Bacalar – as enchanting as the word sounds, as magical is the Mexican place that bears this name. In the untouched nature of the lagoon town, the colours blue and green take on a whole new dimension, not only pleasing to the eye but also touching the soul. How do you build a resort here? With a lot of mindfulness. The Boca de Agua shows how. It blends in so seamlessly that you could be forgiven for thinking it was part of the ecosystem.

Is there really a place called Maria Alm? Yes! Even if it does sound a bit like you’ve discovered an isolated place with an impressive name, a pilgrimage church and an idyllic mountain and meadow panorama. And in Maria Alm there is also a Josef, although his surname is Sepp. He’s the one who’s in charge of all the excitement round here with his eponymous hotel for “children over 21”, as he calls his guests.
