2025 Michelin 1 Key and 18 rooms
Michelin awarded Casa Hormiga one Key in 2025, and Mr & Mrs Smith gave it a Smith Seal of Approval in 2026. With 18 rooms, it suits travelers looking for a smaller hotel format with external recognition.
Pool, spa, yoga classes and restaurant
Pool, spa, yoga classes, massage, and hot tub shape the on-site routine, while the restaurant and bar keep dining close. Organic and local sourcing give the kitchen a clear procurement focus.
Waterfront and garden views
Waterfront and garden views frame the stay, with garden, terrace, and destination-spa elements adding outdoor emphasis. A quiet noise level supports a slower, conversation-led trip rather than a schedule built around bustle.
