Located just 15 minutes away from downtown Merida, Hacienda Xcanatun, part of the Angsana Heritage Collection, is a beacon of history and tradition. This iconic henequen (sisal) hacienda, restored to its 18th-century grandeur, stands as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Yucatan.
The resort boasts 18 historic suites that seamlessly blend contemporary details with local touches, and 36 newly designed suites that offer a harmonious balance between nature and modern spaces. These suites, designed by a locally recognized architectural firm in Merida, uniquely incorporate traditional materials of the henequen haciendas, exuding an austere, elegant, and avant-garde air.
Hacienda Xcanatun is set amidst four acres of private gardens, teeming with lush vegetation and vibrant tropical flowers, underscoring the beauty that made it one of the most important haciendas in Yucatan. The resort’s iconic “Casa de Piedra” restaurant, serving regional and spontaneous cuisine, is a traditional favorite among locals.
The recent expansion of the resort introduced an Olympic-size swimming pool, a gym, a yoga deck, and a new spa pavilion. These additions, along with the poolside snack bar and the Angsana Spa, offer tranquil spaces for guests to rejuvenate and immerse in nature.
Hacienda Xcanatun brings a novel concept of a luxurious “urban resort” to the historic city of Merida. With its blend of history, luxury, and nature, it offers an unparalleled experience for those seeking a unique getaway. Its accolades, including the AAA Four Diamond Award 2021 and the Tripadvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards 2022, attest to its commitment to excellence.
In conclusion, Hacienda Xcanatun is more than just a resort; it’s a captivating tale fusing the best of two eras, offering guests a journey through time and a taste of the Yucatan’s rich heritage.
