January 2023 will see the opening of Hotelito by MUSA

January 2023 will also see the opening of Hotelito by MUSA, south of Zihuatanejo, Mexico. The 13-bedroom hotel is an integral part of an inspired paradise rooted in intention, pleasure, and good design that is also home to private residences, organic farms, a beach club, pickle ball courts, and freshwater bio pool, plus workspaces, a recording studio and a media arts hub soon to come. The hotel is located on a raw and unobstructed section of ocean coastline, although a walk through the property's lush footprint reveals a serene saltwater lagoon on the opposite end. The MUSA community is a place where life, work, wellness, and pleasure coexist in effortless synergy; where modern and minimal architecture, with organic accents from hand-crafted, locally sourced, natural materials, pay homage to the heritage of the land and ground guest experiences in a connection to the landscape.
