A lifelong project by the Spanish-Mexican architect Pelayo Berenguer, La Armonía was completed in 2014. It was conceived as a place to unite the Berenguer family in Uayma, the epicenter of the historic Yucatán Peninsula.
The design of the villas was informed by the colonial architecture found in Valladolid, a “Magic Town” located just fifteen minutes away. The villas utilize traditional construction methods with a contemporary aesthetic and passive cooling techniques to unite past and present in a stunning, tropical environment.
La Armonía finds itself in the charming village of Uayma. While small, peaceful Uayma was chosen by the architect because of its history and culture. The town was a site of religious importance to the Maya. When the Spanish arrived they constructed its famous church of Santo Domingo out of material from nearby archaeological sites, including Chichen Itza. Further down in history, Uayma became an important stop on the trans-peninsular journey across the Yucatán. The train tracks lacing the town are a reminder of this. Today, several township-wide fairs ranging from the Festival of the Holy Cross to the Feast of San Isidro Labrador occur throughout the year to create a lively central plaza.
La Armonía is a harmonious combination of art, experiences, and nature, choreographed by its master architect. Today, it is cared for by his family.
We look forward to your stay,
