Address


Rating : ★★★★★


Hacienda San Antonio stands as a dreamlike oasis amidst awe-inspiring nature, on 4,500 immaculate hectares of tropical vegetation. For those seeking a respite and wellness for both body and mind, it guarantees a moment of disconnect in a setting where Mexican traditional architecture and the lush backdrop of volcanoes converge. Located within an ancient volcanic crater in Colima, Mexico, guests can gaze upon the active El Fuego volcan and its dormant neighbor, reveling in the fertile lands and lush forests that define this Edenic garden. Just walking from the Hacienda to its swimming pool, down the river valley, or simply meandering within the Hacienda, wandering beneath the columns that encircle the courtyards filled with trees, flowers, and plants, serves as an invitation to relaxation.
