The sacred octagonal temple of Casa Arkaana, seen from above in the Mayan jungle

Chemuyil · Mayan Riviera · Mexico

The land
IS the
medicine.

An off-grid jungle sanctuary for transformation, ceremony, and slow, intentional living.

"The right container changes everything."

Whether you're searching for stillness or bringing others into transformation — the space you choose can either amplify your work or drain it.

The land does the work. You bring yourself.

Who comes here

Three ways to arrive. One way to leave.

Every guest, facilitator, and lover who arrives here — leaves changed. That is the promise of the land.

A living system, not a resort

Built with the land,
not against it.

"The land told us where things should go."

Casa Arkaana was designed by two certified permaculture designers — not on paper, but by listening to what the land needed. The pool was built in a natural hollow. The houses face the dominant winds so no AC is ever needed. The food forest was planted where the youngest trees stood, leaving the old forest untouched. Every choice made in reciprocity with the ecosystem.

Earth Care
Restore and tend what the land gives us. Solar power, rainwater, living soil. No generators. No grid.
People Care
Every person who arrives is held with full attention. The structures are always cooler than outside. The jungle sounds regulate the nervous system. The fresh air does the rest.
Fair Share
A percentage of every stay funds reforestation and local community projects. We track it, we report it, we live it.

The land

Casa Arkaana is not a place — it is a state of mind.
An experience of grounding, of silence, of reconnection.

The octagonal temple. The food forest. The cenote path. Seen from above, the geometry of the land becomes clear — this was not designed. It was listened to.

Maja & Asdrubal

We are stewards,
not managers.

"This land chose us. We didn't find it — it called us here." Every morning before the first guest wakes: Asdrubal tends the food forest, Maja opens the yoga shala. Not as preparation — as the practice itself. Ten years of this.

We are not curators of an experience.
We are the experience.
