In a world that glorifies busy, there’s something quietly revolutionary about pressing pause. That’s why calmcations—getaways rooted in rest, reconnection, and restoration—are one of the top travel trends for 2025. And if you’re looking to trade screen time for sunrise yoga and inboxes for inner peace, Casa Xixim in Tulum’s secluded Soliman Bay might just be your sanctuary.
As seen on Netflix’s The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals, this eco-luxury villa doesn’t just invite you to unwind—it shows you how. Nestled on a private stretch of coastline and designed with sustainable elegance, Casa Xixim is a wellness destination where barefoot luxury meets ancient Mayan wisdom, and every detail is a love letter to the land, the sea, and the spirit.
A Villa That Breathes With Nature
Casa Xixim’s architecture, dreamt up by Specht Novak and brought to life by proprietors Dave and Jenny Blizard, blurs the line between indoors and out. Walls glide open to invite in the breeze; a rooftop hammock deck offers front-row seats to sunrise and sunset.
The villa is completely self-sufficient, crafted with minimal environmental impact, and immersed in the region’s lush ecosystems. It’s not just a place to stay—it’s a place to feel alive.
Wellness, Rooted in Ritual
Casa Xixim’s approach to wellness is holistic, grounded, and deeply personal. Think ancient Mayan traditions paired with contemporary self-care—no rigid schedules, just a wellspring of curated experiences waiting to be tapped. With a dedicated concierge to tailor your journey, you can mix and match from a robust menu of soul-nourishing offerings:
- Shaman Ceremonies: From traditional Limpia cleansings to solstice celebrations, these sacred rituals tap into the timeless energy of the land.
- Cacao Ceremonies: Begin the day with an intimate beachfront gathering, guided meditation, and heart-opening elixirs.
- Sound Healing: Let vibrations wash over you in a private session, either on-site or in a magical cenote cave.
- Daily Yoga: Ground and elevate with rooftop sessions customized to your flow, led by top-tier local practitioners.
- Creative Workshops: Get hands-on with tortilla-making or botanical dyeing—perfect for awakening your inner artist.
- Nourishing Cuisine: House chefs craft gourmet meals using organic, locally-sourced ingredients, accompanied by inventive healing elixirs.
Tulum’s Soulful Side
Long celebrated for its spiritual energy and natural beauty, Tulum is also home to a vibrant network of wellness practitioners. Casa Xixim has cultivated partnerships with the region’s most gifted healers, creating a supportive and intuitive space where transformation feels as effortless as the ocean tide.
Whether you’re craving movement, stillness, clarity, or joy (or maybe all of the above), this serene retreat meets you where you are. Every stay is uniquely designed, blending fitness, mindfulness, and cultural immersion to help you reconnect with your best self.
The Joy of Missing Out
At Casa Xixim, the Wi-Fi’s strong—but your connection to yourself is even stronger. This is the kind of place where you wake up with the sun, not your alarm. Where time moves to the rhythm of the waves, not the workday. Where the biggest decision you’ll make is whether to book a massage before or after your cacao ceremony.
It’s not just a vacation. It’s a recalibration.
