Accommodations
The villas and suites located, in what have been former employee
accommodations for the elite of the hacienda staff, have been fully
restored and adapted to the hotel needs. A specific restoration
project had been developed to express its particular architectonic
personality by conserving the same spirit that its former and original
owners gave to it. Thus, in some cases, the restoration of buildings
brings together both contemporary and traditional aspects and the
new spaces and elements serve above all to highlight the artistic
and architectonic value of the haciendas original features. The
interior design of the guestrooms and public areas was done by the
well know Indonesian Arquitect Jaya Ibrahim giving this hacienda
it’s very unique touch. Of course you will find in this hacienda
as well the bulbous pegs set into the stone walls for hanging the
woven cotton hammocks, for which Campeche is famous, to allow our
guests sleep in the Mayan Style.

Hol Bé,
The Spa Of The Haciendas
Surrounded by dense tropical jungle and exotic wildlife this secluded
and beautifully restaured hacienda is possibly the most intimate
and exclusive atmosphere where guests are invited to distance themselves
from the outside world.
The term "Hol Bé" comes from the Mayan
language and translates as "Open Way or Opening the Way in the
forest" which sets the mood for the unique calming experience
within the Spa. Helping to preserve the ancient Mayan healing practices
of the Yucatan peninsula, a select group of the local Mayan therapists
have been carefully chosen to provide the special treatments and services
offered in the Spa. Several of the therapist’s ancestors were
authentic Mayan "Sobadores" or so called "bone
healers" and throughout generations handed down techniques and
treatments only found in the Mayan world. Their hands and magical
restorative spirit help to restore health, energy and beauty in a
holistic ambience.
Dedicated to pampering guests in a restful retreat in harmony with
nature, The Spas at The Haciendas are based on "high-touch,
low tech" concept that celebrates the human touch and use of
natural, often indigenous, spa products.
Special treatments:
- Maya Plan (A couples massages in the privacy of your room)
- Seaweed Wrap
- Mud Wrap
- Mayan Energy Massage.
- Mayan therapeutic massage

plan, an ancient Maya energizing treatment starting with a relaxing
