atmospheric hideaway
Set on a former sisal plantation, Hacienda Xcanatun is a tranquil, atmospheric hideaway situated just outside of Merida
A beautifully restored hacienda dating back to the 18th century, the property was magically transformed by its owners into a small luxury hotel. Though just minutes from Merida, this elegant hideaway and its nine acres of luscious tropical gardens feels far removed from the hustle and bustle of the capital. The 18 suites come beautifully adorned with antiques, hand-carved colonial furnishings and intricate textiles. The bathrooms are generously sized with carved rock bathtubs.
When not exploring Merida’s historic streets, your time can be spent strolling about the hotel’s pretty grounds with its lily ponds, sacred trees and gently-flowing waterfall. There’s also two swimming pools and a spa offering Maya-style massages. The Casa de Piedra restaurant is a favourite among locals, serving up a unique menu of Caribbean-inspired dishes prepared using French techniques.
