The Best Hotel Openings in the Americas for 2023
Xela Tulum, Mexico
The serene hideaway among the shores of Tulum Beach is a lesson in quiet luxury. Each of the 12 guestrooms echoes that of a private coastal villa, where natural elements mix with the minimalist architecture, blending indoor-outdoor living via a palette of sand-like hues, sun-kissed-inspired orange shades, and inviting textures. Among the standouts are an open-air living room and two pools framed by sun chair and loungers.
