Farm & Animals
A Working Farm, Not a Prop
A working plantation of Khalas date palms and a mini zoo of resident ranch animals sit at the heart of the estate — everything else, from villas to weddings, grew up around them.

The Plantation
Where the Date Palms Started It All
In 2000 the family planted the estate's first Khalas date palms, defying the common belief that they couldn't thrive in the region. The trees took hold, the plantation grew, and by 2018 they were bearing clusters of organic dates.
The palms are still the backbone of Rancho Blanco. Villas, venues, and the mini zoo were all built among them.
