Women's Retreat & Bikini Boot Camp – On the Road to Puerto Vallarta

Charleston, SC, May 17, 2006 --(PR.com)-- The Women's Retreat & Bikini Boot Camp is heading south to Puerto Vallarta. No bikini necessary for this Six-Night health adventure on the Pacific Coast of Mexico. The focus is health and fitness with a vast array of active classes including stretch fusion which is a mix of yoga, pilates and basic stretching concepts, bikini boot camp sessions, yoga, nutrition, stress reduction, massage and body treatments and more.

Margot Rutigliano, founder of Bella Vita Retreat, felt it was time to take Bikini Boot Camp straight to the beach. Puerto Vallarta BBC is the first program of Bella Vita Retreat to go on the road to another country. With a setting fit for queens, working out will be easy with a backdrop of the ocean and a private beach. “This is the perfect place to get motivated and re-energized,” says Rutigliano.

Although Bikini Boot Camp is fitness focused, the retreat is about getting in shape and developing lifelong patterns to stay in shape. Guests should be ready to sweat though, but exercise isn't all that is included in the Six-Night Retreat. Guests enjoy interactive cooking classes along with one on one personal attention and of course the daily menu consists of ultra healthy fare. Spa treatments are delivered direct to the guest's villas and can be given beachside or poolside. All the hard work pays off with a little relaxation.

The retreat has small villas that are designer influenced with terra cota floors, tropical interiors, soft linens and plush towels. Rooms are single and double occupancy and have queen and single beds with private bathrooms, living rooms, full kitchens and full laundry rooms. A large saltwater lap pool with soft padded lounge chairs as well as a large jacuzzi is on the property surrounded by lush foliage, banana trees and many flowers. Guests will also enjoy private gardens, beach huts, meditation area and more. The location is approximately 20 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta airport and shopping area. Taxis and vans are available at an additional fee for travel to and from the resort.

Six-night stays at the retreat cost $1975 per person for a single room and $1695 per person for a shared room and include all meals and activities, taxes and service fees. Private retreats for groups can be arranged as well with a minimum of 6 people in the party. Information can be found at http://www.bellavitaus.com or call 800.768.5708 or 843.364.0790.
