Beyond the hotel
The Yucatan Peninsula is a treasure of natural wonders, archaeological vestiges, and living traditions. Our concierge team can help you discover the best of the region through carefully curated experiences.
Visit the wonder of the world before the crowds arrive. Early departure from the hotel with private transport and a bilingual specialist guide. Explore the Kukulcan pyramid, the Temple of the Warriors, and the sacred cenote with detailed explanations of Mayan cosmology. Includes a Yucatecan breakfast at a restored hacienda on the way back.
Explore three sacred cenotes in a single day: one open-air, one semi-enclosed, and one underground vault. Swim in turquoise crystalline waters surrounded by ancient stalactite formations thousands of years old. Your guide will share the ritual importance these natural wells held for the ancient Maya. Transport, snorkel gear, and a regional lunch are included.
Walk through the Lucas de Galvez Market accompanied by a local chef who knows every stall. Taste indigenous ingredients like habanero peppers, pumpkin seeds, and freshly ground achiote. Learn about the ancestral techniques of Yucatecan cuisine while sampling cochinita tacos, panuchos, and fresh aguas frescas prepared on the spot.
Travel back in time visiting the majestic haciendas of the green gold era, living testimony to Yucatan's golden age. Tour restored salons with original European furniture, French-style gardens, and stone chapels. Some haciendas include private cenotes where you can swim in complete tranquility far from the tourist routes.
Navigate through the Celestun Biosphere Reserve by boat and observe thousands of pink flamingos feeding in the shallow waters of the estuary. Beyond flamingos, you may spot pelicans, herons, and cormorants in their natural habitat. The tour includes a freshwater spring surrounded by mangroves, perfect for a swim.
Learn to prepare traditional dishes like cochinita pibil, papadzules, and sopa de lima in a hands-on class guided by our chef. You will start by selecting fresh ingredients and finish by tasting your own creations at a shared table. Each participant receives a digital recipe book to recreate the flavors of Yucatan at home.
Discover Plantel Matilde, a contemporary art, nature, and architecture space set in a former henequen hacienda on the outskirts of Merida. Explore galleries featuring international artists, walk through sculpture gardens, and admire the stunning restored chapel. A place where art and the Yucatecan jungle converge in perfect harmony.
Experience something truly unique with Melipona bees, a stingless species sacred to the ancient Maya that produces unparalleled medicinal honey. Visit a traditional meliponary where you will learn about ancestral beekeeping, the role of these bees in the Yucatecan ecosystem, and taste different varieties of native honey. An authentic connection to the pre-Hispanic traditions of the peninsula.
