Bacalar Sabbatical - October 2026

Oct 14, 2026 to Oct 21, 2026
Bacalar, Mexico

 

You are here, which means something in you is ready to rest.

Lawal Travel Services invites you to Bacalar for seven nights of stillness on Mexico's Lagoon of Seven Colors. This is an intentional space for Black women. Reserve your space below, share a few details, and place your deposit to claim your space. Everything but your flight is handled from the moment you arrive.

Your Stay

This sabbatical is single occupancy: your own private tented hut for all seven nights. Each room is a freestanding structure with no shared walls, a king bed, an outdoor shower, a private terrace, and calm, earthy interiors, set among the jungle and the lagoon. A place to be genuinely alone with yourself.

$5,500 per person, single occupancy.

Your week includes seven nights in your private hut, continental breakfast each morning and dinner each evening, two experiences of your choosing (listed below), daily activities on the grounds, discounted spa services, one shared group experience midweek, and round-trip ground transportation. Airfare is not included.

Signature Experiences

Your stay includes two signature experiences. Choose your preferred experiences and we will sprinkle them into your stay. Each experience is geared towards helping you relax and go inward.

  • Janzu Water Meditation - an aquatic relaxation technique that offers wide benefits to the receiver, through gentle and active movements specified by the professional on the surface and in the water.
  • Temazcal Ceremony - Pre-Hispanic steam ritual for reflection and renewal, guided in a traditional ceremony. This experience honors local traditions and provides a meaningful path toward renewal and inner clarity
  • Sound Healing  Session - Discover the healing power of sound in a serene, intimate setting and experience the calming effects as stress melts away and inner harmony is restored.
  • Holistic Massage (90 minutes) - A tailor-made massage where some of the best techniques, such as Reflexology, Deep Tissue and Stretching, are combined to relieve tension in the body, using herbal mixtures. 

Select your desired options in the Add-Ons section. If you would like an additional wellness experience, we can coordinate it for you with the resort.
