Created by Sir James Goldsmith, knighted for his services to ecology, the once private estate is now open as a destination for discerning travelers. Cuixmala is located on Mexico’s breathtaking Pacific Coast, in the state of Jalisco, about two hours from Puerto Vallarta. Río Cuixmala courses along its southern border, from its northern boundary, vast hills look out over the coconut plantation towards the Pacific Ocean, and to the east, bamboo groves and mango trees number in their thousands.

With only 9 casitas and 4 private villas, you will feel isolated from the world with ultimate luxury at your service. For a change of scenery, charter the hotel’s sailboat for a trip to the nearby Chamela Bay islands nature preserve.
