Time Travel to a Place of Peace and Relaxation

Introduction

Located within a still-active sugar cane farm, Hacienda El Carmen is a serene retreat just an hour from Guadalajara. More than just a getaway, this historic estate transports visitors back in time with its colonial charm, antique-filled rooms, and rustic elegance.

While not a traditional wellness hotel, the hacienda offers a soulful escape, inviting guests to embrace a slower, more mindful way of life.

 

The true heart of the estate is owner Monica, who runs it with passion and determination, supported by a devoted team that ensures every guest feels at home. This is a place where the past whispers through every stone and the present unfolds with grace and tranquility.

Wellness Options:

Hacienda El Carmen is a place of deep relaxation, where healing takes on many forms. At the core of its wellness experience is the Temazcal, an ancient Aztec purification ritual led by local shamans. This sacred ceremony detoxifies the body, resets energy flows, and fosters spiritual renewal. The estate’s tranquil spa, located beside a peaceful man-made lake, offers an oasis of calm for every treatment.

For physical relaxation, guests can indulge in a North Indian Hot Stone Massage, where warm obsidian stones glide over tense muscles, melting away stress and promoting deep sleep.

Beyond the spa, the hacienda’s natural surroundings play an essential role in the healing experience. Horses, donkeys, and other animals create a profound connection with nature, offering a grounding and restorative presence. Expansive grassy areas and rooftop spaces provide ample room for group yoga sessions, meditation, and wellness activities, making it an ideal retreat for those seeking balance and renewal.

Food

Hacienda El Carmen takes a holistic approach to nourishment, offering farm-to-table cuisine that celebrates both tradition and freshness. The estate grows its own vegetables, ensuring that every meal is prepared with the purest ingredients.

While the kitchen specializes in authentic Mexican dishes, it is also highly flexible, adapting meals to meet individual dietary needs.

Adding to the rich culinary experience is the hacienda’s small-batch rum distillery, where one of Mexico’s finest rums is crafted in limited quantities. This handcrafted spirit is a testament to the estate’s dedication to artisanal excellence, making meals at Hacienda El Carmen not just nourishing but truly memorable.

Location

Just an hour from Guadalajara, Hacienda El Carmen is a hidden gem easily reached by a scenic drive through the countryside. Beyond its personal wellness offerings, the hacienda also embodies a deeper sense of healing through community service.

Every year, it hosts medical outreach programs, providing dental care, optometry services, and breast cancer screenings for the local population. This commitment to giving back makes Hacienda El Carmen more than just a retreat—it is a true place of healing, where restoration extends beyond the individual to the greater community.
