Our favorite Boutique Hotels in Mexico
EDITOR NOTE:
Boutique hotels and resorts are so inspiring and current flight prices to places like Tulum or the Yucatan Penisula are a great reason to book your wedding early. A huge advantage to having your destination wedding at a boutique hotel is that you can bring your own photographer without paying extravagent fees. Many all-inclusive hotels will charge steep fees if you don’t use their exclusive photography team. We’ve curated a few of the most amazing boutique hotels in Mexico below. Get in touch with Juan today to reserve your spot!
Hotel Tiki Tiki Tulum
Miami meets Mexico at laidback, budget-boutique Hotel Tiki Tiki Tulum, whose rooms are graced with snug hammocks, vivid tiled floors, mid-century furniture and leafy jungle views. An Instagram-ready pool, tropical-treat café and cosy common areas are your additional cues to swap Tulum Beach for this off-the-radar, off-the-beaten-track spot in Tulum town. Take your tastebuds on a tour of the brilliant, frills-free street-food options on your doorstep, then hire tuk-tuks, bikes or scooters to leap-frog from beaches to bars to Maya ruins to cenotes (not necessarily in that order). Lush Mexican jungle – sacred, don’t you know – provides a serene, green backdrop to your adventures.
Taller de Juan Casa Hotel
With enough glossy woodwork and carpentry to make Geppetto proud, Taller de Juan is a stylish studio in Mexico’s southern state of Chiapas. As with much of the architecture of San Cristóbal de Las Casas, the low-slung building is centred around a courtyard, with a new storey added to really showcase Juan’s skills (and house the Master Suite). A local artist was enlisted to create the paintings and even the rooms keys are miniature works of art.
Casa Hormiga
Find inner peace (and everything else) at Casa Hormiga, a homey hideaway a block away from the banks of lake Bacalar in the Yucatan Peninsula. Silence descends daily from 10pm to 10am in order for serenity to permeate, aided along the way by rituals in the traditional temazcal steam lodge, cacao ceremonies and sound healing. Mimic a monk at the library, in one of the three pools, on your jungle-facing treehouse’s balcony or in the official chill-out space, the Nest. For wellbeing of the more tastebud-pleasing type, beeline for the Brote restaurant and be soothed by its Mexican and Middle Eastern mix-up.
