Cenote Kaax Jungle Retreat & Hotel

Hidden between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Cenote Ka’ax is a sanctuary of rare beauty and serenity — one of the Riviera Maya’s most exceptional titled estates. Set amid eight hectares of pristine Mayan jungle, this private retreat harmoniously merges nature, design, and sustainability to create an experience that transcends conventional living. More than a property, it is a destination — a world where time slows, nature breathes, and every element has been thoughtfully crafted to inspire awe.

The Heart of the Estate – A Living Cenote

At its center lies a breathtaking freshwater cenote, its crystalline turquoise waters glimmering beneath a canopy of ancient trees. Maintaining a year-round temperature between 24–26°C, it offers the perfect sanctuary for swimming, meditation, or quiet reflection. Three handcrafted wooden decks embrace this natural wonder: one at water level for effortless access, another elevated with a fire pit for evening gatherings, and a third designed for lounging with panoramic jungle views. Together, they form a sensory experience — where elemental nature meets refined architecture.

Refined Comfort & Resort-Level Infrastructure

Cenote Ka’ax is fully developed and ready to operate as a luxury eco-retreat, private estate, or hospitality investment. Seven private jungle cabins are discreetly positioned among the trees, each crafted for privacy and comfort. The property features a restaurant and bar with a professional kitchen, a souvenir and boutique space, and a swimming pool surrounded by lush open gardens.
A consecrated jungle chapel offers a spiritual setting for intimate weddings and ceremonies, while the spa and temazcal invite wellness seekers to reconnect with nature. An indoor–outdoor gym accommodates both open-air yoga and air-conditioned fitness programs. Additional amenities include a caretaker’s home, walking trails, grill areas, and beautifully landscaped gardens — all interconnected in a seamless, immersive environment.

Flexible Acquisition Options

This rare estate can be acquired in two distinct configurations:

• Developed 2-hectare parcel: including the cenote, all existing structures, and full operational infrastructure — offered at $3.2 million USD.
• Full 8-hectare estate: encompassing the cenote, developed area, and additional jungle acreage ideal for expansion or conservation — offered at $4 million USD.

Both options deliver immediate functionality with exceptional long-term potential for private ownership or boutique hospitality investment.

Sustainability Meets Modern Comfort

The estate is powered by CFE electricity, complemented by solar energy and a private well for water supply. Wi-Fi extends throughout the developed area, and a gated entrance ensures privacy and controlled access. This thoughtful balance between modern infrastructure and environmental harmony ensures year-round comfort while preserving the integrity of the surrounding ecosystem.

An Investment in Experience & Legacy

Beyond its architectural and natural beauty, Cenote Ka’ax offers a compelling business opportunity. Its existing infrastructure supports daily public access, private events, weddings, retreats, and wellness programs — all within an authentic ecological setting that resonates with the growing global demand for sustainable luxury. Strategically positioned between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, the estate enjoys both seclusion and accessibility, attracting a high-value audience seeking exclusivity and meaning in their travel experiences.

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Offering

Few titled properties in the Riviera Maya combine a private cenote, operational facilities, and room for expansion within such a pristine natural environment. With its consecrated chapel, spa, and seven elegant cabins, Cenote Ka’ax embodies the essence of understated luxury — a place where nature, spirituality, and design exist in perfect equilibrium.
For those who seek more than ownership — for those who wish to preserve beauty, create legacy, and live in harmony with the land — Cenote Ka’ax stands alone.
