Formerly a private retreat for Sir James Goldsmith, 30,000 acres of natural reserve have been transformed into the Cuixmala Retreat. Immerse yourself in nature, with palm groves and wild lagoons where wildlife roam freely throughout. It is a place that nurtures the soul and brings the body back to nature. Having been voted 2nd Best Hotel in Western Mexico Condé Nast Traveler READERS CHOICE AWARDS in 2018 and then also receiving a Condé Nast Traveler GOLD AWARD in the same year, this retreat has burst onto the luxury hotel scene. Not only a hotel, the reserve has 5,000 acres of bio-dynamic farm that supply the restaurants, three wild beaches that are privately owned, 270 different bird species, 26 horses and over 150 research projects. It is intimately connected to the land and how to look after it. The adventure is here, take sunset horse rides along the beach or kayak on the waters of Playa Caleta Blanca. A retreat is not complete without the commitment to wellness. Cuixmala offer a seven-day transformative retreat that is part of their annual signature wellness program. Led by international wellness specialists from across the globe, analysis is done on your physical, mental and emotional health to create a bespoke programme that will improve every aspect of your wellbeing.
