Everybody is talking Tulum
Tulum is the hottest holiday destination right now! First and foremost a beach destination — and for good reason! The beaches of Tulum are some of the best in the world alongside lush jungles, cenotes (caves with crystal-clear waters), gorgeous lagoons and importantly a crazy nightlife – think Bagatelle, Taboo, Bonbonniere and so much more. We have selected 5 of the Top Hotels for all budgets for that Mexican escape.
La Valise
For: A Secret Escape.

This ‘Villa’ is set on the white sands of the Yucatan Peninsula in Tulum, described as a sophisticated, exotically furnished Hotel with 11 rooms. A private oasis for its guests, the suites are designed with spacious bathrooms, luxury linens, and access to salt-water infinity pools, just steps from the sea. The main suite even includes a roll out bed, so you can enjoy the star-lit sky from the comfort of your sheets. La Valise is all about wellness. Offering many wellbeing improvement classes, to engage the mind, body and soul – from sound baths to snorkelling.
Azulik
For: Nature
Suspended among the trees on Tulums dramatic coastline, Azulik sits off route 15 next to some of the area’s most glamorous hotels and beach clubs, just a 10-minute drive from central Tulum. The town has modernised over the past few years and the main strip is now busy with excellent restaurants and popular bars. The town still aches with bohemian charm but having the option to escape to Azulik’s white sandy beach is a real bonus. The villas of AZULIK Tulum were designed to create an atmosphere for rest, where we limit technology to reduce its impact on the environment and our ability to get in tune with our surroundings.
