Tucked away on Tulum's pristine sands, Casa Malca is a luxurious art-infused haven with spacious suites and a vibrant atmosphere perfect for creative spirits.
"Why we love it: A city slicker–approved beach retreat with a vibrant art collection The Highlights: - The secret indoor pool up a staircase from the main pool area - Fresh-baked breads by pastry chef Simone Colla served daily in the Filosofía restaurant - An entryway featuring a rare sculpture by KAWS and vintage armchairs hung like swings from the ceiling The Review: The people watching is just as entertaining as the artwork at Casa Malca, a mansion once maintained by Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar but now owned by New York gallerist and art collector Leo Malca. Set on a Caribbean-facing swath of sand next to the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve—and just a short bike ride from Tulum’s beachfront boutiques and restaurants—the hotel features 71 rooms, complete with polished concrete floors, floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the ocean, and bold artwork from Malca’s personal collection. A black-and-white print inspired by Keith Haring covers the lobby bar, while antique baby dolls adorn the walls in one of the hotel’s three restaurants. The pool and beach areas are more sedate, with cerulean daybeds and colorful hammocks studded like jewels among the leafy palms."
"You can’t mention hippie chic without also mentioning Tulum. In the sun-kissed Riviera Maya is Casa Malca, the former beach retreat of Pablo Escobar. The property has been reimagined into a gorgeous hideaway for avant-garde art lovers and mezcal-sipping creative spirits. Stay here for the hip crowd, the cool contemporary art collection, and the rooftop sundeck." - Nicole Trilivas
