Hacienda Kaua
Guests roll past centuries-old stone archways and into a courtyard shaded by tamarind trees, the kind of arrival that gets pulled up on phones months later.
About Hacienda Kaua
Guests roll past centuries-old stone archways and into a courtyard shaded by tamarind trees, the kind of arrival that gets pulled up on phones months later.
Hacienda Kaua, a restored hacienda-turned-hotel outside Mérida, keeps the patina of its 19th-century origins while running a modern hotel operation underneath, so guests check into air-conditioned rooms after dancing until 1am under the open sky.
The 4.6-star rating reflects a property that's been hosting events long enough to know how to move 150 people from ceremony to cocktail hour without anyone noticing the logistics.

Questions about the venue
Can guests stay overnight at Hacienda Kaua?+
Yes. It operates as a working hotel with rooms on the property, so wedding guests can book directly on-site instead of arranging transport to a separate hotel.
How far is Hacienda Kaua from Mérida?+
The venue sits in San Antonio Kaua, about a 20 to 25 minute drive from central Mérida, making it accessible for both local guests and those flying in.
Does the venue handle both ceremony and reception?+
Hacienda Kaua's courtyard and garden areas are set up to host ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception in sequence on the same grounds, which cuts down on guest transfers during the day.
Is this a good fit for destination weddings with international guests?+
The on-site lodging, hacienda architecture, and proximity to Mérida's airport make it a practical choice for couples flying in guests from outside Mexico.
