Accommodation

Retreaters and adventurers (couples, families, honeymooners, and solo travelers) from around the globe delight in this radiant jungle and stunning wild beaches.
Tailwind has a collection of 7 different creatively designed units—bungalows, palapas, and casitas, all of which are perched on the hillside to minimize environmental impact.

From the lodge, it’s about a 20-minute walk along a lovely jungle trail to a secluded beach that will take your breath away (the Tailwind team's favorite beach in the world!). White sand, lush jungle, and a special kind of therapeutic mud (bentonite mud) that is great for the skin!! Sunbathe, swim, picnic, and enjoy a natural spa treatment . . . bliss, yup! It’s definitely worth the short hike.
