With the sleek architectural lines this escape constructed of hardwoods, limestone and polished plaster is set in two acres of lush green lawn. From the calm water lily reflecting pool one side to the infinity pool on the other at dusk with the Fireflies it is like an optical fibre illumination. As one guest described it ..."impossible to put into words ... luxury self-catering property perfect for relaxation and escapism"...

The Escape
If you are looking for privacy this contemporary home is set within a 2 acre garden and is enclosed by the haciendas original 10-foot wall creating your own private world! Walk out of the living area on one side and you will find a terrace with a 30 foot lily pool and to the other side a wonderful infinity swimming pool terrace and palapa [for those moments to kick back in the shade].
If you can tear yourself away from this idyllic private world Mérida is a vibrant and cultural city, surrounded by an abundance of beautiful colonial buildings, museums, art galleries, restaurants, and shops. THE Plantation is also perfectly situated within 30 minutes of many historical Mayan sites, including Chichen Itza which has just been named one of the modern Seven Wonders of the World!
Getting about - there are taxis available from Mérida airport to THE Plantation. There are also tour and transportation services that you can hire but having a car and being independent is part of the experience! We are located amidst an array of cenotes, convents and ruins and getting from sight to sight is not difficult by car.
Time Zone - Central Time (GMT -06:00) - the same as Chicago, Minneapolis and Houston
THE help if need be -.The housekeeper will make the beds, clean the house, do the dishes daily and change the bed linen every 3 days and the pool is cleaned daily. This is to assist you to help make your time at THE Plantation more pleasurable. For additional services such as laundry or cooking these are available for an extra charge and should be discussed with us prior to your visit.
Buying food - if buying groceries in Mérida at one of the large chain grocery stores the vegetables and meats are very good quality and there is a market in the town one mile away where you can purchase other items.
Tap water - this is NOT for drinking but there is purified water coolers in the kitchen for guests use [also purified ice cubes can be purchased locally]. Purified water decanters are provided in all the bathrooms daily.
Safety - Yucatecos are gentle, respectful people and the city of Mérida is removed from the violence of Northern Mexico. The villages outside the city are quiet, small and peaceful the Yucatan.
Words can not describe the luxury and relaxation that is awaiting you at THE RANCH
I went on a girls trip to Merida and this home exceeded our expectations. The property and accommodations were exceptional. The home is beautiful and well maintained with secret treasures all over the property. After spending the day sipping margaritas by the pool we would move to the roof where we could watch the sunset or out onto the lush property to watch the fireflies flicker with breath-taking beauty. I highly recommend this property - you will have an unforgettable experience!
Bailey - Boulder, USA - THE RANCH
THE PLANTATION is an architectural masterpiece and without doubt the most incredible place we ever imagined staying! Amazingly when we arrived it was even more astounding than we thought possible. Everything about the property and gardens was completely effortless. Everything was where you wanted it to be if you had designed it specifically for yourself! The kitchen, sunken lounge area, pool, bedrooms and huge open windows all set off by the elegant and stylish furnishings. Around every corner is another interesting view or stunning vista. This alone would have made our honeymoon stay unforgettable. However, we also had the incredible service and attention from the the owner and the ladies and gentlemen who prepared our food, kept the house spotless and the gardens effortlessly manicured. The location is also perfect for exploring the area, though, once you arrive it is almost impossible to leave the house. Finally I actually cannot believe the incredible value of it. We have paid 4 or 5 times this to stay in places that will not hold such as happy place in our heart.

Best vacation ever
We had the absolute best vacation at this gorgeous property. Everything was perfect. I have rented many many houses and villas over the years and by far, was the most responsive and considerate of all that I have rented. Arranged for daily cleaning and a chef to come twice. The experience could not have been better and the house is even better than it looks in the pictures. Its a gorgeous, magazine-spread-worthy home. As a Senior Vice President at The New York Times i have travelled the world and was seriously impressed, we cant wait to return!
