A Traditional Mayan Jungle Home

Tucked into the lush jungle near the ancient ruins of Ek Balam, this house is a gateway to another time, a place where simplicity, nature, and tradition come together in harmony. Built from stone, wood, and palm, it reflects the wisdom of Mayan architecture, creating a serene and peaceful refuge beneath the trees.

While deeply connected to nature, the home also offers modern comforts, including air conditioning, internet, warm water, and a smart TV, ensuring that your stay is both authentic and comfortable.

 

Handcrafted, Earthy, and Immersed in Nature

 

This is not a hotel. It is a home, designed with care, built with natural materials, and surrounded by the beauty of the Yucatán jungle. The curved walls, hand-carved wooden details, and thatched palapa roof speak to ancient traditions, while the open-air kitchen and cozy gathering spaces invite you to slow down and reconnect.

Large windows and open spaces allow the sounds of the jungle to flow through: birds singing at sunrise, the rustling of leaves in the evening breeze and more. The house is sophisticated and simple at the same time, a welcoming refuge for those seeking an authentic experience, close to the land and to Mayan culture.

A Place in the Heart of Nature

Whether you are visiting for a Sacred Mayan Wedding Ceremony, a Temazcal Purification, or an exploration of the ancient ruins, this house offers a peaceful place to be and to return to at the end of the day.

  • A cozy bedroom with a traditional thatched roof, wooden details, and air conditioning for restful sleep in harmony with nature.

  • An open-air kitchen and dining area, fully equipped for preparing meals, where you can enjoy fresh air and jungle views.
