Resort facilities

Serving individuals, couples, families and groups who seek an alternative to huge resort hotels, Rancho Encantado provides a tropical haven for ecologically-minded, culturally-curious travelers, and for archaeological excursions, birding, lakeside tranquillity and beautiful private casitas.
The Spa
Now, let the healing qualities of Laguna Bacalar touch you even more deeply as you experience our newly created spa facility. After a day of trekking through the jungle exploring nearly unknown Mayan sites or swimming and kayaking on the lake, relax in our Jacuzzi under the stars, surrounded by night-blooming jasmine. Sign up for a massage from our expert therapist in a thatched massage hut over the water. Allow this magical place to give to you fully its gifts of rest, renewal and transformation.
