Dress code

Garden / Hacienda Formal

A warm December evening in the Yucatán — around 25–27 °C at sunset, cooler after 10. Breathable fabrics and earth tones will make you the best-dressed and most comfortable person in the room.

For women

  • Long flowy dress in a warm earth tone (terracotta, ochre, sand, olive, cream)
  • Midi dress + block heels or wedges (stone + grass underfoot)
  • Lightweight linen or silk blend
  • A wrap or shawl for the cooler night air

For men

  • Linen or lightweight suit in cream, tan, sand, or muted blue
  • Open-collar shirt or lightweight tie — no heavy wool
  • Leather loafers or dress boots (not brand-new; you'll walk on stone)
  • Optional guayabera (very hacienda-appropriate)

Please, no…

  • White or ivory dresses (please, no) or anything that reads bridal
  • Stilettos — the courtyards are stone and gravel
  • Heavy dark wool suits — you will melt
  • Beach flip-flops or casual sneakers
