You’re invited to our new Fat Girl Getaways, a safe space where fat women can relax, connect, learn, rest, and grow. During these 4-5 day retreats in Mexico’s Mayan Riviera, you will stay in a beautiful villa with a private beach, indoor-outdoor living space, private chef, daily room cleaning, and more.
We’ve curated 6 unique Fat Girl Getaways, so there’s something special for everyone, every interest, and activity level. You’ll have opportunities to begin your year with intention at our New Year Self-Love Getaway. Dine with a Master Chef, enjoy a taco tour, and taste some of the world’s best tequila and mezcal during the Comida Mexicana Getaway. Go island-hopping on the Beach Babes Getaway – fun, sun, and sand included. Most of the Fat Girl Getaways have multiple departure dates but limited space.
During the getaways, you’ll have time to focus on self-care, be present, connect with the culture, and have fun! The Fat Girl Getaways are perfect for the traveler who is learning to be present in the limited free time they have. She wants to go on a rejuvenating vacation where all the details are taken care of. She wants supportive plus-size friends and more tools to support her self-acceptance journey.
Your host Annette has meticulously curated these getaways, making sure that every fat-positive detail is tended to. Each getaway was created with the intention of supporting local artists and businesses. Along with your host, you’ll work with a Local Guide and Driver during your day trips. Instead of an all-inclusive resort, you’ll stay in a beautiful locally-owned villa and have meals prepared by a local chef.
While there are multiple departure dates, there are only 6 spots available for each getaway. As with all of our trips, a payment plan is available. Annual Members of The Fat Girls Traveling Network will receive a 10% discount.
