→ When you visit Mexico, it’s somehow easy to believe that you’ll find your own undiscovered little corner. We look at fifteen newly added hotels that give a hint as to why.

Mexico is one of those places where it seems like you never stop hearing about the next big thing.

Almost as soon as a hot new Mexican destination pops up on the global radar, it’s declared to be over — too crowded, too passé — replaced by a different flashpoint just a bit further down the road. For evidence, simply chart the evolution of popularity that started in Cancun and spread out to Playa del Carmen then Tulum then Holbox and Bacalar. And that’s just one corner of the Yucatan. Trend seekers plant their flag, then move on in search of the next magical little fishing village.

In some ways it’s been problematic. In other ways it’s hard to blame them. This type of growth happens everywhere, but it can feel like it happens in Mexico more than most anywhere else, a testament to the government’s enthusiastic support and to the country’s abundant gifts. Mexico’s size and its diverse landscapes, customs, and cuisines are endlessly appealing and effortlessly romantic.

The result: continually expanding tourist zones and unprecedented hotel openings. Some of those openings are sitting below. Similar to our Paris story from a couple weeks ago, each of these hotels was recently added to the Tablet selection. Each helps you discover a unique corner of Mexican culture.

Hotel Sureño

Mérida, Mexico

Mérida is full of colonial buildings turned into appealing modern hotels, like Hotel Sureño, which recently opened in the historic center. The hotel sees a steady stream of people, thanks to a great restaurant and a stylish rooftop bar and pool deck that regularly hosts happy hours, DJ sets, and live jazz. But it’s particularly pleasurable to check into one of Sureño’s 17 rooms.

Wakax Hacienda

Tulum, Mexico

Slightly inland from Tulum’s busy beaches, Wakax Hacienda taps into some of the region’s other assets — namely its Mayan history, its lush jungle setting, and a network of cenotes, or limestone sinkholes fed by underground rivers. The hotel is strategically positioned right beside a trio of cenotes, and easy access to these ethereal, turquoise-hued, all-natural swimming pools is reason enough to stay.

Hacienda El Santuario Centro

San Miguel de Allende, Mexico

Nestled among the picturesque Bajio Mountains, San Miguel de Allende is the perfect setting for an unassuming, historically inclined boutique like the Hacienda El Santuario Centro. Originally a Spanish colonial residence dating back to the sixteenth century, the hotel has been effectively yet subtly modernized, while retaining the intimate, personalized feel of a Mexican bed & breakfast.

Casa Blanco Madera

Todos Santos, Mexico

Just up the coast from the artsy village of Todos Santos, a string of stylish boutique hotels line the beach road. The intimately sized Casa Blanco Madera is one of the finest. Run by a Mexican couple who fell in love with the region on a road trip through the Baja California Peninsula, it’s made up of just three rooms housed in a low-lying whitewashed building surrounded by desert gardens.

Casona los Cedros

Espita, Mexico

The main building at Casona los Cedros, an old colonial villa framed by tropical foliage, was abandoned for decades before a French architect snapped up the property and transformed it into a modern boutique hotel. The original structure now houses the reception and bar, while the new addition, built by local craftspeople using traditional materials like stone and wood, features nine minimalist guest rooms.
