Habitas Bacalar

YOUR HOLISTIC OASIS ON THE LAGOON

Tucked away between a turquoise lagoon and the Mayan jungle, Habitas Bacalar draws its inspiration from its exceptional natural surroundings. Here, the awakening of the senses reigns supreme: wake up to a multicoloured sunrise over seven shades of blue, escape beneath the rustling shade of the palm trees, taste the power of plant-based cuisine, and let yourself be soothed by medicinal healing techniques infused with the scents of cacao and honey... The hotel consists of 35 rooms housed in charming A-frame chalets, offering peace and comfort, complete with an open-air bathroom. You can choose between sleeping overlooking the stunning lagoon and enjoying majestic sunrises, or staying in the heart of the lush vegetation to peacefully reconnect with nature. Habitas Bacalar invites its guests to immerse themselves in a travel philosophy where the balance between body and mind is essential. In Bacalar, you will find a multitude of experiences built around 6 pillars: Art and culture, Wellness, Adventure, Learning, Gastronomy, and Music. The cuisine at the Siete restaurant honours authentic yet sophisticated recipes made with local and seasonal ingredients, centred on the belief that healthy food is medicine. Stroll through the property's botanical garden and visit the cacao and melipona honey huts, a Mayan elixir with miraculous benefits. You will leave Habitas Bacalar feeling revitalised and soothed, thanks to the power of nature and Mayan traditions.
