"At Cuixmala there’s an excellent local food-sourcing practice, local materials are used across the estate, and there’s also the turtle protection programme".

"While much of Mexico’s Pacific coast has succumbed to big development, this stylish 38-room estate takes a different approach, supporting a sprawling, 25,000-acre nature reserve—much of it semi-deciduous dry forest, one of the most threatened habitats in the region".
2014 Global Vision Awards
From Virtuoso’s Director of Sustainability: “Cuixmala is a well-deserved winner,” says Costas Christ. “The resort has protected 25,000 acres of rare dry tropical forest along Mexico’s Pacific coast, among the world’s most biodiverse and richest natural habitats. By drawing 99 percent of its staff from nearby communities, the 36-room property also ensures that locals reap ecotourism’s economic benefits, and it supports an environmental education program in local schools. From eliminating plastic water bottles to producing 75 percent of its food from its own organic farm, Cuixmala has shown that protecting the environment is at the core of its mission".

"Casi exagerando, pero no, nadie debería venir aquí sin conocer Cuixmala, un reserva ecológica —hotel tan espectacular como para mudarse a vivir en ella—. Dentro del gigantesco terreno hay mucho más que playas, lo que predomina es la selva baja y la flora y la fauna que crecen en ella. Claro que para poder disfrutar de todo esto, hay que hospedarse aquí. Si se viene en familia, rentar una de las casitas que no resulta tan caro y siempre se incluyen los fresquísimos alimentos (casi más de la mitad de la comida es de producción propia)".

Responsible Travel's vision for the World Responsible Tourism Awards at WTM rests on a simple principle - that all types of tourism, from niche to mainstream, can and should be organised in a way that preserves, respects and benefits destinations and local people. We want to celebrate the shining stars of responsible tourism - the individuals, organisations and destinations working innovatively with local cultures, communities and biodiversity.
