A private sanctuary in nature offering all-inclusive healing experiences dedicated to the wellbeing of the body, mind, and spirit.​
Through ancestral medicines, holistic wellness practices, and professional support, we create carefully designed experiences that open the path toward deep personal healing, clarity, and transformation.
A space where nature, ancestral wisdom, and professional care come together to create meaningful and transformative experiences.
The New Life Experience
At New Life, we create intimate, personalized experiences — not in large groups.
Here, guests are invited to experience immersive wellness programs designed to reset, reconnect, and restore balance. For those seeking deeper transformation, ancestral medicines are also available, including Ibogaine, Sacred Mushrooms, and selected DMT-based journeys.
Whether it’s your first time or you’re traveling alone, our team supports you at every stage of the journey, so you can feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home
Safety and Professional Support
Whether you are here for a wellness experience or exploring deeper work through ancestral medicine, your safety and well-being are our priority. Our team provides personalized guidance and support throughout your entire journey, so you can feel safe, held, and at ease.
New Life Riviera Maya was created from a personal journey of healing and transformation.
OUR STORY
After more than a decade working in the hospitality industry, its founder, Samantha Ortiz, began a deeper search for wellbeing and inner connection. Through her own experiences with holistic practices and ancestral medicines, she discovered tools that profoundly transformed her life.
​
During this process, she had the opportunity to meet doctors and specialists with extensive experience in these medicines, who today form part of the team that makes this project possible.
Inspired by this path, Samantha created New Life Riviera Maya: a sanctuary where ancestral wisdom, professional support, and nature come together to offer a safe space where people can heal, transform, and open the path toward a life of greater fulfillment and happiness.
Private Temazcal
At New Life, we have a private temazcal — a space created for cleansing, renewal, and inner connection.
The purification of the body, mind, and spirit is an essential part of our programs and experiences. The temazcal, an ancient Mesoamerican tradition, functions as a deep herbal steam bath with medicinal plants such as rosemary, eucalyptus, rue, and basil, which help release tension, detoxify the body, and promote a state of calm and introspection.
​
Built with local materials, it traditionally symbolizes the womb of Mother Earth — a place where heat, steam, and herbs invite you to release, renew, and be reborn.
Culinary Experience
Nutrition is an essential part of the experience at New Life Riviera Maya.
Each meal is carefully prepared by our chef using organic and natural ingredients. We believe that nourishing the body should also be a pleasure.
For this reason, every dish is designed not only to support the body’s balance and well-being, but also to delight the senses and become an experience in itself.
