Tulum, Mexico | Casa Malca
Casa Malca Tulum:
Where Art, Luxury, and Legend Meet
If Tulum is known for its creativity and style, Casa Malca is the ultimate expression of both. This boutique hotel is part luxury retreat, part art gallery, and part legend, with every corner designed to surprise and inspire.
The property itself has a mysterious past—locals say it once belonged to Pablo Escobar. Today, it’s been transformed into a design-forward hotel where art takes center stage. Before you even reach the lobby, you’re greeted by a stunning curtain made of wedding dresses, an installation that feels both whimsical and powerful, setting the tone for the experience ahead.
Inside, the surprises continue. The Chandelier Bar is a spectacle on its own, shimmering and theatrical, perfect for a cocktail before or after dinner. There’s even a secret pool hidden beneath the main pool, adding to the hotel’s mystique and giving guests a unique “insider” experience.
The rooms at Casa Malca are nothing short of spectacular. They’re spacious, beautifully designed, and filled with comfort-focused details: rain showers, electronic blackout curtains, oversized couches, and incredibly soft beds and pillows that make it hard to want to leave. It’s luxury with personality, wrapped in bold design and thoughtful service.
One of the things we loved most is its location at the very end of Tulum’s beachfront strip. That means the beach is less crowded, the vibe is more relaxed, and you still have easy access to Tulum’s best restaurants and nightlife. The concierge team is excellent, offering curated recommendations for dinner and activities so you can make the most of your stay without stress.
Tips for Travelers
If you appreciate art, this hotel will feel like a private gallery. Take time to walk through the spaces and discover each piece.
For couples, Casa Malca is perfect for a romantic yet playful getaway. The rooms’ size and comfort also make it a great option if you’re traveling with older kids or teens.
Being at the far end of the strip, plan your outings accordingly, but enjoy the peace that comes with a less crowded beach.
