Enjoy
Life at a Historic Hacienda

Hacienda Petac
is a privately owned, 18th century hacienda situated approximately 30
minutes south of the Merida, Mexico airport near the small village of
Petac. Built upon the remains of a Mayan site, the rich history of Hacienda
Petac mirrors the evolution of the fascinating Yucatan region.
In its
current transformation, Hacienda Petac offers a tranquil environment
and luxury accommodations to select guests looking for the road less
traveled. Hacienda Petac is a private estate offering an intimate window
into the traditions of daily life on a Yucatecan hacienda. This is a
country home with modern amenities. If you do not wish to be awakened
by a rooster, we suggest you turn on the air conditioner and close the
windows.
While calling
Petac home, we hope you will take the opportunity to walk into the kitchen
and see what's for lunch. Would you like a lesson in the art of tortilla
making? Your cook will be happy to show you the secrets. Do you want
pancakes for breakfast or Poc Chuc? The pleasure is yours.

Explore the Petac Experience

The Casa
Principal has been restored to act as an anchor for the hacienda's daily
gatherings. Moorish arches, tiled porches and 18 foot ceilings welcome
guests into the home's main salon, dining room, kitchen, bar, library
and private chapel.
In a separate building guarded by a 60 foot chimney, the former henequen
factory, you will find two very large and distinctive private bedrooms,
with spacious baths and 24 foot ceilings.
The factory buildings continue with a 1,200 square foot game room and
lounge with pool table, ping-pong and other diversions. In an annex,
accessed through an arched passageway, is a third private bedroom suite
with a dramatic ceiling treatment, spectacular bathroom and an outdoor
dipping pool.
At the Mayordomo House, located near the swimming pool, the temptation
is to linger on the shady porch connecting these two tranquil bedrooms
- one with a surprising twist on a Yucatecan tradition.

Finally, tucked amid palm trees and ferns is the swimming pool designed
to allow for a relaxing day in the sun or a shaded nap in a hammock.
The waterfalls and lily ponds that accent the landscaped grounds provide
a cooling serenity to this 90 acre property. Add the sound of the Mot-Mot
birds and parrots that appear daily and you've discovered the Petac
experience.
