Habitas Bacalar

This oasis of a hotel rests by the crystalline waters of Bacalar Lagoon, situated in the southern reaches of Quintana Roo. Enjoy a calming and restorative stay, gazing out to the mesmerizing blue hues of the laguna or wandering through tropical jungle palms.

Just 30 minutes from Chetumal Airport, Habitas Bacalar is a dreamy escape into nature where guests can disconnect and recharge.

The hotel’s eco-sustainable design peacefully weaves into its surroundings of greenery, mangroves and the celebrated seven blues of the lagoon. A-frame tented accommodations with palapa roofs feel private and cozy, with sophisticated interiors. The earthy and elegant style runs through the spa and wellness area, communal gathering space, and Siete restaurant with its open-air kitchen and al fresco dining options.

Habitas Bacalar offers 34 tranquil rooms with private, open-air terraces, inviting guests to make a connection with the enveloping nature. Some look out to the stunning laguna, with more options tucked into verdant jungle, or pitched between mangrove and lagoon views. Comfy beds and air conditioning provide a restful night’s sleep.

With the ethos that food is medicine, Siete restaurant uses seasonal, hand-selected ingredients from local farms. The breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are consciously prepared with a focus on wellness, while honoring Mayan cooking traditions. The hotel’s rooftop bar is perfect for sipping a cocktail as the sun goes down.

Guests can start the day shining with sunrise paddleboard yoga, take a dip in the crystal lagoon, or unwind with a spa treatment that uses local ingredients like cacao and melipona honey. Activities are centred on the water, with chances to explore by kayak, free-diving and catamaran.
