The main purpose of this article is to let you know the hotels in Mexico Small Luxury Hotels of the World consider most interesting.

La Casa que Canta (Ixtapa Zihuatanejo)

In one of southern Mexico’s most beautiful villages on the Pacific coast

Like a cluster of mink-capped mushrooms clinging to the cliff face, the extraordinary tiered architecture of La Casa Que Canta Hotel is both striking and beautiful. Coupled with the building, the attentive service, delectable cuisine, the spa, the infinity-edged pool and the amazing views across Zihuatanejo Bay are all equally superb.

Every room and suite has a breathtaking view of the sea. Small details like the flower petal designs laid out on the beds each day show an extra attention to detail. Suites benefit from large terraces, hand-crafted furniture and a complimentary mini-bar. It is all magical but the pool with backdrop of rock, palms and tumbling flowers is sublime.

Loma del Mar Thalasso Spa Resort (Ixtapa Zihuatanejo)

This hotel has just 16 stunning suites each with a private balcony, a championship golf course, three superb pools, a private beach area and the most sophisticated Thalasso Wellness Centre and Spa.

Make the most of the three pools at Loma del Mar. The outdoor infinity pool has overhead cascades for neck and shoulder hydro massage while the seawater pool provides a series of hydro apparatus for both underwater and overhead thalassotherapy. The smallest pool has a higher level of salt for flotation therapy with underwater music.

Esencia Hotel (Playa del Carmen)

The spaciousness of Esencia allows an eclectic choice of accommodation in its 29 rooms (17 are suites): the main house has just nine rooms spreading themselves - with a very unique style - over its three storeys; each with large sun terraces and mesmerising sea views. Lost in the grounds are two private houses, both with four garden room annexes, perfect for friends and families, and there are a further ten individual garden suites with private solariam and plunge pools. An example of Esencia's difference is the local cuisine: world-class but with a twist! For example, one of the chef's specialities is seafood baked underground in banana leaves!

Villa Rolandi Thalasso Spa Gourmet & Beach Club (Isla Mujeres)

A stylish and tranquil spa resort on Isla Mujeres

Discover the natural charm of the Mexican Caribbean and Isla Mujeres. A haven of tranquillity nestled between a powder soft, white sandy beach and the turquoise waters of the Makax Lagoon, this is a romantic escape with a gourmet restaurant, a magnificent spa, infinity-edged pool and a private yacht.

Try swimming with dolphins, or go whale shark watching between June and September. Take the hotel yacht to Cancun for a round of golf at the Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed golf course. Return for gourmet Swiss-Northern Italian cuisine at Villa Rolandi’s restaurant with the lights from Cancun twinkling across the water, in the distance.

Hacienda de San Antonio (Colima)

A stunning colonial hacienda on a coffee plantation

The most exquisite jewel of a place, Hacienda de San Antonio sits high up in the Colima hills at the foot of a volcano on a 5000-acre ranch and coffee plantation.

At Hacienda de San Antonio, it feels as though you are staying in an elegant family home. From the coral pink exterior to the charming suites with superb works of art, by leading artisans, on display, the hotel is a reflection of the Mexican tradition of arts and crafts. For the ultimate treat, stay in one of the truly sumptuous Grand Suites.

Currently, Hacienda de San Antonio has a sister property Cuixmala Hotel,

which was a great mansion in a nature reserve that was once only available as a private rental. Now it is an intimate retreat open to individual guests—but still requires some deep pockets for the air of exclusivity.

Surrounded by historic buildings in the artistic haven of Todos Santos

In an exquisitely converted 19th-century brick property, in the former colonial area of Todos Santos, Hotel Guaycura has just 14 exclusive suites with panoramic town and sea views.
