Betts Creative Spaces, Mérida, Yucatan, Mexico
I first traveled to Mérida as a child in the early 1970's. The trip left an indelible memory of the city and the culture, especially a day trip to the ancient ruins at Uxmal. I vividly remember the colors of the city, the smells and sights of the market and the kindness and warmth of the people. In 2016 I traveled back to Mérida for the first time since I was a child. I was again impressed by the city and now as an adult, wanted to spend time there and immerse myself in the culture. In 2017 I began buying and redeveloping colonial homes and today, one of these homes is available on Airbnb:

Casa Luna Llena is a newly restored luxury villa designed by an international artist working in collaboration with a local architect. Two blocks from the Santiago market and square, this colonial has two en suite bedrooms opening into an arched courtyard with a private pool and outdoor dining area just off the gourmet kitchen. Indoors there is a comfortable living room, eat in kitchen and gracious dining room. Full Air Conditioning, sound system, Fast WiFi, Cable TV.
My travels through the Yucatan continue to inspire me and have resulted in a recent exhibition in Dallas Texas of paintings from the Yucatan. See and read more about these works Here.
In mid 2025 we will be launching a new property in the beach town of Chuberna on the Yucatan coast.
