A place to gather unlike anywhere else
THE MOMENT YOU ARRIVE YOU EXHALE
A Home Made for Gathering.
Nestled in the Pueblo Mágico of Tepoztlán, just 90 minutes from Mexico City, Feronia sits beneath the cliffs of El Tepozteco, surrounded by gardens, mountains, and centuries of tradition.
Named after the Roman goddess of abundance, Feronia is a quiet tribute to the ample beauty that surrounds it. More importantly, it’s a private estate created to bring people together—where friends, families, and colleagues gather, celebrate, and feel at home.

Tepoztlan Renewal Retreat with Hilary Phelps
Join Hilary Phelps for a restorative five-day luxury retreat at Feronia, a private mountainside sanctuary in Tepoztlán, Mexico, October 14–18.
Throughout the retreat, Hilary personally guides you through eight transformational experiences that weave together gentle movement, restorative practices, heartfelt conversation, and personal reflection, creating space for deeper connection and renewal in one of Mexico’s most mystical destinations, long celebrated for its healing energy and breathtaking natural beauty.
Nestled on six private acres, Feronia offers extraordinary spaces to restore and reconnect, including lush botanical gardens, a sunken grass tennis court, equestrian stables, peaceful walking trails, a resort-style pool, and a one-of-a-kind vegetable labyrinth.
