## What it's like

Casa Kura Kura sits in Los Zacatitos, a small, quiet community on the East Cape of Baja California Sur, where the desert runs down to the Sea of Cortez. The property is off-grid and runs on solar power, yet it still has air conditioning, purified drinking water and fast Wi-Fi throughout. The beach is about a ten-minute walk away.

It's a small place, which is the point. There's a three-bedroom main house, the Hawksbill Casa, and a one-bedroom casita, the Flatback. Shared spaces include outdoor kitchens, a saltwater pool, two rooftop yoga shalas, a shaded palapa and gardens growing edible and medicinal plants. The interiors have a relaxed, bohemian eco-chic feel.

The name means sea turtle. Host Agathe Fay, a holistic mental health guide, says the idea for a healing sanctuary came to her during a hypnotherapy session, and her family built the project in Baja. Outside picked Casa Kura Kura for its 2026 list of the world's best wellness destinations.

## The programs

Every retreat here is private and built around you, so the formats below are starting points rather than fixed schedules:

- **Anxiety and Burnout:** nervous system regulation, somatic therapy, mindfulness and a digital detox
- **Couples Intimacy-Building:** partner yoga, breathwork and guided exercises around trust and communication
- **Teen Surf and Yoga:** a private program for anxious teens mixing surfing, yoga, meditation and breathing practice
- **Bespoke Healing:** pick from psychotherapy, energy work, bodywork, temazcal sauna sessions, art therapy, sound healing and outdoor adventures
- **Substance Detox and Recovery:** a four-week, nurse-supervised program with on-call medical care and trauma-informed therapy

Wellness services include personalized yoga, breathwork, somatic therapies, Reiki and the temazcal-inspired sauna. You can also simply rent the property for a private stay, or bring your own group: facilitators can host small retreats here and ask the team to arrange chefs, practitioners and transport.

## Food

A private chef can be arranged for retreats and selected stays. Menus are tailored to you, including vegetarian and pescatarian options, and often use produce from the gardens. Outdoor kitchens are there if you'd rather cook.

## Who it suits (and who it doesn't)

Casa Kura Kura is a good fit for people who want deep, personal support in a quiet setting: someone recovering from burnout, a couple reconnecting, a family working through a hard patch, or a teacher looking for a small venue.

It isn't a resort. There's no restaurant, spa building or daily class timetable for drop-in guests, and you won't meet other travelers unless they're in your own group.

## Getting there

Fly into Los Cabos International Airport. The property is about 35 minutes away, and the team can help arrange private airport transport through local providers.
