A route of independent houses
Across the island, the village, the land, the walled city and the lagoon, five houses open different doors onto the Yucatán Peninsula. Each holds a story, an architecture and a way of welcoming guests. Choose where to stay, take time to discover its world and, if the journey carries you further, find another house along the way.
Houses
In geographical order, from the island in the north to the lagoon in the south.
Wake up facing the sea and let the island set the pace of the day.
Six rooms open to the sea in the village of Holbox. Natural materials, regional craftsmanship and work by artists from different countries give the house its character. Facing the horizon, afternoons drift by between the breeze and the island’s sandy streets.
A house returned to the present, a doorway into life in Espita.
An old casona (a large traditional house) in Espita, brought back after some thirty years of abandonment. Around it, rooms and terraces open onto a tropical garden. Stone, lime and a table of local flavors invite you to discover village life at an unhurried pace.
A former henequen plantation, at nature’s pace.
Five suites on a former henequen plantation in Seyé, within the Ring of Cenotes reserve. The architecture follows the lie of the land and opens different views onto the vegetation. Among terraces, light and birdsong, the landscape keeps you company through the day.
Campeche’s history, from the intimacy of a house.
Nine 18th-century casonas inside Campeche’s walled city, each to be enjoyed in its entirety. Courtyards and walls that hold their memory offer the intimacy of a home of your own. Step through the door and the streets and squares carry the encounter with history further.
To linger between the jungle and the colors of the water.
Six A-frame cabins beside the Bacalar lagoon, raised on stilts among the vegetation. From their terraces, the water shows different colors as the day goes by. A refuge for taking in the landscape, listening to your surroundings and finding time to stay a while.

Combine your trip
A single house can be the whole journey. If you would like to combine, two or three, with time in each, make another. A few suggested stages:
Holbox and Espita: from the Gulf sea to everyday life in a village of eastern Yucatán.
Seyé and Campeche: cenotes, haciendas and Maya villages, then a walled city to live in.
Bacalar as a stage in its own right, to combine with any of the others depending on where you arrive and leave from.
These are suggested stages, not itineraries. Travel times and the ferry to Holbox should be confirmed with each house and with the operators.
What we share
Behind each project are people and teams with a story of their own; each house page introduces them.
In Holbox, a village villa remade by its owners with local materials; in Espita, a casona brought back with stone, chukum (a traditional Yucatecan plaster) and lime; in Seyé, suites up high overlooking the treetops, and others set into the earth; in Campeche, restored historic houses; in Bacalar, cabins on stilts that ventilate like a chimney.
The island, the village, the land, the walled city and the lagoon: five landscapes of the peninsula, each with its house.
Personal hospitality, places with an identity of their own and the freedom to choose one house or several stages.
About us
Las Casas de la Península is a proposed route connecting independent hospitality projects across the peninsula. It is neither a chain nor an agency: there is no common operator, no shared pricing and no central booking. Each house keeps its name, its team and its own way of welcoming guests.
