Om Sweet Om at Bikini Boot Camp

Amansala is the eco chic resort located in Tulum, Mexico. The resort is a combination of fitness activities, spa treatments and eco-friendly surroundings. It has proven particularly popular with female travelers and even attracted some celebrities.
Amansala was created after the 9/11 attacks by two friends Melissa and Erica, both native New Yorkers, as a place to escape the trappings of city life, and be quiet in a beautiful place where you can focus on you, your body, and your purpose in life. The focus here is simple living, healthy eating and Yoga.

"Women come here to gain new perspective on life. The experience is more than the name bikini boot camp implies," co-owner Melissa Perlman says.

A typical day begins with a silent beach walk, Yoga, a body treatment, then a low calorie lunch, exercise, meditation, candle light dinner and ending with creative free writing in your bohemian chic, austere accommodation. Its really designed to get you back to basics with no distractions of television, newspapers and parties.

Reservations are only taken online and is all inclusive except for your flight.
