The voice of the land

“Families arrive as a knot of schedules and phones. The jungle is patient. By the second morning, someone is barefoot.”

— Lunita

A retreat for the whole family.

Multi-generation time that isn't a resort buffet and a kids' club: a family retreat at Lunita is custom-designed around your actual family: your ages, your energies, your reason for gathering, across eight jungle cabanas, a pool, and 80,000 m² that do half the entertaining themselves.

Why a family retreat?

IN SHORT

Because family vacations scatter, everyone to their own screen, schedule, and corner of the resort, and a family retreat is designed to gather: shared meals at one table, a daily rhythm built for your generations, real sessions for the adults who need them, and a jungle that out-competes a phone better than any rule does. Families come to mark something: a reunion, a milestone, a recovery, a long-postponed pause, and leave having actually been in the same place.

What a family retreat looks like here

Designed in a call around who's coming: ages, mobility, appetites, the introverts and the engines. The property does a lot of the work: the pool, the jungle paths, the open-air dining pavilion where one long table fits everyone, hammocks for the teenagers who claim to hate it here (day one only).

The honest frame on ceremonies: the seven ceremonies are adult work, with the same screening every guest receives. A family retreat holds them for the adults while the days hold everyone. Ceremonies.

What every family retreat includes

Everything practical is held for you, so you can be fully with each other:

  • Cabanas arranged for your crew: eight cabanas and a mini apartment across the property, grouped to your family's geometry; larger gatherings can take the whole place, which becomes its own kind of magic, ask us
  • Meals every generation eats: the kitchen designs around the seven-year-old, the vegan cousin, and the grandmother's preferences at the same table, allergies handled without fuss
  • Sessions for the adults: facilitator work on request (a temazcal for the grown-ups, a women's circle, a quiet one-on-one) scheduled while the rest of the family swims
  • Access to the pool and the open-air meditation areas
  • Cancún airport transfer, both ways
  • The Tree Planting, together: the one ceremony built for every age: hands in the soil, one tree for the family, led by Nico, fifteen unforgettable minutes → The Tree Planting

The shape of a stay

Three nights minimum. Length, budget, and rhythm follow your family, not the other way around.

What it costs

Food and accommodation are 360 USD per night for two sharing a room. For larger families and groups, ask for prices, since it depends on the rooms and the ages. That covers private accommodation and three meals a day every generation will eat. The sessions, the ceremonies for the adults, the rhythm of the days, is designed with you in the call, so the rest follows what your family wants to add.

What families say

“I just had the most amazing experience at the retreat with a beautiful group of women. The grounds were beautiful, the space was beautiful. Lorenza was a beautiful host. She took care of us. I look forward to coming back.”

How it starts

It starts with one call with whoever is organizing (every family has the one). Then a proposal shaped to your dates, your headcount, your generations. The model and investment live on the parent page: Personal retreats.

Questions

Is Lunita suitable for children?
The property is a jungle, honestly held: pool, paths, open spaces, a team that's hosted families, and nature rather than a kids' club as the entertainment. Tell us the ages on the call and we'll design the days (and the supervision rhythm) around them.
Can we take the whole property?
For larger families and reunions, yes. The full-property model exists and turns the place entirely yours. It books like hosting; ask on the call and we'll show you both shapes.
What do the adults do while kids play?
That's the design: facilitator sessions, temazcal, massage-style bodywork, or nothing at all, scheduled into windows the rest of the family spends in the pool or the jungle. The retreat works in shifts so nobody has to choose between their work and their family.
What's the best length for a family retreat?
Four to six nights. Families need a day longer than couples to land, and the last day always goes too fast. Timing and buffer-day doctrine: How to plan a retreat.
How much does a family retreat in Mexico cost?
Food and accommodation are 360 USD per night for two sharing a room, three meals included. For larger families and groups, ask for prices, since it depends on the rooms and the ages. The sessions, the ceremonies for the adults, and the rhythm of the days are designed with you on the call. (More in What it costs, above.)
What ages can come on a family retreat?
Every age. Families come with toddlers, teenagers, parents, and grandparents, and the days are designed around all of them: the kitchen cooks for the seven-year-old and the grandmother at the same table, the property keeps the kids busy with the pool and the jungle, and the adults get real sessions in the windows. Tell us the ages on the call and we build the rhythm and the supervision around them.
What do families actually do on a retreat?
Designed around who is coming. The property does a lot, the pool, the jungle paths, the long dining table, hammocks for the teenagers. The adults get facilitator sessions, a temazcal, bodywork, or nothing, scheduled into windows the rest of the family spends in the pool or the jungle, and the Tree Planting closes it, one tree, the whole family's hands. The retreat works in shifts so nobody has to choose between their work and their family.
Can grandparents and teenagers come too?
Yes, and the multi-generation mix is often the point. The cabanas are grouped to your family's geometry, the meals are designed for every generation and every plate, and the rhythm holds the toddler, the teenager who claims to hate it (day one only), and the grandparent equally. For larger gatherings you can take the whole property.

If your reason has a name

Some arrivals carry a specific weight. These retreats are built for them: same place, same care, sharper focus.

Burnout

A private retreat for the genuinely exhausted: designed with Nico, personalized from twenty-plus facilitators: temazcal, deep rest, yoga, a cenote, and nothing you have to perform. 3 nights minimum, 5 to 6 suggested.

Grief

A private retreat for loss in the widest sense: a person, a relationship, a pregnancy, a version of your life. Esperanza’s grief support, temazcal, cacao, and days that don’t ask you to perform being okay.

Spiritual Awakening

A private retreat for the experience that came uninvited, held by people whose traditions have names, maps, and elders for it. Integration sessions, temazcal, and ceremony at the center, when you’re ready.

Life Transitions

A private retreat for the space between chapters: divorce, career’s end, empty nest, the move, the after. Close the old chapter with a shamanic cleansing; root the new one with a tree.
