Best luxury hotels in Tulum

Our Favourite

Hotelito Azul is our favourite luxury pad in Tulum for several reasons. Firstly it's right on the beach, secondly it's got three separate dining options and last but certainly not least the rooms and suites ooze boho-chic style. It's a winner on so many fronts!

For great value

It's always difficult to highlight the great value options when you're talking luxury. However Ana y Jose Hotel offers an excellent beachfront location, service that never disappoints and an exotic spa with an exciting range of treatments.

Pet Friendly

Hotelito Azul welcomes pets at very reasonable additional rates.

For a boutique Hotel

Olas Tulum is a boutique eco-hotel set on its own private beach. With just seven rooms, it's an intimate choice. Interiors have a Caribbean chic vibe, with dark woods complemented by plenty of floaty white linens. A romantic hideaway.
La Zebra is another boutique beachfront property. The sixteen rooms are contemporary in style and the hotel is renowned for its modern Mexican cuisine and laid back atmosphere.

For a room with a balcony

The Beach is a stunning beachfront hotel which embodies boho-chic style! All rooms come with a private terrace and either a plunge pool or hot tub.
La Valise is another intimate resort with beach frontage. Its beautiful suites offer high palapa roofs, local artworks and all have a private terrace, deck or balcony for soaking up either garden or sea views.

For a swimming pool

Some of the beach front properties in Tulum don't bother with a pool, but at BE Tulum, you can choose between the two; and the best suites come with their own!
At Casa Malca they have three pools for you to choose from (including a sultry subterranean number in the spa!). As well as being right on the beach.
Jashita is another property where you get to decide between off-the-beaten-track beach or stunning pools — our favourite is the infinity pool at the rooftop Thousand and One Terrace where you can also enjoy a refreshing cocktail or two!
