Caribbean cove showpiece
A breezy arrival pavilion opens onto reflecting pools, panoramic Caribbean vistas, and a tranquil cove ringed by palms and mangrove jungle.
“The lobby may have a few guests milling around—bohemian New Yorkers after some sun, families in from elsewhere—but you won’t even notice.”
Where it shines

Sixteen treatment casitas, an outdoor hydrotherapy circuit, and copal cleansing rituals led by a resident shaman.

Located just 15 minutes outside Tulum, Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya is an exclusive property in a private cove of the Mexican Caribbean.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Located fifteen minutes north of Tulum, the sheltered bay is surrounded by coastal jungle, mangroves, and calm waters ideal for snorkeling.
The rooms
Oceanfront balconies feature built-in relaxation tubs or plunge pools, complemented inside by Tzalam wood details and hand-painted jaguar murals.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Oceanfront swimming pools stretch between coastal jungle and the beach, flanked by shaded cabanas and sunken fire-pit lounges.
The spa
Boardwalks wind through jungle greenery to individual casitas, centered around a circular stone courtyard beneath an open oculus.
Hydrotherapy and gym
Submerged loungers rest inside the curved hydrotherapy pool, and the gym looks straight into dense jungle foliage.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Chiringuitos
These beachfront palapas serve fresh ceviche and grilled tacos on open-air timber decks right beside the waves.
Architecture focuses on indoor-outdoor living and evokes the region’s sacred cenotes with circular forms, stone and water, and winding pathways.
At the table
Dining ranges from live teppanyaki grills and Mediterranean mezze to guided agave tastings at the central lobby bar.
