Casa Malca

G&G _ Magazine • September 26, 2019

Casa Malca opened in 2014 with only eight rooms located in the main house after being purchased by Lio Malca, New York based art dealer that was able to transform the property into a unique place.

Currently with 72 rooms, Casa Malca is a luxury retreat where guests can enjoy the attentive and dedicated service, maximum privacy and enter the alternative reality that the art, design and decoration can create.

With part of his personal collection of contemporary art distributed throughout the various spaces, Lio Malca was able to build a new and unique concept in Tulum, where guests can coexist with works of art worthy of a museum. The art pieces will be on the walls of the rooms, in the corridors and common areas.

The rooms are very spacious, from 645 up to 1076 square feet (60 to 100 square meters). Each room is beautifully decorated with unique furniture and works of art personally chosen by Lio Malca. The feeling of Nature is around the ocean view rooms as well as the garden view rooms.

From its name to every detail, the concept of Casa Malca is designed to welcome guests like at home. Discovered after being empty for more than a decade it has been renovated and enlarged in a conscious and respectful way with the existing architecture and its natural environment. A magical place that provides each guest with experiencial and unforgettable memories.

Casa Malca has 590 feet (180 meters) of beach extension bathed by the Caribbean Sea. Outdoor and indoor pool, two bars, three restaurants and a rooftop with a 360º view where guests can watch the most beautiful sunset over the jungle.

The main restaurant Philosophy has incredible views over the blue sea during the day and silvered by the moon at night. Philosophy celebrates the cuisine with modern dishes, prepared with local ingredients. Inspired by the unique flavours of the region, we are delighted to present our customers with fresh products and maintain an organic cuisine.

Ambrosia is an Asian specialty restaurant, with dishes created by Chef Jonathan Carbajal and made with the best and freshest ingredients. Built entirely with recycled wood from Casa Malca’s renovation, it is decorated with works of art by the artist Keith Haring.

The Pastry and Bakery is an authentic example of talent and creativity. Taste the daily baked breads for breakfast or signature desserts in the various restaurants will become a sensory experience that you will hardly forget.

The Main House Bar is a work of art. The wallpaper with the Keith Haring famous patterns covers the walls and ceiling making you feel inside his world. Here we prepare juices, smoothies and delicious cocktails during day time.
