Nizuc
This has to be my top ‘one to watch’ due to the involvement of the great Adrian Zecha. The driving force behind the inspiring Amanresorts and now GHM Hotels, is turning his legendary design aesthetic to Mexico. Cancun to be exact, which has suffered from a mass market image for too long. Zecha’s new Nizuc will raise the bar significantly. This US$180 million development is to be built on the infamous Punta Nizuc, the site of the former Mexican Presidential Retreat. The ancient Mayan culture of the people who populated this area will influence all aspects of the hotel, inspiring the design, food and art. There will be 160 one-two and three bedroom pied-a-terres, 45 hotel rooms, 16 Club Suites and three expansive villas. Also part of the development is a 2000 sq metre ESPA Spa offering an innovative treatment programme inspired by millenari mayan traditions as well as ayurvedic treatments. The resort will have seven swimming pools, including a striking series of six sculptural pools side-by-side near the beach. Owners will also find pools at each of Nizuc’s residences. The resort’s mangrove lagoon will be dotted with scenic paths and swimming platforms. There will also be three restaurants, one focusing on Mexican regional cuisine, another Peruvian and a beachside restaurant as well as a Havana Cigar lounge. Nizuc is located on the great Mayan Reef, the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere, providing superb diving and snorkelling. Credit cards at the ready!
