Casa Cupula, Puerto Vallarta’s iconic luxury LGBTQ+ resort, has been recognized by HIP Hotels as a ‘HIP Hotel property,’ joining an internationally respected collection of the world’s most distinctive and inspiring places to stay. HIP Hotels—an acronym for Highly Individual Places—is a globally recognized authority dedicated to showcasing hotels that are truly one of a kind. This designation celebrates Casa Cupula not for conformity, but for uniqueness, soul, and a deep sense of place.

Well regarded as the best gay-owned boutique resort in Puerto Vallarta since 2002, Casa Cupula has become a sanctuary for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking not only excellence, but also the joy of belonging. It is not simply a place to stay; it is a destination in its own right. Having built a reputation for refined hospitality, deeply personal service, and architectural individuality, the hotel offers an atmosphere that feels both luxurious and genuinely welcoming.

Don Pickens, owner of Casa Cupula, shared, ‘When Casa Cupula was first imagined, it was meant to be a place where LGBTQ+ people could truly feel they belong and are at home. Being recognized by HIP Hotels, a brand that values individuality and soul, feels like an affirmation of that original vision.’ The designation also stands as a testament to the people who bring Casa Cupula to life each day. From guest services and events teams to the Gym & Spa, concierge, and operations, Casa Cupula consistently upholds a standard of excellence rooted in care, pride, and authenticity.

‘Casa Cupula’s team is known for welcoming every guest as a friend. Our passion is creating a warm environment where our guests can truly relax and escape the madness that is happening in the world,’ Pickens added. ‘From elegant 5-course dinners with internationally recognized performers to hot and sexy Pool Parties where everybody is beautiful, Casa Cupula offers something for everyone—including our new Bistro Gallery featuring Latin American art.’ The property blends design, comfort, and personalized, inclusive hospitality to create unforgettable experiences, as detailed on its official site at https://www.casacupula.com.

This recognition underscores the importance of safe, affirming spaces for LGBTQ+ travelers, particularly in destinations like Puerto Vallarta. It highlights how boutique resorts can foster community and belonging through intentional design and service.
