Embark on this Sensual Heeling Retreat - a transformative 7 days in Playa del Carmen, México - where the warm weather, Caribbean Sea, and Latin culture create an equally enchanting and exciting backdrop for deep healing and movement exploration. With a mix of meditative stretches, sensual heels classes, a look at Tulum’s Mayan ruins, a visit to beautiful underground cenote, a gorgeous beach photoshoot and more, this trip is sure to provide a complete retreat that will strengthen your relationship to self and solidify friendships that will last a lifetime. And this year, we’re leveling up with a private luxury villa just steps from the beach, a daily private chef for almost all meals, and a total relaxation day with included spa services and a personal bartender all to ourselves! The goal of this trip is to offer students the opportunity to get away from the daily stressors of life and to connect more genuinely with themselves - their bodies, minds, and spirits - in a completely calming vacation environment with the support of their retreat family.
​
Intermediate level classes will be provided, perfect for the beginner looking for a push or the advanced dancer interested in feeling themselves! This holistic itinerary provides a harmonious balance of cultural exploration, spiritual enrichment, physical connection, and community building, leaving you with a renewed sense of self and a new chosen family.
Take a look at the itinerary for more details on our day-to-day activities :)

FAQS
I’M NERVOUS TO BOOK, HOW CAN I FEEL MORE CONFIDENT?
First, let me say — it's totally understandable, and you're not alone! Travel can feel intimidating, but I build these retreats to take the guesswork out of group travel and earn your trust every step of the way:
​
-
Emma will be there to foster comfort and connection — you'll arrive solo but never feel alone.
-
Itineraries are clearly outlined so you exactly know what to expect.
-
Emma's team is available to support you every step of the way pre-departure via email.
-
We always recommend travel insurance for extra peace of mind. It can cover medical issues, lost luggage or even cancellations.
-
The cost of your retreat paid to Emma Rosa LLC does not include travel insurance. We recommend acquiring travel insurance through the third party of your choice. ​
-
​
We know it takes trust to book a trip with new people — we're here to make sure you feel ready, supported, and excited!
We understand that life happens. Our cancellation policy is designed to provide flexibility while balancing the logistics of group travel:
​
-
25% Deposit at Checkout - Only refundable if someone on the waitlist registers for the trip, at which point a refund will be made to your original payment method (minus a $100 cancellation fee per traveler).
-
Within 120 days of trip start date – At this point, all payments are non-refundable because your experience is already in motion behind the scenes.
​
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Protect Your Adventure–Invest in Peace of Mind
We strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance from the third party of your choice with trip cancellation coverage to safeguard your investment. With travel insurance, you’re covered in case of unexpected events–from illness to emergencies–that could affect your plans. Life is unpredictable, but your dream trip doesn’t have to be.
WILL I HAVE FREE TIME?
Yes! While we pack in incredible experiences, most itineraries include built-in free time so you can relax, wander, or check out personal must-sees. Also keep in mind that every activity is optional! So don’t sweat it if you need to miss a group activity.
WHO CAN I CONTACT WITH MORE QUESTIONS?
Our support team is here to help! Email sensualheelingretreat@gmail.com to reach out. You can expect to hear back within 48 business hours, but probably sooner!
DO I NEED ANY DOCUMENTATION TO TRAVEL?
Though it is not a universal requirement, many countries require that your passport be valid for at least six months
beyond your arrival date. This ensures travelers have sufficient time to return home even if their visas are extended or
if unexpected circumstances arise.
Take a look at the Méxican government’s travel page for more personalized information -
DO I NEED ANY VACCINES?
It’s always best to check with your healthcare provider or a travel doctor before your trip. You can also visit the CDC website (or your local government’s travel health resource) for destination-specific vaccine guidance.
Health and safety first!
CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE MY DIETARY NEEDS?
We’ll do our very best! Our team aims to accommodate dietary restrictions, though availability varies by destination. For example, some places offer plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices, while others might be quite limited. The earlier you let us know—through your trip form (provided shortly after booking) or by contacting our support team—
the better we can prepare. Once you arrive, be sure to remind Emma and your villa’s private chef about any allergies or restrictions so that they can help you enjoy your meals safely and comfortably.
WHAT AIRPORT SHOULD I FLY INTO?
We recommend that you fly into Cancun International Airport which is just about one hour away from our private villa in Playa del Carmen!
