Tulum, the favorite Mexican vacation destination for fans, has enjoyed its moment in the international spotlight for a few years, and only continues to grow in popularity. While some cry in this coastal city that was once sleepy, others are delighted with the new developments, such as gourmet restaurants and boutique hotels. Speaking of which, here are the most out-of-this-world boutique accommodation options in Tulum.
Zamas
A well-known boutique hotel in the Tulum scene, the colorful Zamas is also home to one of the best restaurants in Tulum, Que Fresco! Zamas is a place that can really disconnect in Tulum, since the place works with generator power, telephones, air conditioners and televisions are expelled from the rooms, and Wi-Fi is limited to common areas. As expected, things in Zamas are simple, elegant and authentic, with thatched rooms and balconies with hammocks … and beds, of course.

Casa Malca
This elegant boutique hotel in the thriving resort of Tulum offers the perfect Caribbean coastal getaway. However, the property was once owned by Pablo Escobar, one of the most ruthless drug lords in the world and the theme of the popular Netflix Narcos series. The 42-suite property is currently owned by the New York-based art collector, Lio Malco.

Be Tulum
Be Tulum, one of the most exclusive hotels in Tulum, is definitely one of the best. Nestled between the opposite sides of Tulum, white sand beaches and a lush, green jungle, you will be treated with the best of both worlds in Be Tulum. This feeling of duality extends to decoration, which is both modern and fresh, but deliciously natural and simple, while subtly luxurious. A distinctive benefit of staying at Be Tulum is the on-site wellness center, Yaan, and the adults-only environment.

El Pez
Another of Tulum’s best exclusive accommodations is El Pez, part of the Colibri Boutique Hotel that has several properties in Tulum and its surroundings. Located on the rugged Turtle Cove, El Pez has been blessed with large windows and a bright and spacious atmosphere, which is complemented by the elegant ambience and authentic palapa roof restaurants. Pops of color illuminate the place, both inside and out, and its legendary Community Nights (which celebrate art and music) are something to contemplate.

NEST Tulum
NEST Tulum, known for its homeliness, is a relatively new addition to the Tulum hotel zone, owned by the excellent James Chippendale.

Luxury and comfort come together in perfect harmony at NEST Tulum, creating a modern, fresh and familiar boutique hotel.

Jashita Hotel
The Jashita Hotel, Italian-owned and environmentally friendly, is the epitome of Tulum’s boutique accommodation: with a design that seems taken from the pages of a magazine, Jashita is a modern modernity and a discreet luxury. If you’re lucky, you’ll be in a suite that offers views of the turquoise waters of the Caribbean coast of Tulum, as well as its green jungle, and even if you’re not … well, we’re sure you’re still quite impressed.
