In the southeast of Mexico, surrounded by the clear blue waters of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, lies the peninsula of the Yucatan, where the great Mayan culture once flourished amidst tropical forests. A 45 minute drive from the international airport of Merida, the state capital, lies Hacienda Santa Rosa de Lima.
Santa Rosa, a small Hacienda in the Heart of the Yucatan Peninsula recreates the belle époque of the Mexican southeast. The 11 rooms and suites are conditioned with exquisite details and locate in the main 18th century building, surrounded by beautiful gardens.

Learn about the history, our role in the social context of this ever evolving land, the rich juxtaposition of the ancient and modern cultures.

The Hacienda Santa Rosa Hotel Dining
The culinary delights of a typical Yucatecan kitchen come from a mouth watering mixture of European and Mexican flavors (Mestizo Cuisine). A bit of history will explain this strong European influence. Once upon a time the Yucatecan peninsula was considered to be too far away and too difficult to reach from the rest of Mexico. Mountainous terrain and very poor roads kept the peninsula isolated. Having ports with commercial and cultural contacts with Europe, (especially France), New Orleans, Cuba and Arab immigrants, the Yucatecans were easily influenced by many aspects of these countries and cultures, such as dress, architecture and cooking, which explains why there is a lot of European flare in its cuisine.
Much of the ingredients used in the menu is organic and comes from the gardens of the hacienda Santa Rosa or any of the other haciendas of the group. Fresh-baked bread, tortillas and delicious marmalades are made at the hacienda and the fresh fish comes from the different coastal villages you can find at the coast of the state of Yucatan.
The menu proposes a blend of regional and international cuisine. With our chef José Gudalupe Huh leading the charge supervised by our executive chef Christian Bravo, he'll show you how to fully grasp the gravity of this emblematic cuisine. He elides nothing offering all his secrets and your culinary knowledge and skills will blossom under his guidance. José Gudalupe Huh's cuisine will melt in your hearts.
Once you arrive at the hacienda do not forget to ask your Host for our "Romantic Dinner" arrangements, just imagine your dinner for two served in a perfect hideaway were the grounds are lit by twinkling candles. We can also take care of regional romantic music arrangements: the well known "Trio" or "Trobador", just for the two of you.

The Spas
Surrounded by dense tropical jungle and exotic wildlife this secluded and beautifully restaured hacienda is possibly the most intimate and exclusive atmosphere where guests are invited to distance themselves from the outside world.
The term "Hol Bé" comes from the Mayan language and translates as "Open Way or Opening the Way in the forest" which sets the mood for the unique calming experience within the Spa. Helping to preserve the ancient Mayan healing practices of the Yucatan peninsula, a select group of the local Mayan therapists have been carefully chosen to provide the special treatments and services offered in the Spa. Several of the therapist’s ancestors were authentic Mayan "Sobadores" or so called "bone healers" and throughout generations handed down techniques and treatments only found in the Mayan world. Their hands and magical restorative spirit help to restore health, energy and beauty in a holistic ambience.
Dedicated to pampering guests in a restful retreat in harmony with nature, The Spas at The Haciendas are based on "high-touch, low tech" concept that celebrates the human touch and use of natural, often indigenous, spa products.
