01 · Who we are
IKAL Tepoztlán is a private estate where nature, community and ancestral wisdom meet. Set in the heart of the valley, beneath the Tepozteco mountain, we host a limited number of celebrations and gatherings, each one curated in detail and attended personally.
Privacy, discretion and unhurried attention define every event here. Moments remembered for the texture of the light, the flavour of the food, the quiet of the place and the people who share it.
02 · Where we are
Just over an hour from Mexico City, among mountains, gardens and silence. A magic town that has been a place of pilgrimage, retreat and celebration since pre-Hispanic times.
Surrounded by greenery with the Tepozteco rising behind us, the estate offers the privacy and calm of the valley within effortless reach of the capital — for you and your international guests.
Get directions03 · Why choose IKAL
At IKAL, every element of the event is designed with intention and delivered with personal attention. Five pillars that make your weekend truly one of a kind.
01
Contemporary Mexican cooking by Chef Max, built on seasonal ingredients from the valley.
02
A secluded estate where your celebration has the mountain to itself.
03
Gardens and open spaces framed by the sacred mountains of Tepoztlán.
04
An in-house team and trusted network managing every layer of your event.
05
Every gathering is conceived as an intimate, singular, memorable occasion.
Every detail, an offering.
04 · The experience
The celebration begins the day before. An intimate welcome gathering on Friday afternoon and a farewell brunch on Sunday turn the weekend into a complete experience — always in natural light and with the valley horizon.
An intimate gathering the afternoon before the wedding, so families, friends and guests travelling from everywhere can meet without the formality of the main day.
Choose between a cocktail with canapés or a three-course dinner around one long table in the afternoon light.
Canapés · Three courses
The day after. A brunch to close the celebration with calm, thank the guests who travelled and end the weekend with the same care with which it opened.
Two brunch formats — a classic brunch with regional bakery and fruit, or a house brunch with a fresh seafood bar.

Each space has its own character and capacity, and they can be combined to follow the flow of the event — cocktails in a garden, dinner in the palapa, brunch on the terrace. All in natural light with valley views. Your dedicated coordinator will confirm capacities and design the layout with you.

06 · Our kitchen
Our kitchen reinterprets Mexican tradition through a contemporary lens. We work with local producers from Morelos and the valley, with seasonal ingredients and plating that honours the produce.
Every menu is designed around your celebration and the moment of the day — canapés that flow with conversation, dinners that slow the pace, brunches that open the morning gently.
“Cooking as an offering to the moment and to those who share it.”
Chef Max · IKAL Tepoztlán
11 · Our bar
From signature cocktails inspired by ancestral ingredients to cold-press juices and carefully considered mocktails, we offer a liquid experience that accompanies and elevates every event.
Our bar works with mezcals from artisanal producers, seasonal citrus and herbs from the valley. Every cocktail is made to order and served in selected glassware.
“Every drink is designed to pair with the moment, the atmosphere and your guests.”
