Cabañas Aldea Maya-ha

We wrapped up our adventure in the Mayan jungle at Aldea Maya-Ha, and honestly, this place is pure magic. If you’re looking for a hidden gem, this is it! Family-owned and operated, the cabins/palapas were handcrafted by the owner, Julio, using traditional Mayan building techniques. Every corner of this place honors the land and its natural resources. From the hand-built furniture to the thoughtful details, you can feel the connection to nature everywhere you go. Cenotes? Check. Imagine swimming in natural underground caves that feel like something straight out of a dream. There’s also a one-of-a-kind, handmade sweat lodge, a perfect way to experience an authentic Mayan tradition. For those seeking tranquility, the enclosed meditation room is the ultimate escape—whether you’re here for a yoga retreat or just want a quiet space to reflect. Let’s talk food. Elda, a true gem, whips up fresh breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily in the charming open dining area. The meals are homemade and served from 8am to 8pm, and everything is made with love by the family. If relaxation is your thing, you’ll love the hot tub perched above the pool—talk about a serene view. The pathways are well-marked and lit, making it easy to explore this peaceful retreat. Whether you’re after adventure or some serious R&R, Aldea Maya-Ha is a must-visit destination. We will definitely be back!

Aldea Maya-ha is such a peaceful, soothing, space to be, to just be. Julio and Elba are amazing hosts and make one feel so at home and taken care of, with their food, lodging, cenotes, and maloka. What an amazing stay and close enough to the beach and town, but far away enough that you get the seclusion you desire. I cannot recommend this place enough, it helped rejuvenate my over-worked spirit and I plan to come back to Aldea Maya-ha. Much gratitude to this space and its owners (plus two cute dogs). Gracias!

We were looking for somewhere that is beautify and we could be in the jungle, near cenotes, could do ceremony and eat good food. Aldea Maya Ha exceeded all of our expectations! The cabins were beautiful and were obviously crafted with care and love. I spent a lot of time marveling at the craftsmanship and skill that went into them. They were clean and comfortable. The property was just remote enough – not too far from Puerto Morelos beach and not too close to anything else. You could use this as a home base for your explorations or just stay here enjoying the cenotes, wildlife, sound of the wind in the trees and the activities (Temazcal, etc) they offer here. The two cenotes were magical, each with their own characteristics and attributes that made them very special places. We ate many of our meals here and the the food was excellent every time with the variety and vegetarian, vegan and non-veg options kept everyone happy. You have to try the vegan ice cream, by the way! Julio was an amazing host. We had a couple special requests and he went to great lengths to make it all work. His communication, generosity, cheerfulness and love for his guests - each at such a high level - is something I have never experienced in my travels around the world. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. We came back for one more night on our way back to the airport so we could take in a bit more of the magic of this place. I already want to back. There is a lot of great info and pictures on their website – check it out!!

It was beautiful and serene. Fully in the jungle and totally in nature. Julio makes delicious food. We loved the guacamole and fish tacos and smoothies! There’s a Cenote to splash around in and it’s a real place to retreat. We slept so well there!
