The Grand entrance of Casa Malca is made up of an assortment of vintage wedding dresses, quilted, and draped, creating 30-foot tall curtains with velvet couches and chairs suspended by chains over layered Persian rugs. If there was ever a wedding worthy venue for a Houghton Girl this is definitely it.

Casa Malca was our second stop, a drastic difference from the open and rustic layout of the first resort. With both my boyfriend and I in creative fields, we were really excited to get an up close look at the famous art collection housed on the property. Casa Malca has recently expanded to 26 rooms, which are all surrounding the pool, looking out on the beach, or have their own private garden. The boutique hotel is built around the main entrance, formerly Pablo Escobar’s home!

"This look is so clean but feminine which is perfect for a Mexican Getaway. The tulle skirt is made up of pleated ruffles so I could roll it up in my suitcase and the silk cashmere tank is an elevated classic. This look can go from birthday dinner to beach elopement."

"The new dining room at Casa Malca adorned with raw wood and Keith Haring dining chairs is the perfect setting for a reception dinner or a post wedding day brunch. The light and the colors in here are selfie ready!"

As told to Nylon.com- Houghton Designer Katharine Polk let us in on her travel diary from her recent trip to Tulum, Mexico. Join her in the sun, surf, and sand, below.
After designing and shooting my collection for April’s Bridal Fashion Week, next up on the agenda was planning my birthday trip in June. I have an affinity for palm trees, beaches, and frozen drinks and didn’t want to travel too far since my schedule is so busy; an easy, short flight was a must! Tulum, Mexico, where I’ve been to before, made perfect sense then. I quickly found two hotels in which to split a 10-day trip with my boyfriend Michael Hooks. The planning had begun.
