Ecuador’s Magical Place for Healing
High in the Ecuadorian Andes in La Mana, at the transition point to the coastal region, where the aquifers of Cotopaxi volcano meet the magnetic energy of Quilotoa crater, Korimana rises as more than a luxury retreat—it feels like stepping into a sacred place. From the moment travelers arrive, the journey begins. The road climbs nearly 13,000 feet, winding through breathtaking Andean landscapes before revealing the main entrance, a glass pyramid, a tribute to the first Splendor spring discovered, representing the energetic triad.

“There are places you visit & there are places that transform you.”
A Journey to Transformational Experience
Pure! Travel Group participated in Korimana’s signature healing retreat for a preview of their three intentional phases: Awaken, Align, and Ascend. Each phase is designed to reconnect guests with their inner energy and nature through a curated blend of therapies and sacred spaces led by local experts.
- Awaken: The healing process starts realigning mind, body, and spirit through Kabbalistic astrology insights, energy harmonization with Syntergetic Medicine, and guided shamanic meditation, clearing mental noise, restoring balance, and creating space for profound renewal and awakening.
- Align: The second stage, through in-depth birth chart analysis, participants uncover dominant elemental forces shaping their life journey. The experience supports the release of limiting patterns while combining astrological insight with personalized coaching to rebuild self-confidence, strengthen empowerment, and guide them toward higher consciousness and purposeful living.
- Ascend: The final stage, through guided meditations and purpose-driven practices, participants access inner guidance, shift toward a mindset of trust and surrender, and align with their life’s purpose, energy creation, and their higher self. This transformative experience fosters fulfillment, conscious living, and a profound sense of gratitude, abundance, and meaningful connection with others.
Reconnecting Body, Soul & Spirit
Get immersed in Korimana’s Wellness Treatments. These are not simply spa services; they are rituals rooted in ancestral wisdom and bioenergetic science to strengthen inner balance and inspire lasting physical, emotional, and energetic well-being.
From activation massages that allow for energy-harmonization sessions and the clearing of energetic blockages, using essential oils, healing essence of ancestral cacao, or volcanic stones.
Also, the Temazcal, an ancient sweat lodge ritual representing the womb of Mother Earth, offers a complete renewal that realigns your spirit and physical harmony. Another option under the guidance of a physiatrist allows you to restore the body’s natural rhythm through therapeutic movements and restorative techniques.
Besides, the Detoxifying Sweat Therapy, through the heat and steam of the Turkish bath and sauna, as well as the thermic stimulation from warm and cold plunges into the water, stimulates circulation and energetic flow.
“Where energy aligns, healing begins.”
Wellness meets Refined Luxury
Despite its spiritual core, Korimana delivers high-end comfort that discerning clients expect. The property hosts only 18 exclusive accommodations, including the Divine Renewal Suite, Harmony Suites, and Serenity Retreat rooms equipped with sustainable amenities and high technology. Each vista is intentionally aligned with the retreat’s cosmic center, blending numerology, architecture, and panoramic mountain views.
Additionally, the property features thoughtfully planned indoor and outdoor facilities that foster reconnection with your inner self and others. Including an infinity chlorine-free pool, the yoga balcony, the Meditation Cosmic Portal, the Consciousness Connection Point, the Serene Lounge, the Pyramid feet activation center, and areas dedicated to wellness treatments, rituals, and ceremonies.
Amenities also include the Nature Biological Exploration Station, a detox juice bar, 24-hour backend with Starlink internet, concierge service, coworking space, helicopter emergency response, and laundry.
One of the most unique elements of Korimana is that it is home to Splendor water. Sourced on the property and designed to preserve its energetic properties, supporting chakra alignment and holistic well-being.
Conscious Dining & Sustainability
Wellness continues at the table. The Specialty Wellness Restaurant focuses on nourishing cuisine featuring signature and haute cuisine with vegan, keto, and Ayurvedic options included. Fresh ingredients, detox juices, and mindful preparation support each guest’s transformation. Before your travel, you receive a detailed form about what you like to eat to tailor your meals during your stay.
Additionally, Korimana’s deep connection to water, forest, and environment reflects its sustainability philosophy. Built in harmony with nature, surrounded by primary forest and nature trails, the retreat encourages respect for both the Earth and ancestral knowledge while admiring local species and incredible landscapes.
What to know before your healing retreat?
- It is a holistic healing rather than a traditional spa or wellness relaxation experience. Therefore, it is essential to be open to spiritual growth. Also, keep light meals in the days before the retreat.
- Korimana’s healing and wellness treatments are ideal for high-end travelers, solo travelers, parents, couples, transformational seekers, corporate leaders, teams, and private groups.
- Korimana offers a wide range of experiences year-round. Travelers can join scheduled retreats, special date ceremonies, dedicated workshops for corporate connection, parenting retreats, and retreats to reconnect with their inner self, or get a customized experience.
- How to get there? The journey to Korimana begins with arrival in Quito and an overnight stay near Mariscal Sucre Airport. The following day, a scenic 3.5-hour drive through the Ecuadorian Andes. Korimana’s staff offers these seamless transfers from Quito, allowing a comfortable arrival for the participants.
- What to pack? Bring layers, comfortable light clothing, a sweater, swimwear, and suitable shoes for walking.
- The 4- or 5-day programs are recommended to live the complete experience. You can extend or complement your stay with a visit to the Volcanoes Avenue and haciendas in Cotopaxi.
- The Wi-Fi connection could be limited to offer a truly disconnected experience for participants on the retreat.
“Korimana is not just a retreat—it is a portal to deeper spiritual awakening.”
