Located in the exclusive residential complex of Playacar, in the heart of the Mayan jungle in Playa del Carmen, our sanctuary offers its guests multiple reconnection activities through our “Gifting lifestyle” where everything has been included. This highlights our 4 gourmet plant-based restaurants—cuisine based on sustainably sourced plants—making us pioneers in this field as the only resort in the Riviera Maya to offer 100% plant-based food.

This healing sanctuary also features 700m of pristine beach on the Mexican Caribbean, four infinity pools, a spa in the jungle, and much more, making Palmaïa a place unique in its class.

Main Attractions

Our Atlantis Spa, nestled deep in the jungle, features five strategically distributed treatment rooms to aid relaxation, a gym, a Temazcal, a natural cenote, as well as meditation spaces. All this is coupled with our personal growth program, Architects of Life, a program based on ancestral rituals and practices that allows us to connect with AïA through personal exploration of the physical body and the subconscious.

We are a space dedicated to the comprehensive healing of the self, which is why one of the most important areas we focus on is creativity. For this, we offer art and natural art classes, allowing us to create what our mind imagines with all kinds of materials in an environment that is visually and auditorily inspiring.

Furthermore, continuing with healing and the importance of sounds, as part of the Rituals of Sound program, our guests can enjoy electronic deep fusion DJs, live acoustic artists, and interactive musical acts that will nourish their hearts with the echo of ancient rhythms reminiscent of the beginnings of humanity, taking us back to the origin.

For us, initiating healing and the reunion with the self is of utmost importance. That is why our Awen space, for children aged 3 to 12, has been created with the understanding that every individual is a spiritual being living a human experience. Our program is based on free play, artistic, and outdoor activities, including crafts.

Best Kept Secret

Our Depth program. Here, the guest will make a visit to the Mayan community of Nuevo Durango, thus complementing their Progressive Wellness program, where they will share with the community members and at the same time learn about the source of the products that will arrive at their table through the impressive creations of our talented chefs.
