Project Overview
A fine scent of coffee is in the air. The day awakens, the sun kisses the skin. Time for a delicious, cozy and fresh breakfast, brunch or lunch. A place to meet, to enjoy, for body, mind and soul. For all those who feel at home in Isla Mujeres. We want to open spaces, create connection and make everything a little differently. Fair, honest, simple, human - lived and not just said.

Isla Mujeres is a small Caribbean island located just off Cancun, Mexico. With about 15,000 inhabitants and many tourists, there is a multicultural community here.
We have been fascinated by this island for years and feel very connected and comfortable here. In the past years we were able to make many friends and being touched by the diversity and abundance of this place.
With "el meraki" we would like to express our gratitude to Isla Mujeres and contribute something to this beauty and diversity.

Co-Creator I Project Manager
I love cooking good soul food and enjoying it with all my senses. I have felt right at home on Isla Mujeres for years and am fascinated by the many talented people who live there and visit the island. My professional background is in project management in the non-profit sector and I am a yoga teacher and coach. I am passionate about helping people discover and develop their unique qualities so they can go through life more satisfied and fulfilled.

In that magical moment of an afternoon on the island, our heart project was born. I can hardly express how much love, gratitude, joy, inspiration and transformation, abundance and learning the project "el meraki" means to me.
Fine, delicious food, the enjoyment and combination of tastes, food from other continents have fascinated me since childhood.
Open-minded, humorous, emotional and inquisitive, equipped with good analytical skills, I dedicated myself for a long time in Switzerland to administration and support/improvement of work processes as well as customer service. Gradually I have changed my focus to accompanying people and supporting them to unfold their potential, to spread their wings.
This project gives me the opportunity to put all these facets into practice with a lot of love and mindfulness.
