Travel + Leisure: The 11 Best New Beach Hotels Around the World
#1 – Susurros del Corazón, Auberge Resorts Collection
Set on a private beach overlooking the serene Bahía de Banderas, this intimate resort infuses the elevated atmosphere of an Auberge with the rich culture of Riviera Nayarit. Paul Duesing designed the 89 rooms, suites, and villas in neutral shades that put the focus on decor elements sourced from across the country, including terracotta animal figurines from San José del Cabo in Baja California Sur and custom wood headboards from Guadalajara. As beautiful as the resort’s physical spaces are, the real difference here is the heartfelt service. When I visited with my husband and young son, just about a month after the resort opened, the staff had already dialed into the kind of warm, deceptively effortless hospitality that typically takes years to perfect. (Case in point: within a minute of sitting down to dinner at Casamilpa, the property’s main restaurant, the team whipped out a highchair and took our order to ensure no one suffered a hangry-toddler meltdown.) Equally impressive is the roster of thoughtfully curated experiences, which includes a cacao ceremony led by a local healer and a gamified wine tasting session that spotlights Mexican vineyards. auberge-beta.kingandpartners.com; doubles from $1,099. —Sarah Bruning
