Habitas Tulum

Our Habitas Tulum is a beachfront eco-hotel of tents and rooms between the Mayan jungle and the Caribbean Sea, on Mexico's Riviera Maya. Thirty-two rooms make up the original Habitas Tulum, raised on elevated platforms so construction never disturbed the jungle floor, and built from indigenous materials with natural palapa roofs, canvas walls and outdoor rain showers. Furniture is handmade by local artisans from regional hardwood, and bath products are made on-site from coconut, avocado and honey. There are no televisions in any room; the property was designed around communal spaces instead, including a three-storey open lobby with long reclaimed-wood tables.

The kitchen at Moro, run by chef Horacio Dardano, sources organic vegetables from a greenhouse initiative in the nearby Xhazil community, supporting local growers. Habitas Tulum is entirely free of single-use plastic, a status recognised by Oceanic Global's Ocean Champion badge, and runs its own coral nursery contributing to the wider restoration of the Mesoamerican Reef offshore. Enjoy yoga in a jungle shala at Our Habitas Tulum, a temazcal ceremony in a clay dome, or a blissful swim out from the private beach.
