The Sanctuary Experience
Mayan Rainforest EstateDeep within 750 acres of untamed Mayan jungle in Chocholá, just 25 minutes south of Mérida, Chablé Yucatán represents the pinnacle of private luxury and holistic wellness in the Americas. Built around the evocative ruins of an aristocratic 19th-century henequen plantation, the resort masterfully fuses historic Mayan and colonial stone architecture with breathtaking contemporary glass pavilions—a design achievement crowned with the prestigious Prix Versailles World Architecture Award and recognized as No. 13 on The World's 50 Best Hotels.
Guests reside in 40 ultra-private standalone casitas and palatial multi-bedroom villas, each completely secluded by lush tropical rainforest. Designed with local limestone, rich zapote woods, and floor-to-ceiling glass walls, every casita features an expansive wooden sun deck, private heated swimming pool, outdoor daybed hammock, and a bathroom that opens directly to an open-air moon shower enveloped in tropical palms.
At the spiritual center of the estate lies the internationally celebrated Chablé Spa, ingeniously constructed suspended over a natural, sacred cenote. Blending ancient Maya healing traditions, temazcal sweat lodge ceremonies, and modern hydrotherapy, guests embark on transformative wellness journeys led by resident Maya shamans.
Gastronomy at Chablé Yucatán is equally extraordinary. Acclaimed fine-dining restaurant Ixi'im—meaning "corn" in Mayan—occupies the estate's historic machine house, where inventive contemporary Mexican dishes are paired with selections from the resort's Guinness World Record-holding private tequila collection. By the lagoon-like central pool, Ki'ol offers vibrant farm-to-table cuisine crafted from the property's traditional Maya raised garden beds (Ka'anches), while Casa Principal and the Cigar Bar invite guests to savor artisanal mezcals beneath 19th-century colonial archways.
