THE HOTEL
A luxury boutique hotel and México's most private resort, Las Alamandas is a romantic retreat on the Pacific Coast. Managed as an elegant, private estate where guests are afforded the highest standards of hospitality, this exclusive beachfront hideaway is situated on over 1,500 acres of unspoilt tropical paradise where just six villas accommodate a maximum of 33 guests.
The resort's villas, with tile roofs, shaded terraces and ceramic floors, are simply wonderful. All are individually decorated using México's finest craftwork, bright colours and traditional designs - Casa del Sol Villa contrasts sunshine yellow with shocking pink, while Casa Azul coolly combines blue and terracotta tones.
The public areas too are beautifully put together, combining an authentic Mexican flavour with contemporary chic amidst lush tropical surroundings. This resort is exclusivity and escape at its best.
We loved the Estrella Azul rooftop bar. Wonderfully chic, it is a haven of plump turquoise cushions and tequila extravagance. Watch out for the local 'mescal!
Once again we have thoroughly enjoyed our holiday with A&K. There was a fascinating mix of location and camp styles and the particular sequence worked very well for us.
