Everything at Lunita
Lunita is more than a place to stay. It's a place to do the work you came for. More than fifty experiences, ceremonies, workshops, and excursions can be woven into your retreat, each one shaped to your group's intention.
Nothing here is a fixed package. You and your retreat leader build the days from what speaks to you: a sound healing one morning, a temazcal one evening, a cenote swim, a cooking class, a ceremony at the heart of it all.
The four Sacred Gifts are included with every retreat of three nights or more. Everything else is à la carte.
A note on timings: durations below are typical ranges, offered to help you plan. The exact shape of each is set with your facilitator.

Seven ceremonies have a place at Lunita, each held by a facilitator with real lineage, within the structure of a retreat, never as a standalone product. Each has its own page with the tradition, the facilitator, and what to expect. Every ceremony is held with the full process: intake, preparation, ceremony, integration. Read how we hold this work →

A private cenote ten minutes from Lunita, swum in an intimate, undisturbed setting. Crystal water, jungle silence, one of the Maya's sacred portals. Reflection, meditation, or simple rest. The full story →

Snorkel the world's second-largest barrier reef, minutes offshore, then a cenote that opens toward the sea. Coral, tropical fish, maybe a turtle or a ray. Sea and underworld in one trip. The full story →

Two worlds: the reef offshore and a freshwater cenote cave inland. Guided by local experts through coral, limestone, and shafts of light. Thrilling and otherworldly. The full story →

A hidden cove where cenote freshwater meets the sea, fed by the Yucatán's underground rivers. Swim where fresh and salt water merge. Restorative and elemental.

"Place of the Turtles", a calm, reef-protected bay where sea turtles glide alongside snorkelers. Soft sand, easy water, abundant life. Gentle and wild at once.

A tranquil seaside town between Cancún and Playa del Carmen: soft sand, calm turquoise water, reef snorkeling, artisan shops, a slower Caribbean pace. Authentic and unhurried.
CategoryIslands

A car-free island of sandbars and lagoons off the northern Yucatán, moving at the pace of bicycles and golf carts. Whale sharks in season, bioluminescence at night. Simplicity and natural wonder.

Famous for some of the world's best reef diving and snorkeling, in crystal-clear Caribbean water. Once a Maya pilgrimage site, it pairs marine life with temple ruins and quiet shores. An underwater paradise with deep roots.
CategoryMaya Ruins

The most celebrated Maya site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a New Seven Wonder. El Castillo's equinox alignment, the Great Ball Court, the Temple of the Warriors. Grand and humbling.

A quieter, less-visited site in the northern jungle, crowned by a vast Acropolis with a famous jaguar-mouth doorway. Climbable, contemplative, surrounded by forest. Maya artistry without the crowds.

Hidden deep in the jungle among lagoons, home to Nohoch Mul, one of the tallest pyramids in the Yucatán. Ancient white stone roads link the ruins; birdsong fills the canopy. Adventurous and serene.

Maya ruins perched on a cliff above the turquoise Caribbean, the only ones set against the sea. Temples, watchtowers, and a beach to descend to afterward. History and coast in one.
CategoryCulinary

A guided journey through authentic Mexican street food, beyond the restaurants and into the real flavors. Al pastor, fish tacos, esquites, tamales, and churros to finish. Food as connection and joy.
From the first idea to the closing circle, our team helps shape the flow of your retreat (ceremonies, workshops, meals, excursions) so the whole thing feels balanced and aligned with your intention. The logistics are ours to carry. What matters most, sharing your gifts with your people, stays yours.
If the experience, workshop, or ceremony you have in mind isn't on this page, tell us. Through Lunita's extended family of facilitators, healers, and local experts across the Riviera Maya, we can usually find it, or co-create it with you. Every retreat here is shaped by the group it's for.
With love,
Lorenza, Nico & the Lunita family
