Final Might we determined to enterprise just a little farther than the now basic (and a bit boring) Tulum, going to the southern reaches of the Yucatán Peninsula at solely 2 hours drive.

The Casa Hormiga design, in collaboration with Mexican structure studio TallerMid51 was impressed by the handmade aesthetics of Morocco (they introduced again 4 containers full of fantastic furnitures, rugs and objects), and the Spanish Colonial affect providing a most leisure and luxury in a Wabi-sabi surroundings.
Probably the most stress-free areas, naturally, are reserved for the spa, which accounts for the “rituals” a part of the resort’s title, and presents therapies influenced by each Maya and Ayurvedic traditions.
We liked the interiors with its sustainable wooden which was sourced regionally, together with parts crafted by conventional Mayan woodworkers.
