Mid-century jungle lodge
Fifteen rooms surround a courtyard pool, framing 1950s Miami Beach modernism against the dense Quintana Roo jungle.
What it’s good at
Notable
Mid-century Miami lines shaped by custom geometric Guadalajara floor tiles in the jungle.
Listed
A casual poolside bar serving fresh cocktails on dyed-wicker loungers beside the courtyard.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Holistika's quiet jungle community borders the grounds, and central Tulum's street-food stalls are a short walk away.
The rooms
Woven hammocks hang in every room, and ground-floor suites add bathtubs opening directly to the garden.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 36-foot outdoor pool cuts through the central courtyard, flanked by turquoise Acapulco chairs and dense jungle trees.
Poolside Bar
Breeze blocks shade the open-air counter, built from bamboo and Zapote wood against a Mayan limestone wall.
At the table
Avocado toast and fresh drinks arrive on low side tables set directly beside the courtyard pool.
How it began
Architect Arturo Zavala Haag designed the building in 2016, reviving mid-century Miami architecture for Tulum's identical tropical climate.
