M E X I C O

executive summary by darmansjah

HACIENDA SANTA ROSA  This meticulously restored family-owned plantation house is located 44 miles south of the colonial city of Merida on the Yucatan Peninsula. Santa Rosa combines environmental stewardship with community projects such as directly supporting small-business development for local Maya women. Guests can spend time with village artisans; savor Maya recipes like chicken pibil, handed down through generations; swim in hidden cenotes; and sniff around an on-site botanic garden. In a nod to the hacienda’s former life as a center for the production of sisal, hand-woven hammocks encourage a long afternoon siesta. 11rooms; from $240.
