Boutique Hotels in Tulum That Are Out of This World

This luxurious hotel and wellness center overlooks a long stretch of white sand and the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. With a name that means “you will heal” in Spanish, the hotel is explicitly focused on wellness and relaxation. As part of this philosophy, the location boasts a spectacular yoga studio that overlooks the ocean and contributed to the hotel winning the 2015 National Competition for Architecture and Interiors for Hotels. Sanará’s 19 suites, rooms and private villa blend harmoniously with the surrounding environment. The hotel’s restaurant, the Real Coconut, offers excellent dishes prepared from the freshest local produce.

The self-proclaimed most exclusive boutique hotel in Tulum, Be Tulum is most definitely one of the best. Snuggled in between the opposing sides of Tulum itself – white-sand beaches and lush, verdant jungle – you’ll be treated to the best of both worlds at Be Tulum. This feeling of duality extends to the décor, which is at once modern and fresh, yet delightfully natural and simple, all the while being subtly luxurious. A distinct benefit of staying at Be Tulum is the onsite wellness center, Yaan, and the adults-only atmosphere.

Forming part of the Colibri Boutique Hotel Company, which has several properties in and around Tulum, the Mezzanine Colibri is one of the region’s most impressive hotels. This luxury beachside venue offers gorgeous views of the ocean, and the chic interior design gives the place a bright, welcoming vibe. The hotel restaurant is run by Garn Surasak, a chef from Thailand, who produces a fascinating blend of Thai and local cuisines.

Another of Tulum’s top exclusive accommodations is El Pez, part of the Colibri Boutique Hotel Company that have several properties in and around Tulum. Situated in craggy Turtle Cove, El Pez is blessed with large windows and a light, airy feel, which is complemented by the chic atmosphere and authentic palapa-roofed restaurants. Pops of color brighten up the place, both inside and out, and its legendary Community Nights (which celebrate art and music) are something to behold.

Alaya Tulum offers stunning palapa-roofed cabins near the beach. Each suite comprises a spacious bedroom with handcrafted furniture and exposed wooden flooring, with a bed facing the sea. The ecofriendly hotel also has an excellent restaurant, with ingredients sourced from the local area so as to reduce its environmental impact. Guests enjoy their food near the beach, in a beautiful garden setting. The hotel will even provide you with a private yoga session or massage in the comfort of your own deck. And if all this relaxation sounds a bit too much, the hotel also has a jungle gym, with weights and other equipment made from natural materials.

Situated in secluded Soliman Bay, the Italian-owned, eco-friendly Jashita Hotel is the epitome of Tulum boutique accommodation – with a design that looks to be lifted from the pages of a magazine, Jashita is all airy modernity and understated luxury. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in a suite which offers views over the turquoise waters of Tulum’s Caribbean coastline, as well as its verdant jungle, and even if you’re not… well, we’re sure you’ll still be pretty darn impressed.
