"One of just three Three-MICHELIN-Key hotels in Mexico, this secluded beachfront yoga resort south of Puerto Vallarta features dramatic open-air lodgings and a minimalist ethos—six palm-thatched yoga studios set in jungle that meets the sea—and a restaurant serving a healthful menu led by the freshest catch; room rates can drop below $300 in the off season, making it an exceptional value." - David Shortell

"Retains a Three-Key honor in 2025 as part of Mexico’s trio of top-rated hotels, representing the best of beachside luxury with architecture that embraces the Mexican landscape and accommodations that tuck among the trees." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Awarded the MICHELIN Guide’s rare Three Keys as one of just three hotels in Mexico, this beachside retreat is celebrated for photogenic architecture and interior design, featuring breathtaking interiors and exteriors that embody the Inspectors’ five judging criteria at their pinnacle." - The MICHELIN Guide

"Yearning to get away from it all? Puerto Vallarta probably isn’t quite the first place you’ll think of. But then there’s Xinalani, a gloriously secluded eco-resort wedged between the jungle and the water. Technically, it’s in Puerto Vallarta, but it’s actually twelve miles down the coast from the city proper, and only accessible by boat — which makes all the difference." - Mark Fedeli

"You’ll be in heaven at Xinalani, so long as you’re into the great outdoors and the resort’s low-impact approach to the environment. The natural landscape surrounding the place is Xinalani’s main attraction: even the 23 guestrooms, situated within a series of palm-thatched cabins, are open-air. Each has just three walls and a curtain that you’ll probably leave open most of the time, the better to catch a sea breeze or gaze at the thousands of stars twinkling in the night sky." - Le Guide MICHELIN
