A co-ed medical wellness retreat for singles
You’re not looking for a match. You’re looking for a life. But if a genuine connection happens while you’re getting a CT scan decoded by a physician, hiking to a waterfall, or sitting in a Temazcal ceremony under the Chiapas sky, we’d call that a pretty extraordinary bonus.
Precision diagnostics · Adventure · Real connectionThe Altavita Meet Cute Retreat brings together a small, curated group of single adults, most 35 and older, for seven days of precision medical diagnostics, cultural immersion, adventure travel, and the kind of real conversation that only happens when you’re far from your usual life. It’s open to any single adult ready to invest in themselves.
No apps. No awkward speed dating. Just shared experiences, full health data, and 12 people who chose to invest in themselves, together.

Frequently asked
Who are the retreats for?
Adults ready to move from reactive to proactive care. Most guests are 35 and older, though every retreat is open to any adult who wants a clear, data-informed picture of their health. Altavita runs four formats: men's, women's, couples, and singles.
Is this retreat just for people looking for a romantic relationship?
Not at all. This is a wellness and medical travel retreat first. The co-ed format and intentional social programming create conditions where connection, romantic or otherwise, is possible.
Do I need to be unwell to attend?
No. The focus is preventative. Guests come to understand their baseline, get ahead of family health history, and build a plan while they feel well.
What medical testing is included?
Our medical team tailors your diagnostics after reviewing your personal and family health history. Testing can include blood panels, a cardiac stress test, CT scan, bone density scan, gut microbiome analysis, vein evaluation, and other age and gender appropriate screens. Every result is translated, delivered, and explained in English in a private one-to-one session.
How are my results handled?
Confidentially and with care. Your lab data is encrypted and reviewed only by the clinicians assigned to your case. You receive a whole mind and body interpretation, a personalized 12-month wellness plan, and follow-up support.
Is medical travel in Mexico safe?
Yes. Altavita partners only with accredited clinics and qualified specialists who follow international standards, and manages all ground transport, transfers, and logistics. Chiapas is one of Mexico's most visited regions, home to UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Why are the groups so small, and is there an application?
Every retreat is capped and intentional. A short consultation lets us confirm fit, protect your privacy, and give our medical team meaningful one-to-one time for your assessments and follow-up care. Smaller groups simply allow deeper, more personal work.
What is included?
Medical testing and results translation, all accommodation, ground transport, curated excursions, spa and wellness sessions, gourmet meals, a personalized 12-month wellness plan, quarterly follow-up sessions, and ongoing access to our specialist network. Flights are not included.
What does it cost?
We share current investment details on a complimentary consultation call, so we can walk you through exactly what your experience includes.
Is Altavita LGBTQ+ friendly?
Yes. We welcome people from all walks of life, faith, love, and lived experience.
