The container
"Part of the healing comes through feeling the fresh air — the jungle air."

Casa Arkaana is not a hotel. It is a living sanctuary — off the grid, powered entirely by the sun, nourished by its own well. There is no air conditioning. The windows stay open. The jungle comes in.


At night you hear the crickets, the bats, the howler monkeys. In the morning, birdsong before any alarm. The space itself begins to regulate your nervous system before the first session starts.


Maja and Asdrubal built this place to serve exactly one purpose: to hold people in deep transformation. Every space, every meal, every detail was designed with that intention.

Casa Arkaana — Mayan Jungle
Chemuyil · Riviera Maya · Mexico

Six days in the jungle.
Everything you need.

The Maloka
Ceremony · Movement · Sharing
The Maloka
An octagonal temple of natural materials, open to the jungle. The heart of every retreat.
Cenote Pool
Sacred Waters
Cenote Pool
Fed by the cenotes beneath the land. Waters the Mayan people have considered sacred for millennia.
Flower Bath
Ritual · Blessing
Flower Bath
A sacred cleansing ritual — petals, prayer, and presence. One of the most beloved experiences at Casa Arkaana.
Sound Healing
Vibration · Integration
Sound Healing
Singing bowls, ceremonial instruments, and the sounds of the jungle. Deep rest for the nervous system.
Farm-to-Table Food
Nourishment
Living Farm-acy
Every meal comes from the land or from local producers. Plant-forward, alive, and prepared with care.
The Jungle
The Container
The Jungle
Old-growth Mayan jungle, untouched. The land itself is part of the healing — ancient, alive, generous.
Maja and Asdrubal
You are safe here

This is someone's home.
And you are welcome in it.

Maja & Asdrubal live here
This is not a managed property. The founders are present on the land every day. You are in the care of people who have given their lives to this work.
Safe for solo travelers
Many guests come alone. The atmosphere at Casa Arkaana is that of a family home — warm, grounded, and deeply intentional about who is in the space.
Intimate group sizes
No more than 20 participants per retreat. You will know everyone by name within the first day. The small container creates depth.
Experienced, conscious hosting
Maja and Asdrubal have hosted hundreds of participants. They know when someone needs support — and how to provide it quietly, without disrupting the group.

Amanda Torres
"I came for a week off — I left with a completely new perspective"
Amanda Torres · Breathwork Retreat · Denver CO
1:32
I honestly just wanted to disconnect for a week. No phone, no emails, just breathe. But what happened at Casa Arkaana was so much deeper than that. The jungle at night, the sounds, the ceremony in the temple — I had this moment on day three where I just started crying and I couldn't stop. And that was okay. Everyone held space for me. I went home and quit a job I'd been unhappy in for years. Best decision of my life.
Marcus Jørgensen
"The place has something you can't put on a website"
Marcus Jørgensen · Plant Medicine · Copenhagen
1:58
I've been to ceremonies in Peru, in the Netherlands, in Portugal. This was different. The temple at Casa Arkaana has this presence — you walk in and your body just knows this is the right place. The sacred tree, the pool reflecting the stars at night, the howler monkeys in the morning. It's not a backdrop — it's part of the process. And the food — Maya's kitchen — I've never eaten that well during a retreat. It felt like someone was nourishing you back to life.
Lisa Chen
"I felt safe enough to actually let go"
Lisa Chen · Yoga & Meditation · San Francisco
1:15
As a solo female traveler, safety was my number one concern. I almost didn't come — you know, Mexico, jungle, ceremony with strangers. But from the moment I arrived, I felt completely held. The space is gated, the staff lives on site, and there's this family energy you feel immediately. Maya checked on me personally every morning. I could finally stop scanning for danger and just be present. That's when the real work started.
