OUR CENTER
Where the jungle is
Lunita Jungle Retreat Center · Ruta de los Cenotes Km 17 · 77584 Puerto Morelos · Quintana Roo · Mexico, forty minutes from Cancún International Airport, on the road named for the underground rivers it crosses. Close enough that arrival is easy; far enough that the only nightlife is the jungle's.
Getting here
IN SHORT
Fly into Cancún International (CUN), the best-connected airport in the region, with direct flights from most of North America and major European hubs. From the airport, Lunita is about forty minutes by road. Airport transfer isn't included, but we arrange it for you with trusted local drivers: you land, a driver holds your name, and the next decision you make is at the property.
Tell us your flight when your retreat is confirmed and the transfer is handled, both directions. Driving yourself is possible (the route is simple: highway south, then inland up the Ruta de los Cenotes), but for a first arrival in a new country with a retreat ahead of you, the arranged transfer is the move.
Puerto Morelos
Between Cancún and Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos is the Riviera Maya's quiet act: a fishing town that kept its scale while its neighbors grew, a working pier, a leaning lighthouse, sand streets near the water, and the Mesoamerican Reef offshore, the second-largest barrier reef on Earth, close enough that snorkeling it is a morning, not an expedition.
Lunita sits inland from town, up the cenote road, in the jungle belt, town when you want it, none of it audible from your hammock.
What's within reach
The property is built so you don't need to leave, and the region rewards you if you do. Excursions we arrange or point guests toward:
- A private cenote, ten minutes from Lunita, the closest swim in the underground river
- Puerto Morelos beach and the reef: swimming, snorkeling, the town
- The islands: Isla Mujeres, Holbox, Cozumel
- The Maya cities: Chichén Itzá, Ek' Balam, Cobá
- South down the coast: Tulum, Akumal's turtle sanctuary, Caleta Tankah
- And the tacos tour, which guests mention in reviews more than we expected
