The spaces, by
what they're for

Sleeping

The eight cabanas. No two identical. Each sits in its own pocket of jungle with its own light. Each has a queen bed and a twin, a private bathroom with hot water, a writing desk, a terrace with its own hammock, and a small garden of its own. Ceiling fans and tree shade do the cooling, and do it well. You'll hear the jungle at night; you won't hear another cabana.

The mini apartment. A second-floor space with four beds and a private bathroom, the natural fit for a family, a group of friends sharing, or a retreat leader who wants a base apart from the group.

Twenty guests is the property's total, a ceiling, not a target. Smaller groups simply breathe wider.

Practice & Ceremony Spaces

The Crystal Shala. The daily heart of most retreats: an octagonal pavilion of glass beside the pool, open on all sides for a breezy morning practice, closeable to hold a ceremony or a long meditation. A fire pit waits just outside for the evenings.

The meditation pavilion. Open-air, in the trees, watched over by the Grandfather tree, the oldest living thing on the property and the one everything else was built around. Group meditations and private ceremonies happen here; the jungle starts two steps away.

The temazcal. The domed lodge (wooden frame, blanket-covered, heated with volcanic stones) where the temazcal ceremony is held by a Mexican temazcalero. The ceremony itself, honestly documented: Temazcal.

Water & Recovery

The pool. Filled straight from the cenote running beneath the property: no chlorine, no tank, just the underground river surfacing. By day it cools the afternoons; sound healers play at its edge for sound baths in the water; and at night, with zero light pollution, the surface mirrors the sky.

The ice bath. A wooden cold-plunge tub, the contrast work many retreats build in after the temazcal's heat, and a space few venues in this region have at all.

Eating & Gathering

The dining pavilion. Roofed for the rain, open on every side for the jungle: long tables where the whole retreat eats together, birds at breakfast, crickets at dinner. It's the space guests linger in longest. The kitchen behind it designs every menu around the group, fully flexible, allergies handled without fuss. How the kitchen works →

For Leaders

The practical frame: twenty guests across eight cabanas and the apartment; one large glass practice space plus an open-air pavilion, so two sessions can run at once; ceremony infrastructure (temazcal, fire pit, pool-as-sound-bath) on site; and a team that runs it all while you lead. Capacities, layouts, and your specific configuration are exactly what the first call is for, and what the post-call estimate documents: How we support you · Host a retreat.
