Be Tulum Hotel

This tranquil boutique hotel sits in a prime location on one of the most beautiful stretches of beach on the Mayan Riviera, nestled between forest and ocean.

With open-sided walls (with closeable glass doors and screens), raw wood or polished concrete walls, basins whittled from giant hunks of tree, and a lush jungle and beach setting, this boutique is quintessential Tulum back-to-nature, barefoot chic.

There are private decks with plunge pools or jacuzzis, and the air sings with cicada and tree frog calls and plenty of public spaces for mooching and reading when you’re bored of lazing on the beach.

There’s a decent spa and a small swimming pool and the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve is literally on the doorstep. Children over 13 only.
