Valma’s place is honestly a little piece of rustic Mexican heaven. Valma is such an Inspirational person and her cooking and knowledge is second to non. Valma’s hospitality was impeccable and the retreat itself was so special and unique. ‘CLARANANDA’ the name which I found out means a blissful place where people come to gain clarity! Which is exactly what it delivered. Highly recommend!

“Your place and home is the most wonderful spot on earth. So beautiful and peaceful. Sleeping in a tent on regular beds was fantastic while listening to the wild nature outside. Being served the best breakfast ever by Valma. Going down to beach watching the wales in the sunset. And then looking at all the millions of stars in the sky. Thanks Valma for letting us stay in your home.”

“I want to thank you so much for our time with you Valma and our stay at the Clarananda™ Natural Living & Wellness Retreat. I learned so much more about yoga and meditation, and myself. I felt so nurtured and close to nature in your oasis. Your cooking and the environment that you have created, all combined to create a loving, relaxed environment that helped me to let go and just be. Back to your cooking, can I have your recipes! I was in heaven for every meal. Thank you again and I will be back!

Staying at the Clarananda™ Natural Living & Wellness Retreat was a very unique life time experience: a priceless taste of the nature under your feet, around you, and in your gut! Delicious farm to table organic food was prepared with love, natural environment to sleep in and wake up, and friendship were among the joy we had. Thank you for preparing such a lovely environment!

My experience at the Clarananda™ Natural Living & Wellness Retreat near Todos Santos in Baja California, Mexico was amazing!!!  It was such a treat to travel from cold Toronto, with -20 C and arrive to this beautiful warm sunny place with 27 C. The Clarananda™ is beautiful. Iif you wish to unwind, take time and nurture yourself in nature, this is the place for you. It was wonderful to be so close to the beach, the cactus, the land and all of the nature was interesting and special. I really enjoyed the accommodation. The beds are comfortable and the cabin tents are spacious. What a treat to fall asleep and wake up with the sound of the ocean, the birds and the cow bells. Valma Shakti made us feel at home.  You can see details and love everywhere. And the food..... wow!!!!! Valma, I miss so much your vegan organic muffins and delicious prana rich farm to table organic food. All the food is fresh made with so much love, the quality of the ingredients are local, farm to table and the very best.  Yet above all, the love and joy that Valma puts in to preparing every meal, made us feel so special. Thank you Valma Shakti for receiving me at Clarananda™ and your home! This was my first time and for sure it will come back again

“This was the most unique experience. You can’t wish a better place or host to feel the magic of Baja. Valma has an amazing taste, her property is perfectly maintained, clean and done with a lot of taste, love and care. She is a wonderful cook so we were lucky to enjoy her cooking and baking. Our children loved the adventure and I hope that we can come back soon. Thank you Valma to have created this little heaven. xxxx”
