Bottom Line
Haramara is arguably one of the most special hotels in
Mexico. It is a luxurious yoga retreat located on 12 seaside acres of
wild vegetation just outside Sayulita. The structures have been built
using traditional construction techniques to minimize the environmental
impact, and there is no electricity anywhere besides the
restaurant and the
yoga studio -- not even in the rooms. Each
room
is housed in a private standalone thatched hut with no window panes or
screens separating it from the jungle, and only gauze curtains and
mosquito
nets
to avoid bugs and critters. It is geared towards those in need of some
detoxification and relaxation, with yoga and meditation classes, an
open-air
spa, a vegetarian and seafood restaurant, unpaved trails, and limited cell phone service
