Soliman Bay sanctuary
A quiet Soliman Bay retreat where days drift between oceanfront sun loungers, kayak outings to the coral reef, and breezy beachfront palapas.
“It’s small and sophisticated, with 30 rooms and a refined, but low-key restaurant, Pandano.”

Italian linens, private plunge terraces, and hands-on hospitality from the founding Marchiorello family on Soliman Bay.

Jashita — perched on the shore of the Caribbean just up the beach from the pre-Columbian archeological site — is a small, sophisticated hotel
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Tucked ten minutes north of Tulum, the hotel fronts a calm, reef-protected bay where paddleboarders and snorkelers glide over tropical reef fish.
The rooms
Suites feature four-poster beds dressed in Italian linens, while higher-category terraces add private plunge pools overlooking the bay.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa and pools
Mahogany treatment pavilions host botanical herbal baths in wooden tubs, just steps from the turquoise swimming pools.
The gym
Glass walls surround the wooden fitness pavilion, where weights and cardio machines look straight into the jungle.
Pandano Restaurant & Beach Bar
Candlelit tables sit on the sand, and the palapa bar mixes fresh drinks beside hanging rope swings.
At the table
Chefs roll out fresh pasta daily, serving Italian dishes and Caribbean catch in an open-air beachfront pavilion.
How it began
The Marchiorello family bought the Soliman Bay property as a private vacation retreat in the 1990s before opening it to guests in 2010.
