Yaän Healing Sanctuary
An extraordinary retreat tucked away in the breathtaking expanse of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Yaän Healing Sanctuary is not merely a hotel; it's an enveloping experience. As you enter, the scent of native herbs wafts through the air, welcoming you to a realm where ancient Mayan rituals harmonize with modern wellness practices. The lobby, adorned with handcrafted art that tells the rich stories of Mayan culture, sets the tone for your journey. Here, a tranquil ambiance embraces you, complemented by the gentle sound of water cascading from nearby fountains. Every detail is thoughtful - from the earthy tones of the decor to the plush seating that invites lingering conversations. Taking a step outdoors, you're greeted by an expansive outdoor living area, an oasis designed for both intimate gatherings and leisurely lounging, all under the warm Mexican sun. An infinity pool beckons, offering a sparkling reflection of the azure skies, while rooftop gardens flourish with sacred herbs harvested for your complimentary elixirs and herbal teas.
Explore the Local Area
Yaän is strategically located between the serene Caribbean Sea and the tranquil lagoon, granting easy access to picturesque beaches and vibrant natural parks. Just a short drive from iconic attractions such as Xcaret and Xel-Ha, the area presents exhilarating opportunities for adventure. The artistic hub of Tulum, with its eclectic vibe and artisanal markets, is within easy reach, featuring galleries like Galeria La Llorona and culinary delights at local eateries. Nearby, you'll find Cenote Calavera and Cenote Crystal, both exquisite natural swimming holes for those seeking refreshment and exploration. Yaän Healing Sanctuary is a concise 75 km from Aeropuerto de Playa del Carmen - a seamless transfer that connects you to this enchanting locale.
Room Information
The sanctuary boasts an impressive collection of two exceptionally spacious second-floor suites, each thoughtfully designed to cultivate relaxation and renewal. These suites encompass 1,200 sq ft of refined living space, featuring a king-sized bed, a luxurious indoor copper tub, and a private balcony perfect for savoring the mesmerizing views of nature. Within, opulent amenities abound - from air conditioning to a selection of high-end toiletries that elevate your self-care routine. Shared terraces enhance the experience, offering dramatic vistas and an inviting pool.
Room Upgrades
For an elevated retreat, consider the Oceanfront Suites, offering 1,500 sq ft of indulgent space, complete with private plunge pools and expansive balconies ideal for alfresco dining. Alternatively, the first-floor suites provide direct access to private gardens and plunge pools, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Both categories offer the ultimate luxury, ensuring a personalized experience that embodies comfort and rejuvenation. Each suite accommodates up to two guests, making Yaän the ultimate romantic getaway or solo sanctuary.
“Be Tulum (Adults Only) aims for an exclusive, adults-only vibe on Tulum's attractive beachfront. I noted its focus on Mayan-inspired wellness treatments as a unique draw. While some online feedback highlights service inconsistencies, the commitment to sustainability through carbon-neutral initiatives is a definite plus.”
