Comala & Cuixmala

Beach + Coast and Countryside Family Trip March 2022

Two sister properties, one inland and one on the coast, split the trip into two halves. Four days on a 5,000-acre working hacienda beneath an active volcano bring a tandem skydive with the volcano in view, a mezcal cocktail class and a lakeside picnic. Then the coast, on a 30,000-acre nature reserve with its own shoreline and three beaches: whale watching, horseback riding past zebras on the plains and an ATV ride to a picnic on a hidden beach. Luxury at both ends, with adventure in between.

 
Behind the Route

A first post-COVID trip with a 16-year-old, built around specific criteria: direct flight, complete privacy, and enough adventure to make up for two years at home.

Best For The big-budget traveller who wants luxury Mexico off the beaten path.
  

This was our first planned trip after COVID lockdowns, and we needed somewhere that could absorb disruption without derailing everything. A direct flight to limit exposure and complexity, the option to self-drive or hire a private driver so we weren't dependent on group logistics, and complete privacy if necessary. We also had a 16-year-old who had spent enough time staring at bedroom walls and had no interest in spending a week on a beach chair. Adventure programming that would actually land with him was non-negotiable. We found a set of sister properties that checked every box.
