history

Discover Hacienda Uxmal Plantation & Museum, which was once a hostel for travelers adventuring through the Yucatán during the 17th century.

Hacienda Uxmal Plantation & Museum was constructed during an era marked by global exploration that defined much of the 15th through the 17th centuries.

Boasting the title of the world’s oldest Hacienda Hotel, this historic resort was originally built on May 12, 1683 as a hostel for explorers, photographers, artists, scientists, and adventurers during their travels through the ancient town of Uxmal. The 19th century brought forth the restoration and consolidation of Yucatecan archeological digs, which the owners of this renowned location integrated into its design. The Hacienda Uxmal Plantation & Museum boasts a resident anthropologist, Enrique Valdes, who oversees Mayaland’s cultural and sustainable tourism effort. Today, the hotel is surrounded by fruit orchards and the remains of the original Hacienda Uxmal, ensuring stunning views filled with abundant history.
