privacy, and are outfitted with a Queen bed. These rooms have an unobstructed ocean view and a private bathroom on the same level and feature sliding doors that that open for a 180° degree ocean view or close for complete privacy. A small table and chairs are also available.
If you are traveling with someone you know, we will put the two (or three) of you in a room together. Otherwise, roommates will be assigned based on a short questionnaire.
If you wish to book your own private accommodations, the single supplement cost for a Studio is $500 and these are available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Playa Viva is located in 5 minutes away from Juluchuca, Mexico. The average October temperatures are highs around 88° F and lows around 75° F, with an average of only 4-5 inches of rain for the month.
A unique Eco Luxury destination, Playa Viva has something for everyone. Enjoy the rugged, unspoiled beauty of Mexico in the guilt-free luxury of an environmentally conscious resort dedicated to sustainability and regenerative practices.
Each of the 12 eco-luxury rooms has a beachfront view. Immerse yourself in nature, attend their morning yoga practice, volunteer in the turtle sanctuary, give back to the local community, engage in a workshop, or just relax completely in paradise.
Playa Viva food is what they would describe as healthy Mexican.
They focus on traditional Mexican meals, but cook with minimal oil and healthy, local ingredients. They strive to get as many organic ingredients as possible and grow as much of their food on site as they can (on their small farm).
They are able to accommodate a wide variety of dietary concerns including vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, omnivore and even Kosher, not to mention special care to address any allergies, gluten free, sugar free and other food concerns.

What do the women from the 2022 Portugal Retreat have to say about their experience?
"Portugal with Alisha was a once in a lifetime trip. I have never experienced an event that was so rewarding and affirming to who I am as an individual. I appreciated Alisha’s planning of events and her previous knowledge of the area. It was also great how flexible Alisha was in change of plans and how she always had a way to make it fun and eventful. I can’t think of a single thing I would have changed that was in her ability to do so. I loved how she got me outside of my comfort zone and I did things I would never do, like staying out late at a bar (though I did bring a book), doing topless photos on the beach, going swimming!!! and doing things just for me. It blew my expectations out of the water! Thank you for an amazing experience, and if I can, I will go on future trips!" - Faith
“I loved everything about the trip - it was wonderful, I had a great time. The activities and the free days were both set up very well; I liked that we were able to fill in the free time of the schedule with things we wanted to do. The camaraderie between all the women on the trip was amazing! I think we all got along really well - our personalities blended, we bonded, and everyone had a phenomenal time. Plus, I got hot portraits taken on the beach in Portugal! I highly enjoyed myself.” - Alexandra
"I hadn't traveled outside of the country before this trip, so being able to do it for the first time with a good friend was ideal. Portugal was a perfect place to go because it’s on the coast (which is what I always look for!) and has a great culture and awesome food. I loved that everything about the trip was planned out for me - I didn’t have to worry about a thing. It was a perfect first experience outside of the U.S.
I was even pleasantly surprised that with a shared house of 8 women, there was NO drama - everyone got along because that's all what we wanted to do...be in Portugal and have an amazing experience with like-minded people. There was literally nothing I would change - we went to a winery, we acted like tourists, we went out on the water several times…we did everything I could have wanted to do, and at the end of the trip I felt very fulfilled. I can't wait for the next retreat so that I can feel the same way again!” - Drew
