Thirteen spacious rooms are spread over three levels
and range from standard to master suite. The walls
have a finish called chukum, a natural material which
is obtained from the resin that contains the bark of the
Havardia Albicans tree, it is mainly found in the area of
the Yucatan Peninsula. The Maya used it formerly to
produce stucco and as a coating water tanks to prevent it
from filtering water.
Enjoy a pleasant view of the garden while in the pool
or the cool spaces of the restaurant and lounge bar.
Breakfast is fresh, healthy and hacienda-like parlor with
museum quality pieces of art and furniture makes a
perfect setting for an afternoon happy hour.

Las amplias trece habitaciones se distribuyen en tres
niveles y van desde estándar hasta master suite. Los muros
tienen un acabado llamado chukum, un material natural
que se obtiene de la resina que contiene la corteza del
árbol Havardia Albicans, se encuentra principalmente en
la zona de la Península de Yucatán. Los mayas lo usaban
antiguamente para producir estuco y como revestimiento
de tanques de agua para evitar que filtrara el agua.
Disfrute de una agradable vista al jardín mientras está en
la piscina o en los frescos espacios del restaurante y
lounge bar. El desayuno es fresco, saludable y tiene un
salón estilo hacienda con piezas de arte y muebles de
calidad de museo, lo que lo convierte en el escenario

Namron Hospitality Sets Precedent
New Horizons Unveil with Opening of
La Valise San Miguel, XELA, UMI, VESICA & more
It takes a vision to disrupt and restructure an antiquated
concept into a contemporary scene that offers a bespoke
sensory experience. Namron Hospitality, spanning an
array of boutique hotels and restaurants across Mexico,
has managed to fill the void for the curious and avant-
garde travelers looking for an experience beyond the
ordinary. And just like that, the fantasy world of the
hospitality group founder Yves Naman unveils four new
properties: La Valise San Miguel, Vesica Tulum, XELA,
and UMI.
Self-taught hospitality aficionado Naman was always
looking for places that offered more than just an
impressive reception space across his travels. Instead,
he was looking for the focus to be within the
accommodations. It was in 2005 that he put up his own
home in the neighborhood of Roma Norte in Mexico
City as the world’s first (and smallest) boutique hotel
with just three suites, one per floor. Decked out with
chic and stylish Mexican design, he outfitted the spaces
as if a home of a bohemian art collector with antique
furniture, fascinating objets d’art, and unique
craftsmanship. The piece de resistance of the space
became its Terraza Suite, a rooftop nook with a rolling
bed that extends from the indoor space directly onto the
terrace. Guests flocked from all around the world and fell
in love with the capital, just like Naman once had, but
more than anything, they came here to feel at home. This
is when La Valises’ “As Unique As Our Guests” slogan
was coined.
La Valise would then expand to two new destinations,
La Valise Tulum and La Valise San Miguel. The latter
was opened earlier this fall 2022, spanning six exclusive
suites in a design space by famous Mexican-Italian artist
Pedro Friedeberg. Its rooms are sanctuaries of comfort
and leisure, appointed with tender design and expansive
spa-style bathrooms, each featuring a tin of its own for
ultimate relaxation.
26

La Valise Tulum
La Valise Tulum was first launched as an 11-room,
Robinson Crusoe-style villa on the azure Tulum
beachfront. Its rooms are treasure chests of artisanry
featuring pieces from the Yucatan as well as across
Mexico. In 2022, it expanded with 11 additional suites
located across the street in the Mayan jungle, where they
sit nestled around an ancient cenote. The expansion has
also allowed for the inauguration of the La Valise Spa,
a tranquil space that encloses the wellness values of the
brand under one jungle roof. This specific property has
received praise from international media outlets, including
Forbes, Conde Nast Traveller, Travel & Leisure, etc.
27

TULUM: NEST
Encantada and Radhoo
Having become a staple in Tulum, Namron Hospitality
quickly expanded with NEST, Encantada, and Radhoo.
Each unlike the other, the spaces are true tropical
dreamlands that lend a hand to the thoughtful style of
the hospitality group. NEST is one of the original
properties on Tulum Beach. It is a magical setting for an
authentic experience elevated by original architecture
and exceptional service in an intimate native beach
setting. The minimalist design and culture at NEST are
an ode to the region’s deep-rooted history.
NEST hotel
Encantada hotel
Encantada is comprised of just eight rooms nestled
along a quiet strip of Tulum Beach with views of the
Caribbean Sea and jungle gardens. With fierce
opposition to the traditional hotel model, the staff
here invest in the smallest of details, creating bonds
with returning guests.
Finally, Radhoo feels like the vibrant heartbeat of the
Mayan Biosphere, just steps away from Tulum’s main
strip.
Its collection of 14 unique rooms embodies Tulum’s
bohemian character and jungle sensuality, with an
added touch of exotic luxury and comfort. Both sultry
and serene, the Radhoo property resonates with an
ancient spirit of place that inspires one to enjoy the
full abundance of life. Each property’s aesthetic
elements done them one of the most popular wedding
destinations in the region, having been featured in
Vogue magazine amongst others.
28

At the Heart of the Caribbean
VESICA, UMI and XELA
Tulum is privy to unique and precious nature, a true
tropical paradise. Not only does Namron Hospitality
integrate sustainability practices across the board, but it
also encourages guests and neighboring businesses to do
so as well through its “Tulum Pledge.” Focusing on all
the essential details, it has become a cocoon of Tulum
culture ranging from painting at its Saturday art classes to
its musical curation with XERI Collective, artisanal craft
at La Valise Store and so much more. Each effort is one to
connect and collect community.
Radhoo hotel
Vesica
VESICA is Tulum’s social sanctuary cenote that boasts
leisurely spaces, gastronomy, wellness, etc. around an
ancient cenote. Its entryway is guided by a portal,
featuring day passes and memberships, for like-minded
people to gather away from the beach in the heart of the
jungle. The unique space has recently joined Namron
Hospitality’s roster as one of its cultural centers.
UMI and XELA are the newest projects for the group,
opening in winter 2023, with unique concepts that
further communicate the brand manifesto. XELA is a
soulful retreat for travelers, wanderers, sojourners, and
29
like-minded spirits deep in the heart of the Mexican
Caribbean. Like a private villa on the seashore, it hosts
an atmosphere of comfort, seclusion, and relaxation.
“Umi” means sea in Japanese— rightfully taking its
place on the front row of Tulum beach and its azure
Caribbean Sea. To enter UMI is to be embraced by
wood, water, and stone and breathe in a great deal of
tropical serenity of a coveted place that within it hosts
energy of exclusivity. It is the place to see and be seen,
especially at its private events and high-brow fêtes.

Gastronomy: Food for the Soul
VESICA, UMI and XELA
NÜ is Namron Hospitality’s standalone dinner-only
culinary proposal wedged into the jungle on Tulum
Road. Focused on slow-cooking and endemic dishes,
NÜ sources organic ingredients from the Yucatan with
Mestiza de Indias. Each of their proposals redefines the
regional relationship with food by exploring endemic
vegetables and preparing them directly in wood-fired
ovens.
30

NEST also boasts a beachfront restaurant of its
own, open to both guests and the public, that
works in joint with NÜ. It serves international and
Mexican beachside delicacies with a twist, utilizing
all organic ingredients. NEST’s Livingroom
restaurant serves Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner.
As Namron Hospitality consciously expands, it paves
the way for small boutique hotels to create places with
meaning. “I look forward to discovering different nooks
around Mexico and internationally and creating
unprecedented boutique hotels where people truly feel
at home,” says Yves Naman. His vision includes new
properties across Mexican coastlines, as well as within its
magical cities. In each place, he vows to uphold the values
of the brand through sustainability and artisanality,
focusing on conscious travel locally-inclusive properties.

former Hacienda Uxmal, 40 min from the city of Mérida right at the entrance
to Uxmal Archaeological site.
Choco-Story Uxmal is an interactive museum. It places its visitors as
protagonists, moving away from all conventionality. Each of 6 permanent
rooms represents an important aspect in the history of cocoa, a timeline from
fruit to chocolate today.

cocoa and made at the moment with rich spices and a ceremony in honor of the
Mayan Rain God Chac.

Tori Tori restaurant in Polanco, I was there for 3 years.
Since 2011 until now I have opened and advised 15
Japanese restaurants throughout the Mexican Republic,
