A nature reserve of more than 30,000 acres, originally the private retreat for Sir James Goldsmith and his family, now open to discerning travelers from around the world.

Book

Running alongside 5km of pristine Mexican Pacific coastline, Cuixmala is an extraordinary haven, a luxury eco-resort where the boundaries separating humankind from nature are dissolved. Lush jungle and coconut palm groves roll into sweeping savannahs and lagoons, where protected wildlife, from zebras to crocodiles, roam free. Sensitively interwoven with the natural landscape, terracotta dwellings emerge from a sea of green, acting as beacons guiding guests through the property.
