As a child, I fall asleep for the sound of waves-which records the tracks of the ocean. There was some deep soothing about rhythmic accidents, even if they were coming from a speaker. And when the sound alone was not enough, I used to imagine where those waves could descend: distant coast, quiet beach, somewhere from the noise of everyday life. That fictional place, it turns out, exist – and I found it on the Pacific coast of Mexico.

Aid OxacaLa Velis Mazte feels that once my imagination is like a destination. With just six suites and a pentagon -shaped villa, this boutique retreat is tucking into the forest in the small beach city of Majunte, which is famous for its untold beauty and the endless soundtrack of the echoed waves resonating against its right edge.

“La Valis Majunte is not only a place to live. This is an invitation to be part of the landscape,” the founder of Yaves Namon, Iconic hospitality, La velis hotel‘Native company, told Travel + holiday“Every detail reflects the beauty of this protected heaven. It is a complete immersion in the grandeur of the coast of Oxaca.”

It begins with immersion design. Maxican conceived by architect Alberto kalchThe hotel is originally present, as it is the expansion of the land. Built directly in rocks, it looks like a natural formation compared to a man -made retreat. “Kalach is a master of making architecture that does not impose, but is concerned. His works are celebrated to merge their ability to merge with nature around the world, to honor the land instead of winning,” Namron said. “Together with the architect Ignasio uurkizaHe imagined a design that realizes that rocks and the ocean themselves shaped it. ,

The five -year process was intentional as design. He said, “No machinery touched this place, only the hands of true artisans,” he said. “Every stone, every wooden ray was kept with purpose and respect.”

La Valis Majunte is the fourth addition to La Valis Collection of Anson Hospitality, which is joining the qualities Tulum, Mexico CityAnd San miguel de alandeBut for Namon, the project feels particularly individual. He told T+L, “For the first time when I had set foot in Majunte, I felt that I feel an energy against anything already knowing.” “There was a magnetic bridge that pulled itself and unspecmachied from me, not only in front of me, but also from the land.

Mazunte is free from large name resorts and commercial spread. Staying here seems like searching an untouched heaven – one that forces you to slow down and listen. I was one of the first people to live in this hidden gem. It is here that it likes to experience La Velis Majunte for itself.

Room

The hotel has six suites and a villa. Located in the forest and there is just a small buggy ride from the main ground, a bedroom villa is the crown jewel of the Pentegonos Hotel-a return where nature and creatures co-exist.

I reached the juicy, secluded entrance and followed the steps of disconnected stone for my personal oasis. A minimum lounge area and a pentagon -shaped infinity pool that appeared to spread to the sea was the first to congratulate me.

Villa names open sliding doors for pentagon -shaped bedrooms, prepared with modern comfort: air conditioning, a sealing fan and integrated charging port. The room has two additional sliding doors that open directly to sea views. If you are counting, the fourth part of the pentagon-shaped room is still another slipping door that opens on one outer roof, even with the wider sea view and access to the open-air bathroom of the villa. Just behind a smooth partition, there is cleverly hidden storage for accessories, towels, clothes and a safe.

Villa Pentegonos is ideal for those who want a deep connection to solitude, peace and nature. The immersion, of course, comes with a topical journey from the local ecosystem (think of Bugs, Birds and Criters) -But during my stay, it remained a peaceful, undivided retreat.

Food and drinks

With just one restaurant on the site, the hotel does not eliminate its food and drink offering. Breakfast, a full -day menu and dinner service, everything can also be ordered directly in your room or enjoy in a communal roofing place. The menu attacks the right balance – not too widespread, not too rare.

Breakfast brings a rich selection of local tastes, including Mummelas Eggs, Huvos Ranchros, Chikwile and Chicken ItacatesFresh juice, smooth, seasonal fruit, coffee, tea, and a daily pastry spread in the morning.

The all-day menu is equally abundant, with snacks such as Guakamol, Beat Hammus, Fris and Baba Ghanosh; Salad with a home version with pineapple and cucumber, and a Thai Quinoa Salad; A raw bar, which features shrimp aguchile, fish kevach in Hibiscus Marynade, and tuna toastadas; And tacos with octopus, shrimp or chicken. Descerts are from chocolate Tomal And cheesecake Binoullos And Creme Bruulée.

Dinner spreads on the whole day’s offerings with admission like local catch of day, Pescado a la tallaShrimp EnmaladasAs beverages, it includes a curated selection of wine (with both white and red options from Mexico), beer, and a cocktail list that naturally highlights a node to the mazal, Oxaca.

Activities and experiences

In La Velis Majunte, the views feel like an experience alone – and worth taking time to absorb. But beyond the scenes, the hotel offers an array of activities designed to help you detect land and sea. Guests can dub in sunset yoga, book a mezcal tasting, witness sea turtle hatching, go to one Temazcal Horse riding with ceremony, or even coastline. Depending on the tide, guests can also reach a secluded beach with palapa. (During my stay, a strong flood stream pushed the sea towards rocks, temporarily retrieved part of the beach.)

For those eager to find beyond the property, Azon suggested going to Panta Cometa. “At sunset, it’s a surprise,” he said. “The sky burns gold, the sea spreads forever, and the time stops.” He also recommends the increase of morning growth for bird song scenes and symphony. “These are not attractions,” he said. “These are moments that touch the soul.”

I enjoyed a tasting Ruu piiil mezcal This taught me the past and present of the mazal production in Oxaca. I also participated in a quiet sunset meditation session and saw the release of Baby-C Turtles-an unforgettable experience organized with the local eco-tourism center La ventanila,

The spa

Spa menu offers a curated selection of remedies from reflexology to stone massage, as well as a facial option – all are available. With the natural rhythm of the ocean as its soundtrack, there is no need for artificial environment. Its spontaneity is to separate this experience: no changing room, no infection – just roll from the massage table and if you want, directly into a blissful nap. (Yes, I am projecting and telling you what I did.)

Family friendly offerings

The hotel welcomes guests of 12 years and above, which is “a conscious decision to preserve the peace of this sanctuary.” While there are no facilities designed for adolescents, all offerings are available to guests across the board, including 12 to 18 age limit.

Accessibility and stability

The stability is at the core of many operating elements of the hotel, from local farms and fishermen to recycling and reducing environmental effects. “Our buildings were built with local stone and wood, which were using low impact methods, which adamage the land as much as possible.” “Our low -impact methods ensure minimum environmental disruption.”

Located within the L. Toron, a 30-hectare nature reserve that is dedicated to wildlife protection and ecological restoration, the property was designed to leave and leave only a small footprint. “We are not just working continuously, we are actively contributing to the protection of this extraordinary ecosystem,” Ansn said.

In terms of access, Namron said that guests with mobility issues should do a little extra outreach before their stay. “Rocks that make this place so breathtaking also bring challenges,” he said. “We invite guests with dynamics to contact our Kansiaj so that we can provide the best guidance and support for their stay.” (While a golf cart is available to help guests to navigate into the steep area, some areas may still find it difficult for people with mobility concerns.)
