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 restaurant, the Real Coconut, offers excellent dishes prepared from the freshest local produce.

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.

Homeliness is the selling point of NEST Tulum, a relatively new addition to Tulum’s hotel zone. Here you’ll find beautifully – but simply – prepared cuisine, an unrivaled convivial atmosphere that doesn’t cross the line into overfriendliness and annoyance, all while nurturing an overall atmosphere of laid-back tranquility. Luxury and cosiness come together in perfect harmony at NEST Tulum, creating a boutique hotel that’s modern, fresh, and yet entirely familiar.

Cabañas Tulum is a very different cabaña experience to that at La Luna. Here you’ll find 24 spacious rooms complete with all the mod cons, with the option of added extras that are attentive to detail and practical, like yoga mats and beach bags. As this is the sister property of nearby The Beach Tulum, guests here can not only take advantage of the private beach swings, yoga classes and pool, but also The Beach Tulum’s spa and wellness center. A notch below full-blown luxury, Cabañas Tulum is the ideal middle ground for discerning travelers.
