Today, Hacienda Petac stands as a beautifully restored private estate where historic architecture, expansive gardens, and refined modern comforts merge into a truly exceptional property.The estate unfolds across 31 hectares (77 acres) of lush tropical landscape. Majestic mature trees, quiet garden paths, ponds, and historic remnants of the hacienda’s agricultural past create an atmosphere of serenity rarely found so close to Mérida.At the heart of the estate lies the Casa Principal, a magnificent colonial structure with soaring ceilings, elegant arches, colorful pasta tile floors, and broad terraces that invite relaxed living and gathering. Beautifully restored interiors include formal and informal living areas, a large library, dining spaces, and a well-appointed kitchen designed for entertaining.Across the grounds, a collection of historic buildings has been restored with remarkable care and transformed into luxurious guest residences, allowing family and guests to enjoy privacy while remaining connected to the life of the estate.The property also features an impressive range of amenities rarely found within a private hacienda compound. A spectacular game salon occupies a former industrial building with dramatic ceiling heights, while a wellness and beauty village inspired by traditional Mayan architecture includes a gym, massage rooms, hydrotherapy features, and tranquil treatment spaces.Nearby, a large, heated swimming pool sits within a peaceful garden setting, surrounded by hammocks and shaded lounging areas.A beautifully restored historic chapel, open to the local village, adds both cultural significance and the possibility for intimate weddings and ceremonies.Complementing the estate is a fully equipped professional culinary academy kitchen, designed for cooking classes, culinary retreats, and private events.While Hacienda Petac has previously welcomed guests as an exclusive ultra-private retreat accommodating only one group at a time, its true strength lies in its versatility.
