The Prix Versailles, launched in 2015, honors the world's most striking commercial architecture. Presented annually at UNESCO headquarters, this year's top prize went to Chablé Resort & Spa in Chocholá, Mexico. Architects Jorge Borja and Paulina Morán created this architectural masterpiece, and it's easy to see why—it's truly breathtaking.
Situated in a tropical forest in Mexico's Yucatán region—a pristine paradise along the Caribbean Sea—this area is renowned for its natural parks and rich biodiversity. Borja and Morán masterfully blend ultra-modern architecture with the wild surroundings, using shapes, colors, and materials inspired by ancient Mayan culture. The result is an exceptional harmony that beckons travelers to Mexico immediately.
