On the northwestern coast of Yucatán, where the sea gently kisses white sands and flamingos grace the skies, Casa Ingo stands as an architectural gem that redefines beachfront luxury. Located in the charming fishing village of Sisal, officially recognised as a Pueblo Mágico, this villa offers a unique experience where elegance, history, and nature converge.
Sisal: A Town Steeped in History and Charm
The name Sisal, derived from the Mayan language, means “place where the cold is heavy or penetrating.” In the 19th century, Sisal was the main export port for henequen, known as Yucatán’s “green gold.” This economic boom drew historic figures, including Empress Carlota of Mexico, who disembarked on its shores in 1865. Today, Sisal preserves its quiet essence and rich heritage, offering visitors a perfect mix of culture and natural beauty.
Architecture That Embraces Nature
Casa Ingo is a masterpiece of minimalist Yucatecan design. Built with chukum, a traditional stucco-like finish prized for its coolness and durability, the villa features clean lines and open spaces that flow harmoniously with the natural surroundings. Every corner is thoughtfully curated, from its handcrafted furniture to the warmth of natural materials that evoke a sense of refined simplicity.
Comfort and Unique Experiences
The villa offers two beautifully appointed bedrooms with bohemian touches, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room, a sea-view terrace, and a private pool surrounded by sun loungers and hammocks.
