Gypset Travel ~ Cuixmala, Mexico

As much as I love adventure and embracing the unknown, it’s always nice to experience a bit of luxury when you can. If you are looking for a luxury eco-adventure, make your way to Cuixmala, Mexico. It started as a family home and a man’s desire to bring organic farming to the area, but it has evolved into much more than that. It’s an experience, not just a destination.

Cuixmala is located on Mexico’s Pacific Coast. The land was originally established as an ecological reserve by environmentalist Sir James Goldsmith, who also used the area to build his family home. His daughter, Alix, inherited the property and introduced permaculture into the mix.  She transformed the private estate into the present day resort. The 25,000 acre property includes three beaches, lagoons, trails, and a nature preserve.

The ecology of this destination is an integral part of the experience you have when visiting. Every aspect of your stay has some connection to the land, whether it’s swimming, snorkeling, birdwatching, horseback riding, or admiring the vast natural beauty.

Cuixmala has its own ecological foundation that protects its natural habitats.  They have a turtle protection program that has returned thousands of baby turtles to the sea. If you are lucky enough to be visiting when the eggs hatch, visitors are invited to help the hatchlings return to the ocean.

The food offered at Cuixmala is from its own organic farm or the family’s El Jabali ranch in the Mexican highlands. Produce is harvested the same day that it is served and all of the fruits, vegetables, dairy, meats, and coffee are certified organic.
