Casa
Buena Art Retreat between Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan,
Mexico is a calm and beautiful place to relax, rejuvenate
and explore your creative energy.
The
colorful villages, pristine beaches, tropical jungles, and
the sounds and smells of daily life take you right into
the heart of authentic rural Mexico. Fishermen, tortilla
makers, street sweepers, donkeys, and bicycles, all add
to the colorful animated village life.
At Casa Buena Art Retreat we offer
fun and informative art vacations.
The charming setting of the Mexican back country near old
Port San Blas and two hours from Puerto Vallarta
is a motivating and inspirational backdrop in which to create
and learn, from some of the best instructors from around
the world. Choose from art workshops, yoga and dance retreats,
for groups, couples or individuals.
Experience a unique, affordable and
creative vacation by the Pacific Ocean.
Learn something, create something, have a good time, and
take your experiences home with you, in both artworks and
in memories.
We offer our spacious and well-appointed home with hacienda
veranda and beautiful tropical garden. We provide three
meals a day, comfortable accommodations in private rooms,
local transportation and entertainment.
