A New Kind Of Country Living

Wake up to the sound of horses. Walk barefoot through your land. Enjoy chef-prepared meals and wellness treatments steps from your terrace.
Private Residences offer all the intimacy of a private home with access to five-star experiences on a working farm — cacao plantations, forest trails, equestrian facilities, rivers, and a world-class culinary and wellness program.

Features & Amenities

Thoughtfully designed spaces and comforts that bring together understated luxury, functionality, and a deep connection to the natural surroundings. Residents enjoy exclusive access to private areas, including two swimming lakes with their own social spaces, wild parks for children, as well as forests and trails. In addition, they have full access to over 500 hectares of Hacienda La Danesa, including the Wellness Center, restaurant, bar, and all hotel amenities.

Onsite Experiences

A curated collection of activities that immerse you in the rhythms of the farm — from horseback riding and biking trails to lazy river tubing, chocolate making, and more, each designed to connect you with the land in a meaningful way.

Design Philosophy

An approach rooted in authenticity, craftsmanship, and simplicity, where every detail reflects the character of the land and the spirit of Hacienda La Danesa. Architectural guidelines are thoughtfully upheld to ensure harmony, consistency, and a timeless sense of place across all residences.

Location
