OUR SPACES
The Sanctuary arises from a dialogue with the mountain, and its spaces constitute it as parts of a sentient body. Every corner is a gateway to a journey of healing, growth, expansion, and clarity, where contact with nature and the ancestral wisdom of diverse cultures guide the way to inner peace.
QUARTZ MOUNTAIN
The natural formation of the quartz deposits within El Santuario mountain took millions of years of transformation and fusion of natural elements. Quartz is a crystallized mineral with healing vibrations, resonances, and frequencies, capable of absorbing, transforming, and projecting energy to calm the mind and balance emotions.
Its vibration reaches the heart and makes it beat at the same frequency as the universe.
THE OVARY OF THE
SNAKE
Like the snake and its undulating body that moves with head and tail in cyclical continuity, this space is a symbol of renewal, rebirth, and the ability to accept the moments that lead us to shed our skin so that transformation can happen.
MOUNTAIN TEMAZCAL
Deep within our quartz mountain lies the nurturing womb of Mother Earth, embraced by the warmth of the ancient stones, which ignite the inner fire that transmutes all things, allowing them to be reborn. Pure and ancestral medicine, penetrating the soul and nourished by primordial forces, herbs, shamanic chants, and healing intentions.
DOOR OF THE NIGHT
The stained glass window is a creation of light by the Italian master Narcissus Quagliata, considered one of the most important contemporary glass artists in the world, and symbolizes the transition that takes place between darkness and light.
The door encourages us to travel, ventures us into mystery, and represents the access point to a new reality.
SWAN FOUNTAIN
The swan in the water is a space for contemplation that welcomes visitors to the Sanctuary and represents the union between the mortal body and the transcendence inherent in the soul. It is an ancient symbol of purity, grace, beauty, elegance, and the serenity that leads to calm and the attainment of higher states of spiritual consciousness.
WATER FEATURES
Bridges between the physical and spiritual worlds reveal the passage of time and draw our gaze inward. Water, as a source of life and a sacred, unifying element, demonstrates through its ever-changing form and adaptability that true strength lies in fluidity.
PIANO LADDER
Among the subtle vibrations of the mountain spirit, there resonated the request to build a staircase whose steps, suspended in the air, when stepped on, will unleash a delicate movement capable of directing attention towards the eternal existence of the present moment.
STAINED GLASS DOME
This extraordinary stained-glass window offers a poetic vision of the cosmos, the dance of its elements, and the essence of life within it. The colors emanating from its crystals as they embrace the light imbue the space with the serenity necessary for meditation, introspection, and reflecting on one's own spiritual journey.
An extraordinary work of art in glass by the Italian master Narcissus Quagliata, author of the dome of the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli in Rome.
THE BUDDHA
The serene presence of Buddha evokes a sense of calm and balance, awakening compassion, mindfulness, and detachment in meditative states. His figure symbolizes the quest for enlightenment, the transient nature of reality, and the importance of living in the present moment.
THE LABYRINTH
An evocation of the Chartres labyrinth, the symbolic entrance to the celestial city. It was created following the lines of sacred geometry that manifests divinity in the universe and invites one to embark on life's journey with presence. To enter a labyrinth is to immerse oneself on a path of transformation, where one must trust the path, even when the final destination is unknown.
CHAPEL
This majestic space rises like a vortex, destined to be a place of unity, where heaven and earth intertwine their essences. Its circular design not only facilitates connection but also allows for the harmonious flow of energy. Imbued with serenity and light, our Chapel is an environment created for shared spiritual growth.
THE I CHING HEXAGRAM
The I Ching, a treasure of ancient Chinese wisdom, transcends mere divination; it reflects the wisdom of sages from the past. Its sixty-four hexagrams, symbolizing heaven and earth, align with the sixty-four chambers of the quartz mountain at El Santuario. Each chamber offers a unique message, allowing our guests to discover the spiritual purpose of their stay.
ROOM DOORS
Duality is present in day and night, light and darkness, the sun and the moon. The Yin-Yang of the I Ching, a philosophy represented in the 134 rooms, is inspired by the 64 hexagrams. The door to each room is a work of art, a manifestation of the feminine and masculine aspects that are integrated within each being. It is an invitation to recognize non-duality, the integration within each of us.
SWIMMING POOLS
Our pools are not only a place to relax your body and mind, but they also invite you to contemplate the lake views, allowing for a direct connection with nature. In addition to being revitalizing, they are sensory and recreational spaces where smiles flow and the inner child is healed by being allowed to be present and play freely.
REST ROOMS
In spacious and welcoming armchairs, surrounded by serenity, you can enjoy moments of calm, take a call, work, immerse yourself in reading a book or share inspiring conversations with other guests.
Our lounges are scattered throughout the hotel, some in beautiful indoor spaces and others with panoramic views of the dreamlike landscape that the lake offers us.
