The fabulous Cuixmala private estate, nestled amid 25,000 acres of lush vegetation, lagoons and beaches, has four magnificent houses which are all fully staffed and sumptuously decorated in Mexican, European and Moorish design. For couples and smaller groups, there are nine casitas with a shared pool, clubhouse and restaurant serving mouth-watering dishes using ingredients from the estate's own organic farm and highland ranch.

Ecology is an integral part of the Cuixmala experience and the Chamela-Cuixmala Biosphere Reserve offers guests a unique opportunity of up-close encounters with exotic flora and fauna. White tail deer roam freely on the vast acreage, and sea turtles nest on the property’s shores (Jul to Oct). The coconut plantation and the organic farm is where most of the food consumed on the property comes from. With its unparalleled freshness, the food served at Cuixmala is simply delicious.

During your stay at Cuixmala take part in the complimentary activities: go snorkeling or kayaking, play tennis, spot birds and the sea turtles that nest at Casa Rio, take out a mountain bike or learn to surf. Additional activities such as horseback riding, lagoon tours, sailing, fishing, boat tours, golf, polo and scuba diving outside Cuixmala can easily be arranged.
