Perched discreetly atop the coastal cliffs of Riviera Nayarit, set amongst the viridescent canopy of the rainforest behind, the One&Only Mandarina is a luxurious hideaway offering panoramic views over the Pacific Coast. Each of the 105 free-standing treehouses has stylish orange and cream interiors designed by local Mexican artisans, and every villa has its own plunge pool overlooking the ocean. With its exemplary hospitality, eco-friendly ethos and support for Indigenous culture, this hotel is ideal for those who are looking for quiet luxury without compromising on ethical stays. 

Earning its place as one of Mexico City’s best hotels, Las Alcobas does not slack on design, service and food. Previously a regal private residence, this five-star boutique in the picturesque Polanco quarter has been reimagined by Yabu Pushelberg, an esteemed interior design company located in New York. The farm-to-fork restaurant and the floor-to-ceiling windows are highlights, but it’s the cavernous bathtubs furnished with hydrotherapy jets and a personalised soap menu that steal the show. Check out our ASMALLWORLD guide to Mexico City for cultural and gastronomic recommendations that will not disappoint.

Tucked away on a pristine stretch of coastline near Puerto Vallarta, Imanta Resorts Punta de Mita offers a secluded, luxurious escape that feels a world apart from the other hotels on this strip. Its futuristic stone and glass villas, each with a pool, sunken bathtub and private terrace, set a new standard for modern Mexican design. Guests can spend their days kayaking, surfing, horseback riding, or relaxing at the spa, before dining at Ramon’s, Imanta’s delicious ceviche spot, or at Tupika, the Observatory restaurant famous for its freshly caught fish.
