- Solar Huts – Next to the Solar Deck, two private cabins are available for those seeking an intimate day experience, a personal consultation, workshop, or Spa treatment.
- Sun Theater – This space is purposefully designed for the joy of resting, reading, or simply allowing the eyes to wander in the limitless horizon of the Caribbean.
Going Green
The name Papaya Playa Project is congruent with its mission to constantly seek to improve its natural surroundings, our community, and individuals themselves. The Project put into action an ambitious sustainability and social responsibility mission to lead a more conscious operation and to inspire others to do the same.
- Responsible Construction & Recycling – The resort has retained 93% of the original jungle.
- Clean Water – The water which guests bathe in has the highest quality, while using the lowest energy consumption for treatment. The drinking water is transformed using the very latest environmentally friendly technology which also uses less energy for processing then typical systems. The pool water uses less chemicals and energy as well, for cleaning and enjoyment.
- Gardening & Plantations – Wastewater is treated and becomes recycled water for the irrigation of our plants and jungles. Food is locally grown wherever possible and comes from organic gardens. Papaya Playa Project has an existing cashew nut orchard with 150 banana and coconut trees.
Immersion Program
The resort’s Immersion Program is for artistic, spiritual, and wellness experiences:
Breathwork Meditation Seaside
The art and science of breath discipline, Pranayama, guides the participants through different techniques for maintaining presence within the design of each moment.
Enjoy each and every breath as you absorb the different energetic possibilities used with the motor of simple respiration.
Seaside Yoga Sadhana | Vinyasa Flow
A diverse yoga experience against the remarkable view of the Caribbean Sea allows one to refresh and restore their body, mind and spirit. Within Papaya Playa’s Chappel, this diverse practice allows guests to reconnect with their sense of Self.
Spa
Enjoy total relaxation for body and mind, with healing massages and indulgent spa treatments. At Papaya Playa Project, you will find a perfect oasis of calm, where you can de-stress and re-energize in a comfortable, pleasant and natural environment.
Immersed in the jungle, away from the city noise and surrounded by paradisiacal views, the beautiful oceanfront cabins offer unique spa treatments using organic and natural local ingredients such as coconut, honey, aloe and a special mayan clay.
*Please note that items and pricing are subject to change.
Temazcal
The Temazcal is a traditional Mayan steam bath, a sacred place in which the elemental forces of nature come together.
These sweat lodges stimulate our lymphatic system, cleanse our respiratory tract, improve blood circulation, relax the nervous system, help us to remove emotional and energetic blockages, and leave our skin feeling renewed.
