Bella Vita Retreat is heading straight to the Pacific Coast of Mexico with their health and fitness retreats. San Pancho, Mexico will be an additional home for these fitness packed getaways. With locations at hotels in Palm Beach, FL and Santa Barbara, CA, the retreat in San Pancho is a location built by client requests. Bella Vita Retreat will hold a few retreats in Puerto Vallarta this fall before fully converting to the location in San Pancho. The retreats are mainly focused on fitness and wellness with a wide variety of active classes and personal training including martial cardio blast which is a combination of cardio mix with martial arts influence, bikini boot camp sessions, yoga, “best abs ever”, nutrition, stress reduction, massage and more.

Margot Rutigliano, founder of Bella Vita Retreat, realized it was time to take Beach Boot Camp and Bella Weight Loss Retreats to this exciting new location when client suggestions kept pouring in for a true and authentic Mexican fitness experience. Partnering with this property in Mexico allows guests to enjoy a serene environment filled with fitness and wellness along with the amenities of a small resort. An amazing setting for motivation, working out will be easy with a backdrop of the ocean and a private beach. “This is the perfect way to tone and shape your body, get motivated and really relax and soak in all the aspects of these retreats,” says Rutigliano.

Although Bella Vita Retreat’s programs are fitness focused, the retreat is about getting in shape and developing lifelong patterns to stay in shape. Guests should be ready to sweat though, but exercise isn't all that is included. Guests enjoy massages, stress reduction sessions geared at reducing daily stress and of course ultra healthy fare prepared by a chef on the property. Spa treatments are delivered to the guest's rooms, poolside or directly on the beach. All the hard work pays off with a little relaxation.

Six-night stays at the retreat cost $2550 per person and includes accommodations, all meals and activities, massage and body treatments, taxes and service fees. Private retreats for groups can be arranged as well with a minimum of 6 people in the party. Information can be found at http://www.bvretreat.com.
