Atmospheric and romantic restored colonial villas scattered within the enchanting, overgrown grounds of a 300-year-old cattle ranch. An exquisitely luxurious rural property.

An exquisite rural hideaway, Hacienda Uayamon, a former cattle ranch was built in 1700 and nowadays offers guests a taste of a bygone age. Luxurious creature comforts have been added without compromising its original features.

The old central building has been beautifully restored and repainted using warm Mexican reds and yellows. 12 freestanding colonial-style villas are scattered within the hacienda grounds, lending a sense of space as you wander amongst overgrown ruins and ceiba trees to reach your own private retreat.

Rooms have huge, sumptuous bathrooms, oversized beds, an indoor plunge pool and a terrace with a double day-bed where you can while away lazy afternoons.  We adore the two suites, which also have an outdoor plunge pool and a small private garden.

Take advantage of the spa, or relax by the pool within what remains of a centuries-old warehouse, surrounded by atmospherically crumbling walls and columns that once supported the long-gone roof.

This is perhaps the most romantic of all the restored Mexican hacienda hotels, a unique and secluded place to stay with overwhelming historic character and charm.
