WELCOME TO OUR ECOLODGE
Unplug, rejuvenate, and explore natural paradise on Mexico’s Pacific coastline in San Pancho, Nayarit — just north of Puerto Vallarta. The Tailwind Jungle Lodge is an ecolodge created with love by the Jacobi family in 2005. Our sustainable lodge welcomes families, yoga and wellness retreats, and adventure travelers from the USA, Canada and Mexico to the UK, Europe and beyond — from couples and honeymooners to solo explorers — all who delight in this vibrant jungle, stunning wild beaches and glamping experience.
Our jungle motto? Slow down and enjoy life! Creatively designed palapas and casitas are perched among the palms, offering glamping and tree-house-style comfort with a touch of Swiss Family Robinson magic. Every day here brings a new adventure: jungle hikes, sailing, surfing, yoga, massage, SUP, or simply relaxing in a hammock.
If you're seeking a sustainable family vacation, adventure travel, glamping experience or retreat in Mexico, this is the place. Your experience here will make you feel alive, inspired, and deeply connected to nature. We look forward to sharing our San Pancho eco-lodge with you. Natural bliss in Riviera Nayarit awaits!
WHICH GLAMPING EXPERIENCE SUITS YOU BEST?
Tailwind has a collection of 7 different creatively designed eco-friendly palapas and casitas, all of which are perched on the jungle hillside to minimize environmental impact. Each unit offers a glamping experience with a variety of jungle and ocean views. Ask us what might suit you the best!
