Casa Malca, the reimagined former beach mansion of Pablo Escobar, isn’t trying to be an art hotel. But it could rival many modern art museums.
Add articles to your saved list and come back to them any time.My eyes trace the extraordinary ivory cascade of antique Mexican wedding dresses stitched together to form a sort of matrimonial spider web. It’s one of the first works guests encounter at Casa Malca, a boutique resort on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
My gaze wanders up to the highest tier, at nearly three storeys high. No two dresses are the same. The exquisite details suddenly sharpen into focus – the unique beading, lacy embellishments and lustrous satins in spectrums of white. Between them are lounge chairs suspended from rust-cloaked chains, a dusty pink Victorian-style sofa, and twin faded terracotta-hued armchairs. They’re not just for display; you can take a seat.
Chief among them is the lair-like subterranean grotto hidden beneath the resort’s main outdoor pool, accessible by a discrete set of stairs and a water wall .Twilight art tours on Fridays and Saturdays introduce visitors to the myriad oversized sculptures along the beach, in the lobby, bar and tucked between buildings and vegetation.
