This spectacularly secluded resort lies in an estate covering 25,000 acres and includes the ecologically important Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve. Cuixmala was once the private hideaway of Sir James Goldsmith, and is still owned and managed by the Goldsmith family. Those looking for exclusivity, privacy and exceptional service can take their pick of the nine casitas (sleeping from two to six people) or the fabulous fully-staffed villas including La Loma, Goldsmith's former residence. The casitas are clustered around a large swimming pool and are close to the restaurant Casa Gomez. Breakfast (included in the rates if you stay in the casitas) and other meals are served on the terraces of Casa Gomez, where guests can enjoy spectacular vistas over the estate. Menus feature organic produce from the estate's ranch, including superb coffee.

To get the most out of your stay at Cuixmala, we recommend having a rental car; in fact it is almost essential. It's possible - indeed very enjoyable - to relax in your casita for a whole week, wandering on foot to the pool and restaurant. But the estate is so spectacularly beautiful that you'll be enticed to explore it as soon as you look out from your window on the first morning, and it's so vast that to do this requires wheels rather than feet. Miles of virgin beaches edge the estate. The best beach for swimming is at Caleta Blanca, thirty minutes away by car but well worth the journey. This private beach is incredibly beautiful, and guests are likely to have it to themselves. Driving through the tropical forests you may glimpse wild boar, coati mundis, white tailed deer, gazelle and antelope. There are even zebra, imported by Sir James Goldsmith and living and breeding happily in these exceptional surroundings. Golf, scuba, polo and surfing can be enjoyed nearby, and mountain bicycles and binoculars for birdwatching are available for guests use. Horseback riding can be arranged at the well equipped stables, and there's even a soccer pitch on the property.
