Sometimes we crave a beneficial escape from all aspects of ordinary life. Therefore, when you need an extraordinary holiday to reset your soul, these magical venues in Tulum can take you away from it all. The collision of jungle and glamour will submerse you in a unique and transformative experience unlike any other place on earth. Furthermore, these extraordinary venues in Tulum may encourage you to invest in your own luxury home.
Papaya Playa Project
Adventurers will adore the lively scene at Tulum’s Papaya Playa Project. Papaya Playa offers an energized beach experience with on-site water sports and kitesurfing. Additionally, the hotel’s tour center offers organized day trips and bike rentals. Music and dance enliven the evenings, and the spa and yoga studio will calm and restore you.
Local materials and building techniques imbue the spacious and airy rooms with the colors and contours of earth elements. Enjoy ocean views from the broad porch of your cabana.
Casa Malca
Contemporary art bridges the gap between luxury and nature and is the hallmark of Casa Malca. Instagrammable photo opportunities saturate the lobbies, restaurants, and suites, with featured works including Kaws, Vik Muniz, and Kenny Sharf.
Casa Malca began less than ten years ago as a small cluster of villas. Since then, it has quickly expanded to offer 71 suites that rivet the senses with floor-to-ceiling views of jungle and beach and three swimming pools.
Art aficionados will cherish the warm, quirky rooms that blend the prestige of velvet curtains and Persian rugs with forest gardens.
Three restaurants offer guests plenty of choices for every discerning palate.
Philosophy
The ambiance at Philosophy is billed as elegant and romantic yet incorporates “sarcastic” elements for those who delight in the unique. The menu fuses the local and traditional Mayan delicacies with European cooking styles.
Ambrosia
Meanwhile, Ambrosia presents high-class Asian cuisine in a cozy and quirky setting with featured art by Keith Haring. The architecture is eco-conscious, built entirely of recycled wood from Casa Malca’s renovations of the mid-2010s. Beachside seating is available.
Head of a Mad Man
Finally, the iconic statue, Head of a Mad Man, by Jean Michel Basquiat, grants its name to the beach club grill with Tulum’s best seafood.
For a pure and guilt-free treat, visit the rooftop Calma Spa. The staff reviews every product it uses to ensure that it is all-natural with no ecological impact.
Azulik
Romantic couples and singles who are truly willing to unplug will treasure an escape to Azulik. Atop spiraling wooden staircases, you’ll find extravagant palapas on top of stilts like treehouses nestled into the canopy of mangrove trees. Azulik has 48 unique palapas along the oceanfront, where guests will delight. There you will find amenities such as private hot tubs or plunge pools, where quick showers are shunned for the more tranquil experience of soaking tubs. Additionally, each room’s decoration includes unique Mayan artistry.
While outlets exist to charge your devices, this retreat allows nature to triumph over modern stress through eco-conscious design. Rooms come aglow in the evenings as the staff lights dozens of candles in each palapa in lieu of electric lighting. Ceiling fans and cool ocean breezes replace air conditioning, and wifi is limited to shared spaces.
Moreover, the supremacy of nature also extends to the beach, where clothing is optional along Azulik’s very private and secluded cove. In addition to the beach, guests can arrange for private cenote and jungle dinner tours.
House of Ancestral Medicine
Visitors to Azulik’s House of Ancestral Medicine can experience ancient Mayan healing rituals, such as the cleansing traditional Mexican sweat lodge ceremony called temazcal. Additionally, there is a spa that also provides beauty treatments, yoga classes, and meditation.
Kin Toh Restaurant
Azulik’s restaurant choices include the famous Kin Toh, specializing in contemporary Mexican and Mayan cuisine. Kin Toh is famous for its stunning “nests” of natural wood and bamboo tables perched on platforms in the treetops. These private nests are especially coveted for their sunset views of the jungle and sea.
Tseen Ja
Or, if you prefer to dine in nests floating above cool blue pools of water, visit Azulik’s Tseen Ja. This restaurant is highest-ranking for its exciting fusion of Japanese and Mexican culinary traditions. Thus, when you prefer a more casual vibe, Cenote will fit the bill as a farm-to-table restaurant that brings the tastes of the surrounding jungle to your plate.
Sfer Ik Museion
Azulik also serves its guests cultural and artistic experiences. Wander along elevated wooden pathways through the treetops. Or visit Sfer Ik Museion for a visual feast. Sfer Ik is a contemporary art museum that recently won the LCD Berlin Award for New Culture Destination of the Year in March 2022. It currently houses Mexx, a large, stunning structure of flowers by the inventor of botanical sculpture and floral artist Azuma Makoto of Japan.
