About Templia Art

Templia Art is a luxury stay nestled in Luum Zama, within the Aldea Zama community of Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico. The property blends contemporary architecture with elements inspired by Maya civilization — from the private pool and jungle garden to the communal firepit designed for evening reflection.

With two bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dedicated workspace, and air conditioning throughout, Templia Art accommodates up to four guests in comfort. The property sits minutes from Tulum's Caribbean coastline, cenotes, and archaeological sites.

Every stay at Templia Art includes a personalized journey page guided by the Tzolk'in — the 260-day sacred calendar of the Maya civilization. The Tzolk'in combines 13 tones with 20 day signs (nawals) to create a cycle that has been continuously observed by Maya daykeepers for over two millennia.

Your journey page maps the nawals of each day of your stay, connecting cultural activities, cenote visits, and local experiences to the energetic qualities of each day sign. If you share your birth date, the journey also reveals your personal nawal — the day sign and tone that accompanied your arrival into the world.

The result is an itinerary that weaves modern travel with thousands of years of cultural wisdom — not as appropriation, but as an invitation to experience Tulum through the lens of the living Maya tradition.

Templia Art was created with the belief that travel should be more than a change of scenery. In a region where Maya culture is often reduced to souvenir markets and ruins tours, we wanted to offer something deeper — a stay that honors the living intellectual heritage of the Maya people.

The Tzolkin journey is our way of bridging that gap. By connecting each guest's dates to the sacred calendar, we create a framework for experiencing Tulum that is personal, culturally grounded, and unlike anything a guidebook can offer.

Tulum's ancient name was Zama, meaning “dawn” — it was one of the last cities built and inhabited by the Maya. Today, the region is home to ongoing cultural preservation efforts, including the Parque del Jaguar (a 1,000-hectare protected reserve) and the Museo Regional de la Costa Oriental, which houses over 300 original artifacts spanning Caribbean Maya history from prehistoric times to the present.

We encourage every guest to explore these sites during their stay. Your Tzolkin journey page includes recommendations and context for visiting them.
