Santo Tomas Retreats – Directors & Sisters

Hanna & Erin

Hanna Hinze and Erin Lowe grew up in Arizona with Santo Tomas, Mexico as a home away from home since birth. Their fondest memories growing up include wonderful adventures all around the beautiful Southwest United States. They grew up with parents who studied nutrition, holistic health and regional ecology, and led an active lifestyle which fostered an instinctual love for healthy living. For years, Hanna and Erin brought friends and family to Santo Tomas to marvel in its beauty, to enjoy time bonding and to be refreshed in this peaceful secluded setting. The freedom, fresh air, welcoming beach and vast blue ocean created a true sanctuary for these sisters their entire lives and inspired in them a sense of adventure and desire to explore the natural wonders of this beautiful world.

Hanna and Erin spent summers traveling, hiking and camping throughout the national and state parks and public lands, exploring unbeaten paths all around the world, and reveling in the rich history, cultures and natural beauty of each destination! They’ve dedicated their lives to gaining education and experience in hospitality, education, health and wellness and in crafting destination events mindfully; with purpose and passion. Now with their health retreats, Hanna and Erin share this revitalizing experience with their treasured guests. Their dream of holding health retreats at beautiful Santo Tomas became a reality over 6 years ago and they’re now expanding to the Southwestern United States with more magical locations to come! Come join the adventure and retreat with STR

Reviews

Hanna and Erin, It is so amazing to see all that you and your family has done to make Santo Tomas such a wonderful experience. I came here to reset with little expectation. I was able to do just that and SO MUCH MORE! Awesome yoga, yummy and nutritious food and the massages were so relaxing and straight SOUL FOOD! Great work! Love you both!

Laura K.Chandler, AZ

My 2^nd retreat and it only gets better. I feel like I really got a chance to recharge my batteries. The food was so nourishing, the yoga so healing, and the environment so peaceful. The Sea of Cortez is truly medicine for the soul. I love it here!

Ashley N.Phoenix, AZ

For my first trip outside of the U.S. I could not have gone to a more life changing place. You and your family are the kindest and most passionate people I know. Santo Tomas is magical and has an energy unlike anything I have ever experienced.

Aaron F.Houston, TX

This weekend was just what I needed! The energy was uplifting, while the companionship, yoga and paddle boarding all nurtured my soul. I feel refreshed, energized and creative again. Thank you for sharing Santo Tomas with us! I can’t wait to come back again!

Santo Tomas, Mexico Retreats:

Where is Santo Tomas, Mexico (retreat location map)?

Is transportation included to Santo Tomas? No. Transportation to and from our Santo Tomas Retreat is the guest’s responsibility and is not included in our retreat pricing. However, as an optional complimentary service, we will meet guests at a predetermined time in Puerto Penasco “Rocky Point” so guests can follow our guide for the 1 hour drive from Rocky Point to Santo Tomas. While many people have driven to Santo Tomas and are familiar with the route, we want to offer this guided caravan option from Rocky Point to Santo Tomas for those less familiar. The whole route is in good condition and all but the last 10 miles are paved. The last 10 miles are a graded dirt road suitable for any type of vehicle. For those traveling on their own (without the optional guide from Rocky Point), we provide directions to our retreat home within our beautiful Santo Tomas Beach community!

Having your own vehicle gives guests the freedom to come and go as they please, stop along the way for shopping or sight-seeing, to stop by Rocky Point on the way back if they please, or to stay longer to enjoy the beach after checking out of the retreat on departure day.

Do I need a passport? Yes. If you are coming from the U.S. or another country. (The border does accept other forms of ID such as a U.S. birth certificate proving that you are a U.S. citizen for those traveling back into the U.S from Mexico, but a passport is best.

You may also want to try looking into the “New” Passport Card for only $45.00. For more info go to www.cbp.gov. (https://www.cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/canada-mexico-travel)
You may also use an enhanced driver’s license called REAL ID if your state participates in the program.

You can also contact the Embassy for additional info.
