Its minimalist decoration makes way for the soothing sounds of the ocean with fine and delicate details like a light water fountain, its lighting is subtle, the elegance of its furniture and tables with simple lines.

Aramara (which means “sacred place next to the ocean” in huichol tongue) captures the true flavor of world cuisine in new proposals that require as well as the traditional methods as innovating techniques while using ingredients from the indigenous culture of the region.

 

 

In other words it combines the simplicity of current Asian cooking with fresh earth products and shellfish from the west pacific Mexican coast.
