Shambalanté is truly a hidden jewel in the heart of the Yucatecan jungle—a sanctuary for the soul. From the moment you arrive, time seems to slow down, replaced by a deep sense of peace, quiet, and connection with nature. Everything about this place invites you to breathe more deeply, to let go, and to reconnect with yourself and with the nature around you. The surroundings are simply magical, and the atmosphere feels both grounding and gently transformative. And the food… absolutely wonderful. Thoughtfully prepared, nourishing, and full of flavor, it complements the entire experience beautifully. If I had known just how special Shambalanté is, I would have stayed a full week instead of just three days. Thank you to Doris, Ricardo, and the rest of the team. I will definitely be back.

Shambalanté staff is extraordinary and wonderful. They kept track of our arrival since the airport until we got there. They explained everything, they offered us natural lemonade, pecans and natural made cookies. The place is absolutely wonderful. Breakfast is supreme.

We initially came for the beauty and the quiet. We came back (although we had different plans!) for the delicious food, the kind and caring staff, the meditative atmosphere that allows to truly rest and overall the soul of the place. Extraordinary.

Incredible, peaceful, and beautiful place. A great mix of jungle, hacienda ruins, posh facilities, and a healing, new age vibe. Quite remote, but that is part of the intrigue. The food is also incredible (even my husband, who is a dedicated carnivore, was floored by it. All the staff was fantastic and very thoughtful about the experience they wanted to create. Wish we stayed longer to get to relax and unwind in such a special spot.

A place to come back

This was an amazing experience and the highlight of our trip. The hotel is nested in the jungle of Yucatan: luscious vegetation, old ruins that witness the passage of the Mayans, a Franciscan community and an old hacienda. Is exquisitely remodelled to blend with the surroundings, with modern and airy architecture, many beautiful pools, and walkable paths. The food is amazing and healthy and the staff warm, welcoming and efficient. We have the impression that is more than a hotel: we noticed various groups of guests in yoga and meditation retreats, coexisting with tourists like us in harmony and respect.

This is an extraordinary place, but it is not for everyone. If you are looking for silence, a place for reflexion, a place where you can hear the sounds of nature, and see the stars at night, this is it. The grounds are impeccably maintained, the service is excellent and non-intrusive. We stayed in a suite (a little house), the excellent design shows everywhere. There is only one restaurant, the food is vegetarian, simple and excellent. The swimming pools are wonderful, and just exploring and listening to the thousands of birds in the jungle is amazing. If you are looking for loud music, alcohol and lots of people this is the wrong place.

El lugar es muy bonito, la vegetación, la jardinería, los árboles, las albercas, un hermoso lugar sin duda alguna. Igual la habitación en la que estuvimos con un baño en el patio con árboles y pequeño jardín, realmente muy agradable. El personal sin duda muy amable. El único punto es que la aventura inicial, sin previo aviso y con mi condición de no me conviene caminar mucho por mi cadera, repercutió en que me doliera y se inflamara de nuevo. O sea tienen que ser mas cuidadosos en esto. Por lo demas fue una grata estancia
