About

Eremito Hotelito del Alma, translating to "little hotel of the soul," is a modern-day hermitage designed for introspection and spiritual renewal. Embracing simplicity, the retreat eschews digital distractions—there's no Wi-Fi or television—allowing guests to reconnect with nature and themselves. Daily routines include yoga, meditation, and silent vegetarian meals prepared from organic, locally sourced ingredients. ​
