Five acres of Mayan jungle. Private, gated. Held for one wedding at a time.
Start planning together →The whole property is yours from setup through the morning after. Private, gated, deep enough in the jungle that no other event is happening within earshot.
Casa Arkaana is 20 minutes north of Tulum in Chemuyil. Cancún airport is 90 minutes north — we arrange private transfers for the wedding party.
Best months to marry here: November through May, the dry season.
Handcrafted from local wood, open on all sides to the jungle. This is where most couples exchange vows. It holds up to 100 guests.
Some couples exchange vows under the ancient sapote at the edge of the property instead — the largest tree on the land, a quieter, wilder setting.
The flow of a wedding day here: guests arrive, gather in the Temple for the ceremony, spill out to cocktails by the pool, then move into the Glade for dinner and dancing.
The pool is fed by underground cenote water — the same aquifer that carved this coastline. Guests swim, ceremonies happen here, kids play. It's not chlorinated. It's cool year-round.
Sunbeds sit along the edge. On wedding days, the pool becomes part of the celebration — flower petals in the water, torches at the rim, morning-after coffees on the deck.
An open clearing in the jungle, edged by trees on every side. This is where the long tables go, where the dance floor lands, where the string lights hang between branches. Sky above, jungle around.
The Glade is separate from the Temple — one for the ceremony, one for the celebration. Guests move between them the way a wedding day should flow.
A stone-and-earth sweat lodge, built and led in the Mesoamerican tradition. Some couples open the wedding week with a temazcal; others close it the morning after. On request.
It's not decorative — it's an actual ceremony, held by someone who carries the practice. If it belongs in your week, we make space for it.
Four jungle casitas and four veranda ensuites. Sixteen guests on-site — the wedding party, the closest family, whoever wants to stay close to the ceremony space.
Wedding parties usually stay two or three nights. Morning-after breakfast is served by the pool.
The property runs on solar and cenote-fed water. Buildings shaped by the trees, not the other way around. It's why the place feels the way it does.
Wi-Fi is strong across the property. For band or DJ nights, couples rent a generator to power the sound system — standard practice for weddings in this part of the jungle. We coordinate it with your vendor team.
From the very beginning, Maja and Asdru welcomed us and supported us in bringing our vision to life. The closeness to nature made the wedding truly magical. We spent three days there, enjoying the jungle, and left feeling renewed.

Start planning together →From 20 to 100 guests. We don't do large-scale events — every wedding here is personal. On-site accommodation sleeps 16; additional guests stay at nearby hotels in Chemuyil, Akumal, or Tulum (15–25 min away).
November through April is the dry season — 22–28°C, low humidity, minimal rain. May–October is warmer with afternoon showers, but early morning and evening ceremonies work beautifully. We build weather flexibility into every booking.
Most couples book 6–12 months ahead. We accept a limited number of weddings per year — this is our home, not a rented calendar. If you have a specific date in mind (especially November–April), reach out early.
