This 25,000 hectare private estate on Mexico’s Costalegre, the late financier Sir James Goldsmith’s family retreat Cuixmala has been converted into a lavish hotel enclave with private villas, casitas, a two-mile private beach; all surrounded by the Chamela- Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve filled with wildlife.
Glittering, past guests have included the likes of Presidents Reagan, Kissinger and Nixon, and a few royals here and there, and whilst the same private, pampered and exclusive atmosphere prevails, Sir James’ daughter Alix runs a more relaxed show these days.
Choose from the suites or bungalows of Casa Cuixmala, three villas, or the delightful selection of casitas in which to experience Cuixmala.
