If this is a quote that sings to you – then this is the post for you.

Mexico is known for its luxury resorts – it’s what they do best. But if you are interested in experiencing luxury with a twist of stunning colonial heritage on the side than your next vacay has to be to a Mexican Hacienda – the Best Luxury Yucatan resorts!

What is a Mexican Hacienda?

Hacienda simply means an estate of significant size, and back in the olden days, they were used as plantations, mines, and factories. Fast forward to 2017 and you’ll discover that some of the better kept Mexican Haciendas have been transformed into luxury Yucatan resorts like you’ve never known. The past and the present mold together to create an atmosphere at is truly unique.

It’s like stepping back in time while still keeping the comforts of today’s world at hand. Hea-ven-ly!

In the Yucatan region of Mexico (where we will be focusing on today) many of the local Mexican Haciendas even have their own private cenotes. This is something quite special to this region and one of our favorite features of the Yucatan.

Cenotes Yucatan

Cenotes are beautiful natural pits that reveal fresh underground water. While often in the past cenotes were used as places to retrieve fresh water, these days they make incredible swimming holes and many are even deep enough to scuba dive in. While there are many in the region, some of the most beautiful and pristine cenotes can be found at these private Mexican Haciendas.

Mexican Haciendas are something everyone needs to experience at least once in their life, seriously! So without further adieu here are the BEST Mexican Haciendas – Luxury Yucatan Resorts.
