This unique luxury hotel of 48 rooms and suites is tucked in an exclusive cove on Jalisco’s Costa Careyes perched between rocky cliffs above a sandy bay dotted with majestic palms. Papaya-hued lodgings enclose an elegant courtyard dominated by the hotel’s signature freeform pool. Rooms are alive with color and art. At night tiny lamps illuminate the tropical grove, light the path to a secluded beach and lead the way up the hillside forest to the resort’s romantic restaurant high above the bay. The name, El Careyes, was inspired by the native word for the sea turtle that come ashore to lay eggs on these beaches, a ritual captured in a sensual folkloric dance. Guests can explore private Teopa Beach, which hosts a seasonal turtle rescue program complete with its own nursery. Many guests prefer to stretch out in a palapa on the private beach, but there are plenty of other activities ranging from luxurious treatments in the panoramic spa to water sports and nearby golf, riding stables and even polo fields.
