About Sanctuary Tulum
Sanctuary Tulum publishes a rate card that starts at USD 300,000 and runs past USD 1,000,000, and it names exactly one clinician for the whole operation. It is the Caribbean property of the Holistic Sanctuary group, built around the founder's proprietary Pouyan Method: no prescription medication, no group therapy and, in the site's own framing, no talk therapy. Care is organised around medically supervised ibogaine, ayahuasca, psilocybin and 5-MeO-DMT ceremonies, wrapped in a daily stack of intravenous, regenerative and biohacking interventions. Three to five clients are in the building at a time, each in a private suite, with the Platinum tier taking the building down to one. What structurally distinguishes it is the price point set against the published clinical roster, and the fact that a sister property under the same method and the same medical director sells four weeks for roughly one sixth of the entry tier. The group site lists Tulum and Rosarito as its two locations under a common owner; Sanctuary Tulum's own material names no affiliated brand, no parent company and no sister property.
Clinic overview
- Founded
- The clinic states it has operated continuously since 2011. The Better Business Bureau file for the group records a business start date of 13 July 2011, Salon reported the group's first Mexican property opening in 2009, and a directory dates the Tulum property to 2021. The 2011 claim belongs to the group, not to this site. Unresolved.
- Capacity
- Three to five clients are in the building at once on the Gold Package, in the clinic's wording never more. The clinic states the Platinum Package takes the building down to a single client, and the Elite tier places one principal in a separate mansion. No register or independent record confirms any capacity figure. UnverifiedStated by the clinic, not yet confirmed by an independent source
- Staff per client
- No headcount ratio is published. The price page asserts roughly one-to-one professional-to-guest ratios across the day, and another page claims 24 nurses and on-site physicians for every ceremony day. No staff page, roster, rota or third party corroborates either, and none of those nurses is named. UnverifiedStated by the clinic, not yet confirmed by an independent source
- Licence
- The clinic publishes a COFEPRIS Federal Licence of Operation for Hospital and Clinic, number 17-AM-02-005-0003. Publishing a number puts it ahead of most of its tier. It could not be confirmed on any public register: the licensing page offers no lookup and the federal dataset returned HTTP 403. Published but unverified. UnverifiedStated by the clinic, not yet confirmed by an independent source
- Payment and insurance
- Private pay only. No insurance is accepted and no insurer is named.
- Length of stay
- Four to twelve weeks on the Gold and Platinum packages, twelve to sixteen weeks at the Elite tier. The length of stay is set inside the four to twelve week range at the pre-admission medical review.
Leadership
One clinician is named in the entire organisation. Nurses, emergency physicians, facilitators and coaches appear only as unnamed headcounts.

Treatments
Gold Package
Four to twelve weeks
USD 300,000
The entry tier. A private master suite in a building holding at most five clients, with daily regenerative and intravenous protocols, plant-medicine ceremonies under the published cardiac screening, the proprietary Brain Repair IV protocol, hyperbaric oxygen, infrared sauna and cold plunge, bodywork, breathwork and yoga, organic chef-prepared nutrition, and integration windows of 24 to 48 hours after each ceremony. One to three hours a week of dedicated one-to-one coaching is published for this tier.
Platinum Package
Four to twelve weeks
USD 500,000
The oceanfront tier, which the clinic says takes the building down to a single client. Everything in the Gold Package plus oceanfront private accommodation, a deeper regenerative stack including stem cell and ozone work, and a higher ceremony cadence. The clinical difference against Gold is not itemised anywhere: the published difference is accommodation, exclusivity and protocol depth.
Elite VIP Executive Package
Twelve to sixteen weeks
USD 1,000,000 and upward
A private beachfront mansion for one principal, with a private chef, a live-in mental health coach, dedicated fitness and wellness coaching, exosome and stem cell therapy, extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation, plasmapheresis and private ceremonies. Positioned for people who require sole occupancy of a separate property rather than a private suite in a shared building.
Ibogaine treatment
Delivered inside the residential packages
Included in the package fee, no separate price published
Pharmaceutical-grade ibogaine hydrochloride rather than plant extract. Published screening: a full EKG, echocardiogram and cardiac risk assessment before administration, complete bloodwork with liver-function and metabolic panels, a medication interaction review, and supervised transition off benzodiazepines or opioids. Published monitoring: continuous cardiac monitoring through the acute phase, on-site physicians and nurses, a crash cart, a defibrillator and pre-arranged hospital transfer. Published exclusions are named rather than gestured at: untreated cardiac conditions, severe liver disease, active suicidal intent and medical contraindication to travel. The protocol is self-published and unaudited. Dose calculation, QTc thresholds, the monitoring parameters, the complete exclusion list, and the name of the receiving hospital and the transfer time to it are Not published, and Tulum has no tertiary hospital.

Our assessment
No independent review base is tied to this facility. No Google Business Profile was located and no Trustpilot profile exists. The substantial review base in circulation, 53 reviews at 4.9 stars on Yelp, is attached to the group's US mailing address in Beverly Hills under a different brand: it is not a listing for the Tulum facility and should not be read as Tulum review data. The group's own page acknowledges further reviews sitting in that platform's filtered section. Authenticity is contested, with both positions on the record. Salon reported on 9 September 2016 that the group's reviews used suspiciously similar language and that negative reviewers were dismissed by the operator as frauds. Against that, the group states it declines pay-to-play directory listings, does not litigate against reviewers, does not manipulate reviews, and invites prospective clients to read the critical ones. Two critical reviews on a consumer complaints platform were removed on 14 February 2018 under that platform's legitimacy verification programme. No lawsuit, court judgment, regulatory enforcement action, licence suspension or documented death in treatment was located, and the Better Business Bureau file records no complaints. Mexican health-regulator enforcement records are not systematically searchable, so the absence of a public finding is not proof that none exists.

Facility
A stated 10,000 square foot private oceanfront estate on the Caribbean coast, holding at most three to five clients. Accommodation is private luxury suites and bungalows, never shared, and the clinic states there are no group sessions, no shared spaces with strangers and no institutional atmosphere. Grounds are described with swimming pools, a yoga deck, a massage terrace and a gym facing the ocean, with direct beach access. On-site medical and biohacking infrastructure includes a hyperbaric chamber, red-light panels, an infrared sauna, a cold plunge and an intravenous suite. No street address, no room count, no floor plan and no independent photography exist. The only street-level address the clinic publishes is a business centre on Avenida Kukulkan, and the only address in third-party circulation places the operation at Aldea Zama, an inland residential development roughly 3 km from the shoreline, which does not reconcile with an oceanfront estate. Neither can be confirmed.
Food
A private chef prepares all meals. The published model is 100 percent organic superfood nutrition, cold-pressed juicing and targeted supplementation tailored to the treatment phase, on an anti-inflammatory framework built on bone broth, spirulina and colostrum. Ceremony-day fasting and preparation diets form part of the ibogaine protocol, which is a genuine clinical integration of the kitchen rather than a hospitality flourish. A private chef is an inclusion of the Elite package. No chef is named. No nutritionist or dietitian is named. No dietary, micronutrient or food-sensitivity testing is described, and no kitchen hygiene certification, food-safety registration or culinary credential is published. The nutrition programme reads as central to the model and nothing about its execution is independently verifiable.
Privacy
single occupancy per residence
On the Gold Package three to five clients are in the same building at once. Each has a private suite, there are no group sessions, and the clinic states there are no shared spaces with strangers. A shared building with shared grounds, pool, gym and yoga deck cannot support a no-contact guarantee, and the clinic does not claim separate entrances, duplicated communal space, dedicated per-client teams or individual transport. The entry tier is therefore single occupancy per residence, not no client contact. At the Platinum tier the clinic states the package takes the building down to a single client, and the Elite tier places one principal in a separate private beachfront mansion. Both are genuine sole-occupancy offers, self-declared and unaudited. Cutting the other way, and this is unusual in the sector: the group publishes filmed client video testimonials on its own website and channel, drives clients to leave named public reviews, and the founder has posted a public response to a critical review on a consumer platform. No confidentiality policy beyond the privacy notice, no staff agreement, no device policy and no media policy is published anywhere. One mechanism beyond statute is published: health information submitted through the clinic's forms is restricted to admissions and clinical staff with access limited to authorised personnel.

- C1 Client separation and occupancy · 8
Every session is delivered one to one with no group therapy and no shared treatment rooms, and at the entry Gold tier clients have private suites but share one building, which places the standard offer in band 7. The Platinum tier sells sole occupancy of the building, so the one-band tier lift applies and gives band 8, the ceiling for a lifted tier. The lift is scored only at the level the evidence supports: arrival separation, individual transport and scheduling of shared spaces are not established. The clinic's statements about the model agree across pages, so no capacity deduction applies.

- C2 Clinical governance and medical cover · 3
A physician Medical Director holds a stated oversight and clearance role, supervised tapers are provided on site, and nursing runs 24 hours a day with emergency physicians rotating on treatment days. The clinic publishes COFEPRIS licence number 17-AM-02-005-0003, but no register entry for that number could be retrieved, so the licensing element is not met and the licence ceiling applies. No psychiatrist care, overnight physician presence, named receiving hospital, on-site non-psychiatric specialty service, complex-presentation programme or accreditation on the CARF or JCI registers is established, which keeps the clinic at band 3.

- C3 Diagnostic depth on admission · 5
Three assessment elements are published: the Medical Director reviews the cardiology workup, stress test, EKG, imaging and bloodwork and clears or declines each client before admission; pre-admission testing includes metabolic, lipid, blood count, liver and HbA1c panels; and a review call decides suitability. These give band 5. No psychiatric assessment, physician examination on admission or written formulation is published, so the higher bands are not reached.

No exclusions, payment, refund, extension or early-departure terms, legal entity, corporate ownership record, complaints route, inspection results or named data controller is published.

No court judgment, regulator decision or licence action against the operator was found within ten years. The 2016 Salon article concerns the group's Rosarito property and reports unresolved questions, not a finding, and falls outside the five-year window, so it scores nothing. No inspection record, first-hand bylined reporting from the Tulum premises or independent review base tied to this site exists; Trustpilot returns no profile and the homepage rating is not tied to a source.

Frequently asked questions
What does treatment at Sanctuary Tulum cost?
Three published tiers: the Gold Package at USD 300,000 for four to twelve weeks, the Platinum Package at USD 500,000 for four to twelve weeks in oceanfront accommodation, and the Elite VIP Executive Package at USD 1,000,000 and upward for twelve to sixteen weeks in a private beachfront mansion. At the stated durations that is roughly USD 25,000 to USD 75,000 per week. Private pay only, no insurance. Worth knowing before you compare: the same company's other property, running the same method under the same medical director, sells four weeks at around USD 50,000. No exclusions, deposit or refund terms are published.
Where is the clinic and what is the setting?
Tulum, Quintana Roo, on Mexico's Caribbean coast, about two hours south of Cancun. The clinic describes a 10,000 square foot private oceanfront estate with pools, a yoga deck, a massage terrace, a gym and on-site medical infrastructure, and publishes no street address for it. The only address on the contact page is a business centre on Avenida Kukulkan, and third-party listings place the operation inland at Aldea Zama, roughly 3 km from the shoreline. Neither can be confirmed. Tulum has no tertiary hospital, and the nearest full cardiac and intensive-care capability is in Playa del Carmen or Cancun.
Who is the clinic designed for?
Ultra-high-net-worth individuals and executives seeking psychedelic-assisted treatment for opioid, alcohol, benzodiazepine or stimulant dependence, or for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and trauma, who specifically want a model with no prescription medication, no group therapy and no conventional talk therapy. Three to five clients are on site at a time in private suites, with sole occupancy available at the upper tiers. It is not designed for anyone needing psychiatric medication management, CBT, DBT, EMDR or family therapy, none of which appear in the published programme.
How does admission work and how long is the wait?
Admission runs through a confidential review call that decides whether the model fits the person at all, followed by a pre-admission medical review in which the Medical Director reviews the cardiology workup, stress test, EKG, imaging and bloodwork and either clears the client or declines to. Screening before any ibogaine administration includes a full EKG, an echocardiogram and cardiac risk assessment, complete bloodwork with liver-function and metabolic panels, a medication interaction review, and supervised transition for anyone on benzodiazepines or opioids. Applicants with untreated cardiac conditions, severe liver disease, active suicidal intent or a medical contraindication to travel are declined and directed to acute care first. The founder states he is personally involved in every admission while making no clinical decisions. No waiting time is published.
What happens after discharge?
Clients leave with a written integration plan covering sleep, nutrition, movement and ongoing supplementation, including structured check-ins with the clinical team, and the clinic says it stays reachable afterwards and helps arrange continued support locally where needed. No duration, no price, no defined follow-up schedule, no psychiatric follow-up, no alumni service and no outcome-tracking method is published, and whether aftercare is included in the fee is not stated. That is a significant gap at these prices and lengths of stay, and it should be settled in writing before committing.
