“The hacienda sits on a 4,500-acre ranch and has direct views of the Colima Volcano; its pink exterior gives way to 23 rooms.”

The colonial coffee plantation offers a slice of Mexican luxury you don't find elsewhere, with Jaguar basalt stone carved canals…
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Surrounding cloud forests and ranch trails fill the five-thousand-acre private estate beneath the slopes of Volcán de Fuego.
The rooms
Suites feature wood-burning fireplaces, volcanic stone accents, bold Mexican textiles, and private terraces opening toward gardens or volcano ridges.
The pool and spa
Bring a swimsuit.
The 110-foot freshwater pool looks up at the volcano, and massage tables sit before glowing fireplaces.
Tennis and yoga
Guests can play tennis among estate trees or practice guided yoga in the terraced stone amphitheater.
Restaurant
Main Dining Room
A grand wooden chandelier hangs beneath arched brick vaults, where dinners feature roasted meats and organic ranch produce.
At the table
Estate-grown coffee is poured under a bamboo pavilion facing the volcano, and terrace loggias overlook manicured garden hedges.
How it began
Founded as a coffee plantation in the late nineteenth century, the estate added its chapel after surviving a 1913 volcanic eruption.
