If you have not heard of Casa Malca yet, you will soon. What was previously Pablo Escobar’s mansion has been turned into a luxury hotel on the white sand beach of Tulum. Lined with famous artwork, Persian Rugs and hanging couches, every inch of this hotel is worthy of a photo. The hotel was renovated by a NYC art dealer who kept the original vibes, while adding unique design additions, a coveted bar and hidden pools.

As 2019 rolls around, this new hot spot has gained significant traction and should be on your list if you are visiting Tulum!
