Healing Bodywork
At Maya Tulum Retreat & Spa, we honor the ancient Mayan culture that draws us to this magic place on the Yucatan Peninsula. Healing was an important part of the Mayan culture and that tradition lives on today in many of our therapeutic treatments rooted in ancient inspiration.
From facials, wraps, and bodywork to specialty Mayan treatments, we offer spectacular spa services to fit every guest’s needs.
Hot Stone Therapy
Warm, oiled stones are expertly applied to align and harmonize the chakras (energy centers) of the body.
The heat from the stones works in conjunction with traditional massage strokes and helps the essential oils (carefully selected to correspond with each chakra) penetrate deep into the body and induce a profound state of relaxation and well-being.
The heat from the stones requires less pressure from the masseuse, so a meditative state is often reached early in the session.
Temazcal Ceremony
Maya Tulum Resort offers an on-site Temazcal (Sweat Lodge), where local healers perform body & soul-cleansing Indigenous ceremonies. This universal ritual benefits the body and the soul, balancing your mind and emotions for inner peace and harmony.
This traditional temazcal (teh-mahz-cal) ceremony was designed to promote physical, emotional and spiritual well-being through a purging of physical and emotional toxins. You will be within the actual temazcal (clay steam dome) for about 70 minutes.
A spiritual guide will help you to open your heart to ancestral visions, while releasing stress and detoxifying the body through series of four guided meditations accompanied by chanting and ancient music.
During this time, a tea made by soaking fresh herbs is splashed over heated volcanic rocks to produce powerful, fragrant steam.
As your body begins to relax and detoxify, you will begin to experience a connection with Mother Earth through a series of four guided meditations accompanied by chanting and ancient music, each oriented to a different cardinal point.
At the end of each guided meditation, the door of the temazcal is opened to welcome in the energy of the next cardinal point.
Yoga at Maya Tulum
Itzamna is a smaller hall named for the Mayan god of medicine and creativity. Ixchel is a larger hall named for the Mayan jaguar goddess of healing and nurturing.
Nature informs and enriches everything at Maya Tulum – particularly the practice of yoga. Take a deep breath and imagine the sound of ocean waves and rustling palm fronds.
At Maya Tulum, our expert resident yoga instructors lead all-levels classes in a variety of styles in spiritually sensitive, nature-centric spaces.
Oceanfront Meditation Labyrinth
Maya Tulum Retreat & Spa offers an oceanfront Meditation Labyrinth for quiet moments of reflection.
A labyrinth is a walking meditation, a tool that enables us in the midst of the stress of modern life to let go of our challenges and to allow the deeper peace and wisdom within us to emerge.
Unlike a maze, a labyrinth has only one path which leads into the center and back out again. Labyrinths are for quieting the mind while looking inward for clarity, renewal, peace and balance.
In a maze, you can get lost; in a labyrinth you can find yourself. Labyrinths can be walked by individuals or groups for the purposes of contemplation, insight, healing, creative inspiration, meditation or ceremony.
Host A Retreat
Maya Tulum Retreat & Spa has developed a reputation of being able to create exceptional events regardless of size. Our reputation has been created by our focus on service, attention to detail, wonderful food offerings, and the ability to offer very diverse style retreats.
