At a glance

We’ve carefully selected secluded destinations known for their natural beauty and with minimal travelling in between, so you can really switch off, relax and not have to think about anything.

The hotels have been handpicked for their comfort, character, spas and wellness activities. Beginning with Xixim tucked away on a deserted beach in the Celestun Biosphere for three nights, you then head inland to stay at the utterly charming Coqui Coqui perfumery and hotel to explore the region’s Mayan Ruins and Cenotes before four wonderful nights on the island hideaway of Holbox being looked after by the wonderful staff of the Casa Sandra boutique hotel.

Private tour of Ek Balam Private tour of Ek Balam

Your guide will collect from your hotel to enjoy a private tour to visit the fantastic and little-understood settlement of Ek Balam. Virtually unknown until a few years ago, this Mayan center, whose name translates to "Black Jaguar," appears to have been established as early 600 BC and maintained a population until about 1600 AD. Restoration began in earnest in the mid-1990s and the excavated structures with stuccos have yielded much improved understanding of the Mayan culture that
once flourished here. During a privately guided tour, your expert local guide will show you the ball court and temples, including the great Acropolís, with winged human figures and a jaguar mouth entrance to what may have been the 9th Century King Ukit-Kan-Lek-Tok's tomb.
