Chablé Yucatan, Mexico

Morning light filters through ceiba trees and lands on mossy stone walls, the air sweet with orange blossoms and wet earth. 

Chablé Yucatán restores a 19th-century henequén hacienda into a 40-key retreat where private casitas hide in jungle gardens and a natural cenote glows like liquid jade. 

This is countryside Yucatán at its most cinematic—hand-hewn limestone, hummingbirds, and nights perfumed with copal and lime.

What Makes It Special

• Historic hacienda grounds reborn with contemporary design—arches, chapel, engine house, and dry-stacked stone paths.
• Boutique scale (40) with stand-alone casitas and villas, many with private pools and outdoor living spaces.
• Spa anchored by a sacred cenote, with Mayan-inspired rituals (cacao, melipona honey, and herbal steams).
• Gastronomy rooted in terroir—Yucatecan chiles, corn nixtamal, garden harvest, and wood fire.
• Quiet countryside setting, yet close enough for day trips to haciendas, cenotes, and archaeological sites.

A Day at Chablé Yucatán

Morning

A knock at your gate; a tray with coffee from nearby fincas and warm pan dulce appears. Bare feet meet cool stone as you float in your private pool, dragonflies stitching the surface. After chaya eggs with salsa de molcajete, pedal a vintage bike beneath royal palms; fallen bougainvillea petals crunch like confetti.

Afternoon

The spa cenote calls. A guided ritual winds from copal smoke to a cool plunge; the water tastes faintly of limestone. Lunch arrives under a tamarind tree: cochinita tacos on handmade tortillas, pickled red onions bright as hibiscus. Siesta in a woven hammock; cicadas provide the soundtrack.

Evening

Golden hour paints the stucco apricot. A margarita kissed with sour orange and sal de gusano sets the tone for a chef’s tasting—charred squash blossom, achiote-marinated grouper, and chocolate with chile and honey.

Night

Lanterns thread the pathways. Back at your casita, the jungle hum deepens; linen sheets cool the skin, and the room holds a whisper of gardenia and rain.

Insider Tips for Chablé Yucatan

• All casitas are private, spacious, and come with a plunge pool, hammock, and outdoor shower — you can’t really go wrong.
• The resort is about 40 minutes from Mérida airport, deep in the Yucatán countryside.
• Bring everything you might need—the property is remote, and stores/pharmacies are not nearby.
• The spa is world-class—built around a natural cenote and deeply rooted in Mayan healing rituals.
• Use the complimentary bikes at your casita to explore the estate—it’s large and beautifully landscaped.
• Ixi’im Restaurant offers refined Yucatecan cuisine and one of the largest tequila collections in Mexico.
