Personal retreats start at $220 USD per night for a solo guest, with a three-night minimum; the couple rate and full inclusions are on our pricing page. Hosted group and corporate retreats are priced around the whole property and your dates rather than from a fixed list, so after a quick call we send a clear estimate. See pricing.

Bookings follow a simple schedule: 25% to reserve your dates, another 25% at the midpoint before your retreat, and the final 50% two weeks before you arrive.

The 25% deposit is non-refundable, except in cases of force majeure. The second 25% payment is refundable if you cancel at least 120 days before your retreat; closer in, it is retained. The full 25/25/50 schedule and the exceptions are set out in the full cancellation policy.

As early as you can. Popular dates fill up, especially in high season, so the sooner you reach out, the more flexibility you'll have.

For hosted retreats, there's no fixed minimum, though the four Sacred Gifts are included on retreats of three nights or more. Personal retreats have a three-night minimum.

It depends on the kind of retreat. Hosting a group includes the full property, accommodation, meals, our on-site team, and the Sacred Gifts on stays of three nights or more.

Yes. Starlink gives us reliable internet across the whole property, so you can stay connected if you need to, or switch it all off, which the jungle makes easy.

Lunita has reliable Starlink wifi across the whole property, so you can stay connected whenever you need to; mobile phone signal is patchier this deep in the jungle. Most guests end up switching off, and the setting makes a real digital detox easy if that is what you came for.

Two dogs, Sol and Luna, live at Lunita — they walked out of the jungle the week of our first retreat and never left. We do not have a set policy for guests bringing their own animals, so if you would like to travel with a pet, get in touch and we will talk honestly through what is possible. Contact us.

Never. Nothing at Lunita is required. You choose what's part of your retreat, and a retreat with no ceremonies at all is completely welcome.

Of course. Many people do. Cacao, temazcal, sound healing, yoga, breathwork, and much more are all available with no plant medicine involved at all.

Every plant-medicine ceremony begins with an intake call to go through your health and history, followed by preparation, experienced facilitators holding the ceremony itself, and integration afterward. Some health conditions and medications mean we won't hold a ceremony, and we'll always tell you honestly. How we hold this work.

Facilitators with real lineage and training. The plant medicines are held by Edgar, a Zapotec medicine man local to Puerto Morelos who carries several Indigenous Mexican lineages. Meet the facilitators.

Plant-medicine ceremonies are for adults, and participation depends on the intake. Certain health conditions and medications are contraindicated. If a ceremony isn't right or isn't safe for you, we'll say so. That honesty is part of how we work.

Yes. We arrange transfers from Cancún International Airport for both group and personal retreats. We'll coordinate the details with you once your dates are set.

Most travelers from the US, Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia do not need a visa for a tourist stay in Mexico, but everyone still completes a tourist entry permit (the FMM / entry record) on arrival, and requirements depend on your nationality and can change. Always confirm your own case with Mexico's official immigration authority (INM).
