The culinary experience at Chablé Yucatán reflects Mexico’s timeless mastery of ingredients, contrast, beauty, and harmony at restaurants Ixi’m and Ki’ol. Both are led by one of Mexico’s top chefs, Jorge Vallejo, the mind behind the award-winning Quintonil in Mexico City.
Celebrating both land and sea, the dining scene takes guests on a journey of flavors and textures. From the delicious roast suckling pig with sweet potato purée, beet purée, and pickled carrots at Ixi’m to innovative desserts like the chocolate tamal with hazelnut ice cream, dulce de leche, and amaranth at Ki’ol, every dish awakens the senses and captures the palate.

With outdoor pools and therapeutic soaking tubs, the treatment suites create an unparalleled oasis of revitalization, where mind, body, and soul are invited into the present. Each therapy, inspired by ancestral techniques, is performed by experienced Mayan healers and wellness masters.
A standout is the Chablé Signature Ritual, a unique experience that begins in a cenote, harnessing the rejuvenating power of its waters, and ends with a deep-drainage massage that promotes internal healing and leaves you in a total state of peace.
