Cuixmala
Summary
Cuixmala built by Sir James Goldsmith and is set in a nature reserve on the Mexican wild Pacific Coast, with golden sandy beaches nearby. This private estate is set within some lush vegetation of over 25000 acres of land, beaches, and lagoons. It was designed at first as a private home for family & friends and then converted into a hotel that it is today. It is described by many as an eccentric but decadent hotel in the untouched area of Costa Alegre, with villas that are built in a Mexican - Arabian fantasyland style.
