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:

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.
