Hacienda Xcanatun Angsana Heritage Collection is one of the top luxury boutique hotels in the Yucatan.
Located a short 25 minute drive from the hustle and bustle of Merida, it’s uniquely the only Angsana Hotel in Mexico.
Nestled amongst 4 acres of private gardens, the property has been restored to its 18th-century grandeur, making it one of the most iconic henequen (sisal) haciendas in the Yucatan.
This upscale all-suite boutique hotel features 54 accommodation options, including 18 historic suites that fuse contemporary details with local touches, along with 36 brand-new spacious suites.
We’re big fans of Banyan Tree, an award-winning hotel group that includes Angsana, a brand that focuses on creating vibrant, locally-inspired experiences including cultural immersion and contemporary design. After visiting the jaw-dropping Angsana Corfu in Greece I was excited to experience the brand in Mexican paradise.
Before booking your next trip to Mexico, here are a list of highlights that make Angsana Hacienda Xcanatun in Merida stand out from the rest:
- Originally an 18th‑century henequén (sisal) Hacienda, fully restored and transformed into a beautiful heritage resort blending colonial grandeur with contemporary design.
- The grounds offer abundant native plants and invite wildlife sightings, from iguanas to colourful tropical birds, even coatis racoons roaming the gardens.
- Suite amenities include premium Egyptian‑cotton linens, minibar, spacious bathrooms, garden or pool views, and tasteful décor that reflects local heritage.
- Angsana Spa is located over a reflecting pond surrounded by gardens. The menu offers signature treatments rooted in Asian‑Thai traditions using aromatic oils, body polishes, massages, and facials tailored to rejuvenate.
- Wellness experiences also include guided yoga sessions, meditation, and wellness programming set in a lush natural environment.
- Casa de Piedra Restaurant serves signature Yucatan cuisine with contemporary techniques in a beautifully restored hacienda building complemented by garden terraces.
- Lol‑Ha Pool Club sits adjacent to the Olympic‑sized pool, offering a casual poolside menu and thirst-quenching cocktails. Best enjoyed at lunch after a refreshing dip while sitting in the shade of a breezy cabana.
