Ayni Sanctuary sits in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, a holistic space in Calca that combines comfort, nature, and a deep commitment to the land around it.

PLACEHOLDER. The valley wakes before we do. Mornings begin outside, with the mountains still deciding what colour they are, and the day arranges itself from there.

We hosted a yoga teacher training here and had such a beautiful experience! Joel and the entire Ayni team go above & beyond to support their guests. The food was incredible and we truly felt right at home. I highly recommend Ayni Sanctuary💛 …

Such a beautiful space in the beautiful valley ☺️. Everyone was so kind and welcoming. I got to walk barefoot in the grass everyday and enjoy the campfire at night. Rooms were cozy and lovely. Plenty of kitchen space to cook. Highly recommend staying at this wonderful sanctuary in the sacred valley!

Beautiful retreat center. They have thought of all the modern comforts to relax and feel at home. The staff are especially friendly and welcoming. Lots of English speaking and inviting nature in the valley.
