What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Tago Tulum, with its close-set suites surrounded by wild greenery and its splendid little stretch of white-sand beach, combines modest size and thoughtful luxuries to create a cloistered, serene little world.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Tulum's beach road runs just outside the gates, putting rustic dining and open-air cocktail bars within an easy walk.
The rooms
Canopy beds face the sea in Ocean Front suites, and every room opens onto a private plunge pool or jacuzzi.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The spa
A light wood dry sauna and steam room sit within the spa pavilion, where treatments use organic products.
At the table
Tables sit directly on the sand for coastal Mexican cooking, and the open-air bar serves cocktails under timber ceilings.
How it began
The name comes from the Esperanto word for day, chosen around the idea that every stay should feel singular.
