finding relaxation in loreto // travel

i shared all about the

activities and adventure

you can find when visiting

villa del palmar loreto

yesterday

, but today i'm going to share how you'll probably want to spend your time after you've hiked and paddled and need a break. now, i know i might have made it sound like you need to be on the move all the time at the resort as there is so much to do

…

but this resort truly is designed around pure relaxation. placed on a piece of land with the most calm, clear water and guarded by the islands, it's the complete opposite of a beach vacation in say, cabo or maui.

relax at one of the many pools scattered throughout the property. but first, stop by the coconut shack for a hydrating coconut, or have them blend up a refreshing cocktail made with the fresh coconut water. of course, we went for the cocktails (which i'll be trying to replicate!).

your bartender literally cracks open a fresh coconut for your drink.

how i am planning my trip back to stay in this little bungalow. but i probably shouldn't say little. it consists of a full living room, bedroom, spacious bathroom and private deck with amazing ocean views. with it's own space on a corner of the property, this would make the perfect getaway for a honeymoon or anniversary.

that deck is practically begging you to never leave the comfort of your own space. it is set up for dining, relaxing in the sun, and a casual cocktail are

…

not pictured? the private jacuzzi.

but a vacation would really not be complete without at least one massage or treatment right? we were treated to a relaxing massage one of our days at the resort as well as encouraged to take advantage of the amenities like the aloe and epsom salt baths. perfect after a few days in the sun.

outfitted in traditional decor and gorgeous art pieces from local artists, the spa was worthy of just the tour.

finally, i couldn't leave out the cocktails and bars you can spend plenty of time at. with a mixologist on site, every single cocktail was perfect and many of them were things we had never tried

…

hard to achieve these days! i'd have to say my favorite was the adorable beach bar. the bar tenders were so friendly and even taught us a few things.

and all of that happened in just 3 days! imagine if you could spend a week at this gem.
