On the wellness side, The Palmaïa has brought together experts to bring you the best wellness programming, from yoga and meditation classes to cacao ceremonies. In the guest rooms, you’ll rest easy knowing everything is vegan, right down to the bamboo wristbands they give you at check-in! All of the toiletries are also vegan and locally made. 

From locally sourced food to conservation programming, Palmaïa strongly commits to sustainability and environmental stewardship. The resort incorporates various sustainability practices throughout its operations to minimize its ecological footprint and protect the surrounding natural environment.
