A regime they hope to continue in their lives back home. \u003cbr/\u003eCoconuts and wooden sticks are the basic tools in this exotic gym by the sea. \u003cbr/\u003eParticipants experience Pilates, Zumba, Yoga and Circuit Training, and decide at the end what suits them best. Each of these women will spend an average of $4,000 (USD) in this week-long camp. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We are so busy in our day to day life with family, work, children, whatever it is, that everybody was looking for a place to come where there is no judgement, there is no work pressure, there is no family pressure, cause a lot of us came here by ourselves,\" says Christina Lawson, a businesswoman, who came from Las Vegas to destress.\u003cbr/\u003eIn Tulum, located 100 miles south of Cancun, there is also room for relaxation; reading a book under a palm tree, or indulging in the most exclusive wellness treatments. Healing massages are the most requested by female guests. \u003cbr/\u003eLocal masseuses, experts in Mayan-inspired healing techniques, offer a complete range of treatments, from hot stones to a massage that uses the natural clay of Tulum.\u003cbr/\u003eTania Ocampo, who works for the Maya Tulum resort, says the goal is to make guests forget about the world outside, starting by pulling the plug on their internet addiction. \u003cbr/\u003e\"We try to do a digital detox as much as possible for them to really be able to ground themselves and eliminate all of that cluster that they have in their minds. Their everyday life tend to be a little bit hectic, so when they come here we are saving this place for them,\" she says.\u003cbr/\u003eUp to 70 per cent of Maya Tulum's guests are women, with most of them travelling in small female groups, without family or friends. \u003cbr/\u003e\"Most of them are already very successful at what they do back home, and they still have realised that behind all of that success there is still something that is missing, and when they come here they are trying to explore what is that they are missing, and they find the essence of life,\" says Ocampo. \u003cbr/\u003eThe target demographic for Tulum's high end resorts are lone women in their thirties to fifties.\u003cbr/\u003eYoga is the life-blood of this Caribbean haven but what differentiates it from other expensive retreats is the Mayan history, the wildlife and the ocean.\u003cbr/\u003e\"When you come to Tulum you are really looking for the special connection, the special relaxation, the special getaway. As yoga - when you practice yoga you find a getaway to find something that you are looking for, and as we know everything is inside, so you come here to relax, to center, and during this moment you are able to practice yoga in this beautiful place in front of the ocean,\" says Alessandra Montana, a seasoned yoga instructor based in Tulum.\u003cbr/\u003eSimplicity and complete anonymity are two of Tulum's most valued inputs. That's how many women engage in deeper healing activities such as temazcal, inspired by a Mayan rebirth ceremony celebrated at night on the white sands at Uno Astrolodge resort. \u003cbr/\u003eCelebrities such Demi Moore and Sting have experienced this ceremony of fire and sweat, aimed at purifying body and soul for a total mind reset. \u003cbr/\u003eThe stresses of city life feel a long way off by the fireside, helped by the calming sound of waves lapping against the beach.\u003cbr/\u003eTulum, Mexico - 14 May, 2014\u003cbr/\u003e1.
