The Iboga Retreat Center · Mayan Riviera near Cancun

The Iboga Retreat Center on the Mayan Riviera near Cancun, Mexico, a true oasis

Seven private nests, a cenote-fed pool, a fire circle and a dining palapa, hidden in the jungle twenty minutes from Cancún airport. The ceremonies, the medical station and your bed are all in the same garden.

The fire circle at night: a wood fire in the stone pit, Adirondack chairs around it, candles along the sandy path under the jungle trees

Common spaces

Where the days happen

Mornings by the pool, meals at the long wooden table under the palapa, quiet hours in the garden between the trees. Everything is a short barefoot walk from your room.

After dark

Where the nights happen

Each ceremony opens at the fire circle with the fire talk, where you say aloud what you came for. Then the group walks to the ceremony palapa, lies down on mats around the candlelit altar, and the nganga holds the space until morning, with a physician in the room all night.

The rooms

Seven nests in the jungle

Every room has its own mural, its own bathroom and a kitchenette. You sleep alone or with the person who came with you, never in a dormitory.

Room 01 · The love nest

Nido de Amor

A king bed under a hand-painted jaguar mural, an in-room jacuzzi, a private kitchenette and a mosaic bathroom. Your own door onto the garden, with two chairs for the morning coffee.
