About the host

Hosted by Richard Nichols

Host profile image

After successful careers in London, Lena and Richard happened to spend a few nights in a Yucatan hacienda whilst on holiday in Mexico. Charmed by the experience, they soon decided to buy one themselves, and so began an adventure that has lasted to this day.

Dzibikak, the hacienda they finally settled on, was a long-abandoned, heavily overgrown ruin when they found it. The restoration process took six years, and throughout they were careful to maintain the architectural integrity of the original design, combining it with state-of-the-art mod-cons that all discerning travelers demand.

Since its completion, the hacienda has served as a holiday rental, a venue for weddings and other events, a backdrop for countless photoshoots and as a family home.

Why they chose this property

The Nichols chose this property for a wide variety of reasons.

First and foremost, its location close Merida, means that it is a practical place to stay with easy access to restaurants, shops, hospitals and all the other facilities and amenities the city offers.

Of equal importance is the hacienda´s proximity to the charming and unspoiled beaches of Sisal and Celestun, to the ruins of Uxmal, and to some of the state´s prettiest cenotes.

Last but not least, they were attracted to the hacienda´s long history (there are the remains of an ancient pyramid in the back garden), its architectural splendor, its wide open spaces and its potential as a world-class destination for the more discerning traveler.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many restored haciendas, Dzibikak has served as a family home. This means it has that despite its large size it has a lovely, lived-in feeling that too many holiday rentals lack. The public spaces are all individually and stylishly decorated according to different themes, there are hundreds of unique antiques from the Yucatan and around the world, and all sorts of different toys and games to keep the family entertained.
