Travel + Leisure 500 Best Hotels

In a year when travel – like everything else around the world – has been uncertain and tenuous, we took great care, established new protocols, and gathered a core team so we could open back up to our beloved guests in time for the holiday season.  We’ve been safely welcoming travelers through our doors ever since.  All this time, our mission has remained steady: to help connect you with the natural world and with peace, beauty, wellness, and adventure.

Operating amidst the challenges of this pandemic has made us ever more appreciative of our guests, the experiences they have when they come here, and all the things that make Florblanca so special.

This is why we are especially thrilled to be chosen by the readers of Travel + Leisure Magazine to be in the T+L 500, their list of the 500 best properties in the world.

We are among amazing company with this list.  It features properties of various styles, sizes, and designs from all around the world.  From eco-lodges to luxurious escapes to everything in between, this list is designed to be an inspiration and a resource for your next travel adventures.  You can read more about it here: Travel + Leisure 500.

Thank you to the readers and voters of Travel + Leisure, and to T+L for putting this beautiful list together.  The full list of winners can be found in the March 2021 print magazine.
