Kore Tulum Retreat And Spa Resort

Located in the Hotel Zone near ancient ruins, Kore Tulum is one of the few all-inclusive adults-only resorts in the area. Rooms here feature jetted tubs and marble floors. The resort’s cliffside location means sunrise views directly over the Caribbean Sea without the beach crowds.

La Zebra Tulum

La Zebra strikes a balance between playfulness and polish. Families especially like the spacious split-level suites, while couples head straight for the beachfront plunge pools. On Sundays, a live salsa band plays right next to the bar, and the beach here is surprisingly uncrowded for Tulum.

Maya Tulum

Maya Tulum is one of the town’s original wellness resorts, welcoming yoga retreats since the 1980s. It sits on a peaceful beach near Sian Ka’an. Simple beachfront palapas come without Wi-Fi, and the menu focuses on vegetarian dishes, fresh smoothies, and herbal tonics.

Holistika Tulum

Hidden further inland, this creative retreat focuses on art and plant-based living. The vegetarian restaurant uses ingredients grown on-site in its permaculture garden. Guests can wander a sculpture trail through the jungle or join workshops on painting and astrology whenever they like.

Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa

Sitting just 15 minutes from the Tulum ruins, this all-inclusive resort caters to both couples and families with its split sections. There’s a full-scale water park, a kids’ explorer club, and 9 restaurants. The colonial-style architecture nods to classic haciendas (estates) found across the Yucatan.

Hotel Esencia

Hotel Esencia spans a 50-acre estate once owned by Italian nobility. Suites contain mid-century furniture, and the spa uses handmade herbal treatments sourced from the Yucatan. It’s one of the only Riviera Maya hotels that has an on-site Cold Pressed Juice Lab and sound therapy dome.

Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club

Secrets Tulum opened in 2023 with two distinct spaces: a lush jungle resort and a beach club seven minutes away. The rooms feature suspended nest chairs and custom aromatherapy menus. The property even partners with local artists for rotating exhibits inside its open-air lobby.

Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort

Located inside a secluded bay, this Hilton property spans 735 rooms. It’s the brand’s largest resort in the Caribbean. Visitors can explore 8 pools, a wellness center, and a family zone with supervised programming. It’s ideal for travelers seeking to balance luxury with kid-friendliness.

Kai Tulum Hotel

Kai Tulum is situated beside Playa Paraiso and utilizes solar panels to minimize its environmental impact. Each bungalow includes a thatched roof made from native palm and has no TV. The hotel’s on-site restaurant serves catch-of-the-day seafood brought in by fishermen in the nearby harbor.

Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya

Located in a protected bay inside the Xcacel-Xcacelito reserve, Conrad Tulum sits steps from a sea turtle sanctuary. The mezcal bar stocks over 200 small-batch varieties from independent producers, and guests can book temazcal ceremonies led by local healers trained in ancient Mayan rituals.

Be Tulum

Be Tulum mixes sleek design with nature. Imagine jungle paths and private plunge pools, with raw wood details. Rooms here intentionally skip TVs and clocks. The fine-dining restaurant, Ocumare, focuses on elevated Mexican cuisine and regional flavors using local ingredients.

Ahau Tulum

Ahau is best known for that towering wooden sculpture at its entrance, created by artist Daniel Popper. The beachfront cabanas are eco-conscious, running on solar power, and designed to maximize the ocean breeze. It’s also home to Raw Love, one of Tulum’s most popular vegan cafes.

Our Habitas Tulum

Habitas operates on a community-first model, offering guests the opportunity to participate in breathwork sessions, sound baths, and fire circles, all included in their stay. The canvas-and-wood rooms are concealed behind dunes and lit by lanterns. It’s not about luxury in the usual sense but about connection and shared experience.

Mezzanine Tulum

This boutique spot sits right above the beach with killer views and strong Thai food. Chef Garn Surasak brings in fresh lemongrass and galangal weekly. It’s small and adults-only, with espresso machines in every room and one of the most photographed infinity pools in town.

Nomade Tulum

Nomade leans spiritual but without the pretension. There are cacao ceremonies and full moon circles to join here. The decor mixes Berber rugs with local textiles, and the beachfront restaurant, Macondo, skips menus entirely. Meals change daily based on what’s fresh from the garden and the sea.

La Valise Tulum

La Valise has only 22 rooms, and half of them are situated right on the sand. One room even has a king bed that can roll out onto the terrace for open-air sleeping under the stars. Art from local creators hangs throughout, and breakfast always includes handmade tortillas.

Amansala Yoga & Wellness Resort

Known for its “Bikini Bootcamp” program, this beachfront retreat puts wellness at the center of the stay. Guests can participate in sunrise hikes and circuit training sessions, or choose nutrition workshops between beach breaks. Rooms use local stone and driftwood accents, with ocean breezes in place of air conditioning.

Azulik Tulum

With no electricity in the rooms and no Wi-Fi, this place fully disconnects you. Elevated wooden walkways weave through the jungle canopy to reach villas and galleries. Azulik also houses IK LAB, a contemporary art space that’s drawn international attention for its surreal architecture.

Casa Malca

Once owned by Pablo Escobar, this beachfront estate now operates as a luxury art hotel. The walls showcase works from Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Guests can also walk through dramatic curtain-draped hallways and sip cocktails beneath chandeliers hung in the sand.

Tiki Tiki Tulum

Set back in the jungle in Aldea Zama, this 15-room boutique hotel channels retro Miami design with terrazzo floors and bold blue tile. It’s adults-only, bike-friendly, and has a laid-back pool scene. The honesty bar there works on the honor system—just grab a drink and mark it down.

Coco Tulum

Known for its iconic black-and-white beach swings, Coco Tulum attracts surfers and digital nomads alike. Accommodations range from simple beachfront cabins to airy tower suites. The property also operates on wind and solar power, using filtered wastewater systems that help protect the nearby reef.

Papaya Playa Project

Part eco-resort, part cultural venue, this property stretches across nearly a kilometer of private coastline. Every month, full-moon parties hosted by international DJs light up the beach. Accommodations include thatched treehouses and oceanfront casitas built with sustainable materials from the Yucatan region.

Hotel Bardo

Set in the jungle near downtown Tulum, this adults-only hideaway blends raw concrete with lush design. Each villa includes a plunge pool and open-air shower. Travelers come here for the sound healing nights and mezcal tastings around a fire pit that burns ‘til late.

Muare Tulum

Muare feels hidden away, even though it’s just off Avenida Kukulkan. The domed villas use natural stone and curved lines inspired by sacred geometry. Its on-site restaurant, Gaudea, focuses on wood-fired cooking, and live jazz shows light up the garden every week after dark.

Mi Amor Colibri Boutique Hotel

Built on a rocky cliff just north of Playa Paraiso, Mi Amor has just 20 rooms and a distinctly grown-up vibe. There’s a retro touch to the design—think rotary phones and rich pops of velvet. Chef Paul Bentley leads the kitchen, known for its creative French-Mexican fusion dishes.
