See the place for yourself.
A silent tour of the cenote, jungle, gathering spaces and food at Ka’ax.
Freshwater, limestone and a canopy of trees.
The cenote gives your days a natural centre: a place to swim, pause and spend time together.
The property stays constant. Each retreat finds its own rhythm around it.
A place to spend your whole day.
From your cabin to the communal spaces, the property is part of the experience.
The cenote
Float beneath the jungle, swim with someone beside you, or sit by the water and listen. The same cenote can make room for play or quiet.
Sleep in the jungle
Natural textures, king beds and windows onto the jungle. Accommodation is included in signature retreats; eligible day and evening bookings can add a stay when a cabin is available.
The table
Breakfast that lasts, a table for two or a full meal after shared effort. The bar is another place to gather, with fresh drinks and an alcohol policy chosen for each retreat.
Time together
As the jungle gets dark, a fire gives people a reason to stay a little longer. Food, stories or easy company; no one has to take a turn.
Move. Recover. Rest.
Gym and training space, massage, guided ice and temazcal. Each retreat uses these ingredients for a different purpose.
The time between
Take the long way through the jungle. Notice a bird, the light through a branch or a conversation that would not have happened in a hurry.
The jungle chapel
Timber benches, limestone and light through the trees. A quiet corner of the property to discover.
A welcome beneath the palms
The thatched palapa marks your arrival. From here, paths lead into the rest of Ka’ax.
Wake up with the jungle outside.
Bring your people into the jungle.
