**
Account for the lengthy check in tour upon arriving at Palmaia before freshening up and walking to the opening ceremony location.


Key considerations for booking your travel arrangements and stay at Palmaia. We suggest that you arrive the evening before we begin our activities for the retreat so that you will have ease landing in the space and can arrive at the opening ceremony before it starts on Thursday. The retreat activities and closing ceremony will last through the early afternoon, so we suggest departing on Monday.

  • Traffic to and from the Cancun airport is unknown as it is the only highway and road to Playa Del Carmen.
  • The commute can be anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours if a traffic accident can close the road for an unknown period of time, customs, awaiting luggage from baggage claim, etc.
  • The Check-in process for Palmaia can take up to an hour between entering the private property Front desk to commute onto the magical property of The House of Aia. A tour of the grounds, becoming familiar with the WhatsApp and Nomad Guide process (required for all things concierges, housekeeping, special requests, meal reservations, AND or group will have a channel) before you are settled into your fabulous room.
  • The departures are set 4 hours before your takeoff to account for any delays in traffic, customs, etc. This is a regulatory process between the Department of Transportation of the Cancun Airport and the Transportation Company solely for Palmaia.
  • So consider your time to be picked up from your room with your belongings by the shuttle back to the Front Desk building to check out and before loading up for your transport.


Sunday, April 19th
Sunday we will officially wrap up around 6:15 - 7:00pm, after closing ceremony and head to dinner which will go later.
