A private oasis hidden in La Ermita, Merida Centro. Enter through Calle Ouvert Gallery, pass under the Mayan Arch that opens to an artistic, sculptural garden. The organic architecture is reminiscent of Gaudi's with a sensual, feminine feeling. Besides the incredible beauty of the structures, the large garden has many fruit trees, a large swimming pool, a koi pond a fountain all formed in curves. This is a Natural space, no television. A different kind of lux, beautiful food for the soul. We have 3 friendly dogs that may bark at you when they first meet you, but afterwards they will welcome you.

Beth and David have built a paradise in Merida. Beth was born in Hawaii, grew up in NYC and lived in the Hudson Valley. She worked designing homes and was a professional ice skater. She has always been an artiest and has a painting and ceramics studio. David was born in Jamaica, grew up in Toronto and moved to NYC at the age of 18. He was a principle dancer with the Martha Graham Dance Company and toured over 60 countries with his own company. David's passion is a system called Body Re-code in which he works with people with injuries in his pilates/gyrotonic studio. Together they co-direct the art gallery called Calle Ouvert.

We are in between La Ermita and San Juan, in the middle of the old part of Merida. The neighborhood is evolving quickly. there are many artists studios, several new galleries, a vegan restaurant, a fancy hotel and restaurant, a great cafe with the best coffee in Merida and much more. You can walk to the main plaza in under 10 minutes.
