In collaboration with esteemed Mexico-based design firm, B-Huber, the enhanced design pays homage to the natural surroundings and the destination's rich cultural heritage, creating a Mexican-Mediterranean feel. Inspired by local craftmanship and architecture, the design seamlessly incorporates natural textures and materials, including travertine marble, blown glass, clay ceilings, hammered brass and natural woods.

Guest Rooms, Suites and Villas

All the resort's accommodations – spanning 120 guest rooms, expansive beachfront villas and ocean and garden view suites – have been redesigned to include luxurious and locally inspired interiors featuring Mexican art, handcrafted furnishings and hacienda structures with a touch of rustic Provence. Each accommodation draws inspiration from the Mexican-Mediterranean architectural style and vibrant elements found in traditional Mexican haciendas, such as colorful handcrafted tiles, arched patios and pigmented walls blending modern comfort with cultural charm. Guests of the resort can expect the elevated and personalized service The St. Regis is renowned for, with all accommodations providing access to a dedicated St. Regis Butler for the duration of the stay.

The most prestigious accommodations at the resort, the five residential-style beachfront villas boast an elevated sense of privacy for guests, with reimagined outdoor terraces offering personal lounge pools, ideal for families or groups traveling together. Ranging in size from one to three bedrooms, these villas feature a redesigned living area with plush furnishings, maximizing both space and functionality to create a comfortable retreat with direct beach access. Standing as the epitome of luxury within the region, the Presidential Villa acts as a gallery in theory, featuring meticulously crafted design elements and curated artwork from esteemed Mexican artists such as textiles from Caralarga, ceramic pieces from Encrudo and Perla Valtierra as well as functional, sculpture-like furnishings from Casa Bobadilla, all available for purchase.
