By night a festival.
By day a retreat.
A weekend for 500 on 350 acres of Sonoran desert · Rancho de la Osa, Sasabe, Arizona
Filmed on the ranch · Rancho de la Osa
One weekend, two faces
Music after dark. Sunrise yoga at first light. Your own adobe room in between.
Cábala is not a music festival, a wellness retreat, or a ranch stay. It is all three at once, for five hundred people, on a historic guest ranch an hour and a half from Tucson. You arrive, you stay, you leave — and by the last night, everyone knows each other.

☾ Nights · Music
The desert turns electric
Past editions brought more than forty artists across multiple stages and formats — electronic, cumbia, Afrobeat, jazz, classical, experimental. Firelight, craft spirits, and dancing under a sky with no city to dim it. No wristbands. No crowd crush. Five hundred people, and the whole ranch lights up.

☀ Days · Wellness
Slow mornings, warm light
The day is unhurried by design. Movement and stillness in the shade of mesquite, then craft coffee and curated food. You are not roughing it — the setting is rugged, the experience is not.

- Sound healing & breathwork
- Movement classes & the pool

The place
A hundred-year-old guest ranch at the end of the road
Rancho de la Osa sits on 350 private acres of high Sonoran desert outside Sasabe, Arizona, an hour and a half southwest of Tucson. A Jesuit mission outpost stood on this ground in 1722 — it is the ranch Cantina now, where the festival pours its drinks. The adobe rooms opened to guests on Thanksgiving 1924 and have hosted presidents, novelists and film stars since.
Come with a full tank, layers for cool desert nights, and anything you need for a few days off the grid. Directions and a packing list go out in your pre-arrival email.

Good to know
Before you book
Do I need a ticket if I book a room?
Yes. A room or campsite is where you sleep, not your entry. Every guest needs a weekend ticket.
What if my plans change?
Rooms and camping are fully refundable until two weeks before. Tickets are non-refundable but can be transferred to a friend.
Who can come?
Cábala is 21 and over. Every attendee registers once — account, waiver, ID check — and shows a QR at the gate. It scans with no signal.
How remote is it?
Remote. Sasabe is near the border, ninety minutes from Tucson, with no city glow and patchy cell service. That is the point.
