MAHAKUA-Hacienda de San Antonio (meaning 'great community') is an elegantly restored, 19th Century casa grande. It was originally built by German planter Arnoldo Vogel and his Mexican wife, Clotilde Quevedo de Vogel. The resort is set in manicured grounds and looks onto a spectacular active volcano. A large working aqueduct provides year-round water for the formal gardens inspired by Spain's famed Alhambra Palace where, along with fig and cypress trees are garden plants like the blue agave, from which tequila is made.
The Hacienda occupies a generous 470 acres within a 5,000 acre working ranch that includes an organic farm and coffee plantation. It is tucked away in the high country of Western Mexico, about 200km. south of Guadalajara. Between Mahakua-Hacienda de San Antonio and Colima, the state capital, lies several traditional villages.

On the sprawling grounds, guests will at every turn find opportunities to savour life on a great Mexican estate. With the range of experiences available, guests will not need to leave the estate should they simply wish to pursue total relaxation in-house. Options include riding through scenic countryside, touring the estate and its classical gardens, visiting traditional villages, bird-watching or extended nature walks along undisturbed paths.
San Antonio Chapel: Built on thanksgiving early last century after the Hacienda was miraculously spared from a volcanic eruption, the chapel has been completely restored. It is still used by outlying villages during festivals and can seat up to 60 persons in its wooden pews.
Mirador Room: This cosy lounge on the Roof Terrace with its large armchairs and divans is another relaxed setting for board games or satellite TV.
Library: The library stocks rare volumes on the arts of Mexico. Social, political and cultural histories, as well as fiction and magazines, are available. Library CDs range from classical and popular Mexican music to jazz and pop.
Gallery: More than a gift shop, the Gallery also serves as a romantic setting for dining in the evenings in front of the volcanic stone fireplace. Artefacts of the region, including textiles, ceramics and jewellery, are available.
Corral and Amphitheatre: The Hacienda's own corral can host a charreada, often described as a Mexican rodeo where performances focus on extreme horsemanship. While not a house event at the Hacienda, a charreada can be arranged from a nearby town. The amphitheatre is like a Greek miniature theatre with volcanic rock steps leading to a stage. Performances of music and drama can be held here.
Régimen de fumadores: Smoking not permitted in the suites. Smoking is only permitted in public areas.
Tarjetas de crédito aceptadas: American Express, Diners, Mastercard, Visa.
Período de cierre del restaurante: Open all year.
