Puerto Vallarta, Mexico – Xinalani, a secluded eco-boutique hotel located on Quimixto Beach near Puerto Vallarta, has earned the coveted Three Key distinction from the Michelin Guide, a rare honor shared by only two other hotels in all of Mexico. This prestigious award highlights Xinalani’s excellence in areas like design, service, and guest experience.
Accessible only by boat, Xinalani Retreat offers a unique escape for travelers seeking more than a traditional getaway. Nestled on a private beach surrounded by lush jungle, the hotel features 33 eco-chic rooms and beach casitas, each offering stunning ocean views. Guests can explore six yoga studios, a world-class spa, and a restaurant serving healthy, locally inspired dishes, all designed to promote wellness and serenity.
Xinalani, meaning “seed” in Nahuatl, embodies the retreat’s philosophy of personal growth and self-discovery. The founders believe that by nurturing the seed of love within, guests can leave feeling renewed and inspired.
In addition to Xinalani, three other hotels in Puerto Vallarta received recognition from the Michelin Guide. The Bellview Boutique Hotel, Casa Kimberly, and Hacienda San Angel were each awarded the ‘One Key’ distinction for their commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences.
The Michelin Keys are awarded to accommodations that excel in enhancing the guest experience. Each is evaluated across five key categories: architecture and design, service quality and consistency, unique personality and character, value for money, and its impact on the overall guest experience in a particular setting.
