Our Habitas Tulum
Tulum, Mexico
Tulum Beach
Vibe
A three-storey glass pavilion anchors sandy paths winding between dense jungle canopy and a secluded oceanfront beach club.
“Barefoot jungle sanctum”
Canvas-walled tents with palapa thatch roofs, outdoor showers, and a central three-storey glass-and-steel jungle pavilion.
Daily sunrise yoga, breathwork sessions, sound journeys, and Mayan clay treatments hosted on open-air jungle decks.
Beachfront DJ sessions, communal dining tables, outdoor cinema screenings, and mezzanine drinks looking out over the sea.
Set between the Mayan jungle canopy and a private Caribbean beach cove on the Tulum coast.
“Habitas Tulum is largely an open-air experience, going so far as to offer tented rooms with canvas walls, palapa roofs, and hardwood floors.”
Rooms
Elevated canvas tents feature palapa roofs, hardwood floors, and open-air rain showers surrounded by wild palms.
“This boutique hotel is made up of 32 ultra-luxe canvas tents, each about the size of a New York City studio apartment, ... topped with palapa roofs.”
Wellness
Open-air treatment decks host sound journeys and Mayan clay rituals, complemented by daily sunrise yoga and an oceanfront infinity pool.
Backstory
Originally conceived as a seasonal pop-up camp, the property evolved into a permanent retreat built with low-impact materials.
Eat & drink
Moro serves wood-fired dishes pairing Middle Eastern spices with local produce, while the poolside bar pours fresh juices and mezcal cocktails.
The neighborhood
Tucked along Tulum Beach, the retreat offers immediate access to the coastline while remaining insulated within coastal jungle.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
