Three years ago, el meraki was born from our hearts – a place of peace, inspiration, and community on Isla Mujeres. Since then, we’ve been committed to keeping this vision alive. Especially now, in challenging times, we work as a team every day to find creative solutions that help el meraki stand on its own two feet.
Despite everything, we firmly believe that our concept contributes to the well-being of the island – perhaps on a small scale, but with real impact. And the feedback from our guests reminds us of this every day: they rave about the calm, the sense of slowing down, the service, the food and drinks, the events – and the good vibes they experience with us.
We want to take this moment to thank everyone who has supported us – through visits, kind words, sharing our story, or financial help. The past few months have been financially challenging. The last low season hit Isla Mujeres hard – some restaurants sadly had to close their doors. The fact that we’re still here is thanks to your support.
Our goal remains: to make el meraki financially sustainable. That’s proving to be more complex than expected – also due to external factors beyond our control.
Looking ahead, we’re committed to keeping el meraki open and growing. We’re planning new collaborations with other small local projects to expand our offerings and reach. There are also a few more ideas in the works – but we’ll share more on that in our next newsletter…
Thank you for being part of this journey.
Lots of love,
el meraki
