Hacienda Palancar

The roads in Sian Ka'an are unpaved and therefore distances and times may vary depending on the season and road quality and conditions.

Enter an enchanting estate perched on the edge of the Caribbean Sea, on Mexico’s mystical Yucatan Peninsula with miles of secluded white sand beach. Here, the only people you encounter are those you have invited. Feel the cool breeze as you relax in the shade of a thousand coconut palms. Awaken your senses with a swim in the calm, azure water, or seek the adventure of a deep-sea fishing expedition. Enjoy the wildlife and beauty of a lush and peaceful tropical forest.

Hacienda Palancar is located in the Yucatan Peninsula on the coast of Quintana Roo, Mexico, only a 40-minute drive south of Tulum’s top beach clubs such as Nomade and Be Tulum, along the same road as the boho-chic hotel zone. The 86-acre estate lies between the Capechen Lagoon and the Caribbean Sea in the heart of the one million acres Sian Ka’an Nature Reserve, a protected UNESCO World Heritage Site. The estate can be reached by air, car, and/or helicopter. It is a 3-hour drive from Cancun Airport or a 40-minute flight by helicopter.

On the 86-acre estate, the wild meets the refined. Enjoy utter serenity as you’re surrounded by nearly 1 kilometre of private white sand beach, lagoon, and mystic forest. Fully equipped and completely turnkey; all furniture, boats, and kitchen appliances are available to you during your stay. Palancar is fully self-sustaining and energy-efficient. Underground cisterns fed by rainwater provide filtered potable and reusable water; the largest array of solar panels in private hands in Mexico provide clean energy.

Masterfully built, Hacienda Palancar offers unparalleled luxury and state-of-the-art amenities. Balance the feeling of living on a private island, with every benefit and comfort of home, including easy accessibility from anywhere and the convenience of a helipad. Feel the timeless spirit of Spanish Colonial design in Hacienda Palancar’s strong design and stunning architecture. Named after the second-largest coral reef in the world, Palancar took six years of meticulous planning and two years of painstaking construction, completed in 2009.

Enjoy true outdoor living with Hacienda Palancar’s grand miradors. Inspired by Islamic architecture, these graceful rooftops traverse the length of the buildings. Here you can entertain. Dine or relax under the stars with guests. One of Palancar’s most elegant features is its sweeping, wraparound verandas, which connect each of the property’s five buildings. Featuring stone floors quarried in the Yucatan and graceful arches, these elegant verandas offer tranquil indoor/outdoor living and relaxation.
