In a tranquil setting, 45 minutes from Mérida, lies Viatura Hacienda Xtojil, a former henequen hacienda that has been transformed into a luxurious glamping site. Located in the town of Sotuta de Peón, Yucatán, this haven promises to reconnect visitors with nature while providing maximum comfort and exclusivity.
The property boasts 15 stylishly designed tents immersed in the lush lowland jungle and henequen fields of the region. Each tent features contemporary furniture and top-notch amenities, including tea makers, coffee makers, air conditioning, and spectacular views from king-size beds and showers through roller blinds. Imagine waking up to the sunrise with a cup of coffee and a book or taking a refreshing dip while surrounded by the soothing sounds of nature.
For those seeking an even more exclusive experience, Viatura Hacienda Xtojil offers five lavish Champagner Tents, each featuring a private terrace with a small pool perfect for soaking up the sunsets. The property’s meticulously restored main building is home to the restaurant, where guests can savor traditional Yucatecan cuisine and local delicacies, such as lime soup, poc chuc (marinated pork), and grilled Mayan octopus.
Beyond glamping, Viatura Hacienda Xtojil invites visitors to explore the surrounding area through various activities and excursions. Guests can embark on bike tours, visit three cenotes by buggy, or participate in expeditions to nearby sites like Mayapán (the last great Mayan capital) and Sisal (a haven for flamingo-watching). A movie night under the starry sky is also a must-experience, away from Mérida’s light pollution.
To ensure a seamless trip, Viatura Hacienda Xtojil offers customized tour packages that include accommodations in single or double occupancy tents, transportation to and from the airport, meals at the restaurant or on-site locations, and drinks at the bar. Guests can choose from various established tours and workshops, such as Aire (a two-day beekeeping experience), Fuego (flamingo watching), Agua (cenote exploration), or Tierra (hiking the Mayab Trail).
At Viatura Hacienda Xtojil, the boundaries between luxury and nature dissolve, offering an unparalleled glamping experience amidst ancient nooks and peaceful spaces. Prices start at $5,000 per person for a truly unforgettable stay in this corner of Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula.
