Thanksgiving at Xinalani

Thanksgiving naturally invites a pause. A moment to breathe a little deeper, to notice what’s here, and to soften into gratitude: not just for what we have, but for how we’re living.

When Thanksgiving unfolds at Xinalani, gratitude feels woven into everything: the rhythm of the waves, the warmth of the jungle air, the ease of waking up with purpose but without hurry. Here, the holiday becomes something quieter, more intentional, and beautifully simple.

A Celebration of Presence

Gratitude isn’t only a feeling—it’s a practice. One that begins by slowing down enough to notice the small things: the sound of the ocean at dawn, the taste of fresh fruit, the morning air caressing your body after a morning class.

Thanksgiving at Xinalani encourages this kind of mindful presence. The day doesn’t revolve around rushing or performing. Instead, it becomes a chance to reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with the people who’ve chosen to share this moment beside you.

A Table Rooted in Nature

Food is part of every Thanksgiving story, and ours honors the tradition with ingredients that feel nourishing and alive. Expect wholesome, locally inspired dishes, naturally prepared and thoughtfully seasoned.

Yes, you’ll find the classics! A Thanksgiving turkey and pumpkin pie that tastes like warmth and nostalgia, but also the bright, plant-forward cuisine that defines Xinalani. A celebration of flavor, freshness, and the joy of eating well.

Moments That Bring Us Together

Thanksgiving isn’t just about the meal, it’s about the moments surrounding it. At Xinalani, the day includes simple, joyful activities that bring guests together in community and play:

  • A lighthearted “Turkey Trot” run through the village, complete with small prizes and a lot of laughter.
  • A complimentary cooking class, where guests can learn nourishing holiday recipes infused with local flair.

These aren’t obligations, they’re invitations. Little ways to connect, to move, to create memories that feel effortless and fun. Send us a message if you want to join in the fun!

Gratitude as a Way of Being

In the quiet corners of the day—the golden hour before sunset, the shared conversations, the slow exhale during savasana—Thanksgiving at Xinalani becomes more than a date on the calendar. It becomes a reminder that gratitude is a lifestyle, not an event.

A way of seeing the world.
A way of returning to yourself.

Join Us By the Ocean

Thanksgiving coincides with our Black Friday special rates, one of the best times to plan your stay. If you feel called to celebrate by the sea—with good food, warm community, and a deeper sense of presence—this is the moment to reserve your place.

Because some holidays are meant to be lived barefoot, surrounded by jungle, and filled with gratitude that lingers long after you return home.
