Handcrafted stilt cabañas
Raised wooden cabañas sit above the sand dunes, built from local timber to leave the coastal vegetation undisturbed.
What it’s good at
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Delek walks this line expertly, with cabañas that feel hand-crafted and open to the elements, even as they afford all the comforts contemporary travelers crave.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tulum's Boca Paila beach road runs right outside, bordered by lively beach clubs and open-air jungle restaurants.
The rooms
Timber cabañas are furnished with woven Mexican textiles under thatched palapa roofs. Oceanfront suites add private terraces facing the sea.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Beanbags line the rooftop deck, where a plunge pool looks out past palm trees to the Caribbean Sea.
The spa
The yoga studio
Morning yoga sessions face the sea through sliding glass doors, with classes covering Vinyasa and Kundalini fusion.
At the table
Tatewari cooks regional Mexican dishes over open flames, with tables set directly on the sand beneath the palms.
How it began
The name comes from the Tibetan greeting Tashi Delek, translating to a wish for infinite blessings along your path.
