COSMIC AWAKENINGS

A private three-bedroom villa with a pool and its own cenote, deep in the jungle of Muyil, Mexico.

The house in the jungle

Ka'an Lemuria sits among the trees of Muyil, on the edge of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere and about 25 minutes south of the white sand beaches of Tulum.

Rooms are finished in hand-troweled plaster with carved arches and niches. Glass walls open the living room to the pool and the forest. The whole house is yours: no other guests, no shared spaces.

A cenote of your own

Steps from the house, the ground opens onto clear, cool water inside a ring of limestone. Swim at sunrise, float under the roots at noon, come back by starlight.

Tours and excursions

Muyil is the doorway to Sian Ka'an, ancient Maya canals and some of the quietest beaches on the coast. Choose your tours from the menu when you book.

We suggest one tour a day, and slow afternoons at the house in between.

Sian Ka'an river tour

Cross the Muyil lagoons by boat, then float down a canal the Maya cut through the mangroves, carried along by the current.
Cenotes

Swim in the open-air and cave cenotes of the region, each with its own color, depth and light.
Muyil ruins

Walk among temples of one of the oldest Maya settlements on this coast, rising out of the jungle at the edge of Sian Ka'an, a few minutes from the house.
Monkey adventure

Head into the forest with a guide to watch spider monkeys moving through the canopy.
Sian Ka'an Biosphere and beach

A UNESCO World Heritage reserve of wetlands, jungle and long, empty white sand beaches on the Caribbean.
