Eforea Wellness Day at Hilton Los Cabos

A Transformative Journey of Mind, Body, and Spirit

This past Saturday, October 19, I had the privilege of attending the Eforea Wellness Day at the Hilton Los Cabos—a day filled with mindfulness, healing, and connection. From the early morning check-in to the profound experiences I had throughout, every moment was beautifully curated, offering an opportunity for inner growth, relaxation, and inspiration.

A Day of Mindful Movement and Letting Go

I arrived at the Eforea Spa at 6:45 a.m., where we were welcomed with a welcome kit and confirmation of our spa appointments. Shortly after, we gathered at the Blue Marlin Terrace for a gentle morning meditation led by Marcela Beltrán, followed by a stunning vinyasa flow yoga class with Azul from La Palapa Mágica.

Azul shared that her classes are guided by astrological movements, and this session was aligned with the Aries new moon, a time to release what no longer serves us and make space for new beginnings. Practicing with the ocean breeze on my skin and the sound of waves in the background was absolutely magical.

From Breathwork to Ice Baths: A Journey of Deep Surrender

After yoga, we changed into swimsuits and prepared for breathwork with Marcela. She guided us to align our breathing and get ready for what was next—a plunge into the ice baths at the Mio Terrace. The setting was serene, with three tubs filled with ice, offering the perfect environment to push beyond comfort zones and connect deeply with our breath.

We then took a well-deserved break for breakfast at Talavera, one of the Hilton’s restaurants. We enjoyed a special price for their buffet, which was a treat! The food was fresh and nourishing—a perfect way to recharge for the rest of the day.

Emotional Release Meets Inspiration

My massage appointment at Eforea Spa was the highlight of the day. Arriving 30 minutes early, I enjoyed their steam room, cold shower, and jacuzzi—a perfect prelude to relaxation. My massage therapist, Ana Luz, was exceptional. She focused on the tension I’d been carrying in my shoulders, and as she worked through my knots, I felt an emotional release so intense that it moved me to tears—not from pain, but from letting go of emotional baggage.

This moment was a profound epiphany: I realized that the tension in my body reflected deeper emotional burdens, and perhaps it was time to shift my perspective on a personal matter. Gratitude and joy welled up within me, reminding me of the power of healing touch.

Following my massage, I attended a talk by Courtney Runyon, who shared her incredible journey of recovering from a life-threatening condition. Her story resonated deeply with me, as it reminded me of my own decision to leave everything behind and move to Mexico in search of radical change. Courtney’s message was a beautiful reminder that even in the face of hardship, we can thrive and rebuild.

A Perfect Day at the Hilton Los Cabos

With the hotel’s day pass, I spent time floating in the crystal-clear waters of one of Cabo’s few swimmable beaches, which was an absolute joy. Floating in the ocean, feeling supported by the water, is one of my favorite things—it’s a moment of surrender to Mother Earth.

I also took a dip in the Hilton’s pools and enjoyed a delicious meal at Leña, their poolside restaurant. The food was fantastic, and the staff's service made me feel truly pampered.

Closing with Breathwave and Sound Healing

The day ended back at the Blue Marlin Terrace with a powerful Breathwave session led by Ofelia, supported by Javier and Gaby. With Javier’s guidance, I was able to access a deeper state of calm and surrender through my breath.

Then came the sound healing experience with Fernanda, which took everything to the next level. The vibrations and sounds transported me to another dimension—a space where I felt at one with everything around me. It was a truly transformative and indescribable experience.

Gratitude for a Magical Day

I’m immensely grateful to Marcela and everyone involved for creating such a beautiful and transformative day. These experiences remind me of the importance of taking time to heal, reflect, and grow.

I encourage anyone reading this to make the effort to attend events like these. We deserve to nurture ourselves, and we’re fortunate to be surrounded by talented wellness professionals and healers here in Cabo who can help us live our best lives.

Mindfully,

Sam.
