Flowing curves, swimming pool and lots of luxurious space…Aqua Villa is full of light and space with multiple living areas, gourmet kitchen and much more to enjoy on holiday in Mexico. Aqua Villa has a privileged location. It is just few minutes walking distance to the beach and is also very close to downtown Playa del Carmen. A relaxing 10-15 minute walk will take you to “La 5ta Ave.”, the heart of playa where you will find shopping, dinning and entertainment.

Perched at the end of the street with its massive half turret and cubist pop-art exterior, Aqua is more like a modern castle than a villa, complete with a moat-like swimming pool and wide lawn on its garden side.

A wide front door swings open to its great room, an expansive area that creates the illusion of being outdoors by means of its interior garden, high ceiling and curved glass wall. Windows cover the entire side of the room. The dining room has its own set of ceiling-to-floor windows and a dining table that sits up to 10 people.

Everybody knows that Yoga is a great way to harmonize the mind with the body, and that the regular practice of this discipline only brings benefits… so why not make this facing the sea, followed by a quick dip in the ocean and a tropical fruit breakfast with coffee or tea? Then let Arielle, founder of Yoga by the Sea guide you through this amazing experience!

Arielle Thomas Newman is an Experienced Registered Yoga Alliance Teacher (E-RYT 500) with over 20 years of professional yoga teaching experience. She has developed an eclectic style of teaching yoga, drawing from her study with world renowned yoga teachers such as Judith Lasater, Erich Shiffmann, John Friend, and Rodney Yee. Her lyrical Vinyasa Flow sequences reflect her career as a modern dancer and National Endowment for the Arts – funded choreographer.

Benefits of Yoga

What yoga does is harmonize the mind with the body and this results in real quantum benefits. It is now an open secret that the will of the mind has enabled people to achieve extraordinary physical feats, which proves beyond doubtthe mind and body connection.

Yoga through meditation works remarkably to achieve this harmony and helps the mind work in sync with the body. How often do we find that we are unable to perform our activities properly and in a satisfying manner because of the confusions and conflicts in our mind weigh down heavily upon us? Moreover, stress which in reality is the #1 killer affecting all parts of our physical, endocrinal and emotional systems can be corrected through the wonderful yoga practice of meditation.

If you want to make a real and everlasting change in your life, this is the chance you might not want to miss. Arielle is waiting you for an unforgettable experience in the soothing beaches of Playa del Carmen.

One of the attractions you will encounter visiting Playa del Carmen or Cozumel is the opportunity to swim with Whale Sharks. And is also something that is gaining more followers each year. That is why we would like to shed some light about the subject on this brief post.

A lifetime experience

Most people tremble at the thought of sharks. But, what most people didn´t know is that these thirty-foot long natural wonders are very dociles creatures, eating only plankton and do not attack humans. In fact, they do not have teeth!

Whale Sharks are not whales, but are in fact the largest filter feeder fish on the planet. These gentle giants are indifferent to people, and slow swimmers in relation to their colossal size, gliding along at approximately 3 mph (5 kph). Whale Sharks visit the Yucatan Peninsula’s Caribbean coast during the summer season to feed on tiny fish and plankton that gather near the surface. This presents an ideal opportunity to see these docile creatures up close in their natural habitat. However this small window of opportunity lasts only a short time, before the Whale Sharks head south toward the warmer waters of Central and South America until the following year.
