MILL VALLEY, Calif. (May 3, 2023) – Travel + Leisure today announced its eighteenth annual ‘It List,’ and honored all three eligible properties from the Auberge Resorts Collection portfolio for the second consecutive year. Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection in Napa, California, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection in New York’s Hudson Valley and Susurros del Corazón Auberge Resorts Collection in Punta de Mita, Mexico, have been celebrated by the magazine’s prestigious list of the world’s best new and renovated hotels and resorts. Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection opened in April 2022 as a bold new Napa experience with a one-of-a-kind wellness program. In September 2022, the highly anticipated Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collections ushered in a new-generation environmentally conscious, luxury retreat in the Hudson Valley, providing a world-class culinary experience centered around its working farm. Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection’s November 2022 opening, brought eyes to the beauty of Mexico’s untouched Pacific Coast with its offering of relaxed yet playful experiences that explore the locale’s culture and natural setting.

As three of only 100 properties recognized, Stanly Ranch, Auberge Resorts Collection, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection and Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection are showcased in the May 2023 issue of Travel + Leisure and online at travelandleisure.com. Determined annually by discerning magazine editors, the coveted ‘It List’ is a result of months of research on hundreds of new and renovated properties from around the world.

We are incredibly grateful to them and the editors at Travel + Leisure for recognizing Auberge Resorts Collection on this prestigious list.”

A Nature Inspired Retreat in New York’s Hudson Valley

Fringed by fiery fall forests and a slow-rippling river, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection is a verdant escape in the foothills of the Catskill Mountains, located just 90 minutes from New York City. Its expansive grounds encompass orchards, woodlands, a namesake farm, heirloom gardens and fields of native wildflowers that are meant to facilitate meaningful encounters with nature. Nestled within are 65 bespoke cabins, cottages and suites; seasonal wellness at Thistle, an Auberge Spa; three miles of onsite hiking trails; and unique experiences centered around nature. Bringing a new dimension to the Hudson Valley’s storied history of culinary influence, Wildflower Farms, Auberge Resorts Collection is home to exceptional dining destinations and on-site cooking school and farm education center, Maplehouse, with a diverse calendar of weekly events. At the resort’s signature restaurant, Clay, pasture-raised meats, free-range chicken and eggs, aromatic herbs and heritage fruits and vegetables come directly from the onsite six-acre farm or hand-picked farm partners and are prepared to perfection, each new dish a love letter to the Hudson Valley.

A Vibrant New Mexican Retreat on Punta de Mita’s Best Beach

A new, private beachfront escape nestled between the jungled cliffs of Mexico’s Pacific Coast welcomes guests to the most spectacular beach in Punta de Mita. Meaning ‘whispers of the heart,’ Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection is an oceanfront oasis that blends Mexico’s vibrant culture with the playful spirit of a luxurious, laid-back surf retreat. Located within reach and just north of Puerto Vallarta Airport, each of the resort’s 59 rooms and suites and 30 villas and residences offer indoor-outdoor spaces with private terraces and large, nature-framing windows. At the resort’s signature, farmhouse-inspired restaurant, Casamilpa, menus take their cue from the local Huichol people who originally practiced sustenance farming, while other tastes of authentic Mexican cuisine from land and sea are savored across its other eateries and epicurean experiences. Moments of quiet reflection and renewal will unfold in Onda, an Auberge Spa when it debuts later this year. There, 11 sea-facing treatment rooms and expert practitioners will invoke holistic healing with ocean-inspired body therapies using Undaria seaweed oil, heart-opening turquoise and cold wave stones. Overlooking the turquoise waters of Bahía de Banderas, the resort is a place that guests fall in love with and return to again and again, bringing together those who seek fun, relaxation and an exclusive Mexico escape.
