Located in the heart of Valle de Guadalupe, Imanha offers a layered and immersive experience within the natural beauty of Mexico’s wine country. Every amenity is conceived to deepen one’s connection with the countryside — inviting guests to unwind, relax, and escape the noise of everyday life while fully engaging with the surrounding landscape.
The project is composed of six distinct buildings thoughtfully distributed across the site, each defined by its level of privacy and interaction with the environment. These are categorized as public, semi-private, and private spaces, creating a seamless transition from community to intimacy.
The Public Space encompasses the restaurant neighboring the hotel lobby — a space designed to gather visitors and locals alike. In response to the rise of culinary destinations within the valley, the restaurant was envisioned as a place that not only integrates into its environment but enhances it. Through the use of glass accordion doors and a semi-open wooden pergola, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors dissolve, allowing diners to experience the valley’s landscape as part of their meal.
The Semi-Private Spaces include the hotel lobby, spa, hotel clusters, and the central pool area. Located at the project’s entry, the lobby acts as the heart and helm of Imanha — a small, welcoming structure that greets visitors whether they are checking into the hotel or heading to the restaurant.
The spa, situated between the restaurant and the residential villa, continues the architectural language of the project while maintaining its own distinct identity. Its atmosphere is calm and meditative, offering a gentle contrast to the livelier public areas while still belonging to the same architectural family.
Scattered throughout the site are the room clusters, which form the core of the hotel. To preserve the valley’s traditional architectural character — modest, two-story structures of varying lengths — the rooms were divided into clusters of four. This approach not only harmonizes with the surrounding olive groves but also prevents the creation of a single, massive building that would disrupt the natural rhythm of the land.
Among these, the VIP clusters offer an elevated experience. Inspired by the villa typology, their raised first floors and private balconies feature individual fire pits and pools. In these clusters, the olive trees are not removed but celebrated — placed at the heart of each grouping, where their quiet presence defines the hierarchy and becomes a living centerpiece.
At the property’s center lies the pool area, designed as both an oasis and a social space. Its separation from the other amenities enhances privacy and minimizes noise, ensuring tranquility for all guests. A discreetly positioned bar and bathrooms, hidden among the foliage, preserve the site’s natural serenity. Two secluded jacuzzis complement the main pool, providing intimate retreats where guests can unwind to the sound of rustling olive leaves.
Finally, along the edge of the property stands the residential villa — a reinterpretation of the traditional Italian countryside estate. While the Renaissance villa was historically a symbol of leisure and rural pleasure, Imanha’s modern take preserves its essence through proportion and materiality. The raised first floor reinforces a sense of hierarchy, its circular symmetry evokes balance, and its refined materials and understated furnishings exude quiet sophistication.
Together, these spaces form a holistic narrative — one that intertwines architecture, nature, and experience. Imanha is not simply a destination, but a place where time slows, senses heighten, and the beauty of Valle de Guadalupe unfolds layer by layer.
