Ruins of the edifices of the mysterious Mayan empire, where stone temples and pyramids pierce the forest canopy, are scattered all over Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. Base yourself at two superb colonial properties, conveniently located a short drive from the principal sites and graceful Spanish towns.

Temozón is an elegant hacienda, refurbished to its original glory. You can recline on the velvety lawns, swim in a gorgeous pool or play a game of tennis.

At Puerta Campeche a selection of 17th century houses have been meticulously restored to recreate the unhurried lifestyle of the period. Campeche is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an interesting fortified colonial port. There are pre-Columbian sites and lovely beaches not far away.
