Contemporary first-world luxury and ancestral traditions and vibes converge at Chablé Yucatán, Mérida’s extraordinary hotel, winner of the 2017 Prix Versailles Award for ‘Best Hotel in the World’, which has put itself on the map for an unforgettable vacation.
Encompassing all earthly paradisiacal aspects, Chablé is the ideal retreat site for a blissful getaway of luxury, calm and comfort. In this former hacienda converge the natural jungle splendor of the area, the heritages of Mayan tradition and colonial architecture, and luxurious modern amenities. Located 25 minutes from Merida’s international airport, this magnificent destination boasts a 750-acre estate that is home to 40 villas and casitas, where guests can rejoice in the privacy of their own pool, terrace and outdoor shower. Each room, designed by renowned interior designer Paulina Moran, features meticulous attention to detail with the finest locally sourced materials, where spacious and elegant areas ensure total enjoyment of the wonderful surroundings.

Adding to the idyllic experience of a visit to Chablé Yucatán is the culinary prowess. The palate is delighted by the fusion of traditional Mayan gastronomy and the contemporary vision and technique of Chef Jorge Vallejo, with each dish created from fresh local produce and scrupulously presented. Whether it’s a romantic dinner as a couple, a contented meal with friends, or an intimate family lunch, it’s imperative to take advantage of the exquisite flavors of the Mexican southeast. Food tastes even better surrounded by the dazzling architecture of the places where it is served, where restaurants such as Ixi’im (led by chef Luis Ronzón and featuring the world’s largest tequila collection) and Ki’ol, located next to the main pool, set the dining experience concept high.
Wellness takes a different approach when it comes to Chablé Yucatán. In the search for healing (internal or corporal), a variety of services are offered, ranging from herbal treatments, meditation sessions, complete spa and beauty salon services, and ancient ceremonies such as temazcal. But if doing yoga in front of the cenote that is within the hotel’s territory results in an excess of peace and tranquility, it is possible to glimpse from the facilities of a first class gym, or enjoy the exclusive golf course contemplating its natural landscapes. After the relaxation provided by a massage, the tour -either on foot or by bicycle- can continue through the multiple amenities that Chablé offers, from a visit to the Main House and its library, having a drink or tasting a good cigar at the fascinating Sikar bar, or walking through Ka’anche’s – agricultural tradition that consists of sowing, harvesting and consuming fresh vegetables, herbs and fruits-, the huge traditional Mayan garden of the territory. If you are lucky, you may encounter a happy family of deer that embellish the hotel’s natural spaces.
