Casa Malca

Situated along the beach in Tulum, Mexico, Casa Malca is far removed from its notorious past. Once the home of Pablo Escobar, the property has since been transformed into a 35-room hotel. The renovated rooms are filled with eclectic furniture and art, which are given a chance to shine thanks to the white walls and polished concrete floors. Nourishment comes in the form of two on-site restaurants serving light, local fare, and a bar is available for mid-afternoon indulgence. Floor-to-ceiling windows give a view of the ocean and gardens, but with three pools and rooftop deck, odds are you won't be spending much time inside.
