Imagine a hotel that feels less like a hotel than a nature and wildlife preserve dotted with bungalows and villas, all gorgeous and stylish, yet also comfortable and barefoot-casual. Instead of walking to your room, you get transported from the hotel’s front desk to your room by boat via a winding lagoon. This is not a fantasy, it’s a reality at Rosewood Mexico.

Turn that smartphone off and go for a swim in the sea first thing in the morning. Come back to a spread of freshly caught oysters in your room and later, order some Asian bites injected with distinctly Mexican touches, like sashimi served with tomatillo salsa, and fish tiradito dressed in sour orange and radish at the hotel’s Agave Azul Sushi & Tequila Bar. A quick nap or a hike in the afternoon in the jungle and a luxurious massage near the pool in the evening, with the sun going down and leaving you with a feeling of calm and joy. This is the sort of place you visit to take a break from all that thinking and planning, because your only plan here should be to relax and unwind.

Suites at this luxurious resort are complemented with rooftop sundecks, over-sized terraces, spacious bathrooms (some with outdoor garden showers), plunge pools and boat docks.

Guests also discover open spaces, contemporary furnishings and sliding-glass doors with wooden lattices for fresh air in their private retreats.
