Forget the description that a "dream hotel" that used for some hotels. Because none of them can be such a dream as much as Cuixmala in Mexico. This is due to a variety of factors, so let's start at the beginning. To begin with, Cuixmala is located in a vast area. There is a five-kilometer coastline facing the Pacific Ocean. Additionally, it has a magnificent 30,000-acre nature reserve that is home to 12,000 plant species and a wide variety of animals, including zebras.

Within the vast grounds, the hotel is naturally divided into various areas: Casa Cuixmala with suites and bungalows, Casas with three private villas (Casa Alborada, Casa La Playa, Casa Torre) and Casitas with a modern version of ten charming traditional Mexican houses with ocean views with different bed capacities.

THE TURBULENT LIFE BEHIND HYBRID ARCHITECTURE

Cuixmala, a rich blend of Mexican, European and Moroccan architecture, has this hybrid design for a reason. This was actually the home of the illustrious billionaire and politician Sir James Goldsmith, who died in 1997. Cuixmala was established as a hotel a few years after the passing of Goldsmith, whose personal and professional lives were both turbulent and who had roots in both Britain and France. Some members of the Goldsmith clan, nevertheless, are still living in their secluded homes on the property.

James Goldsmith was married three times and had a lot of lovers. He left behind eight children. In interviews, one of those kids, Alix Marcaccini, who converted Cuixmala into a hotel, said that "family was very important to my father, even though he had an atypical existence." Another noteworthy detail is that Lady Annabel Goldsmith, Alix's mother, is also the founder of the illustrious London membership club Annabel's.
