Architecture Emilio Heredia
Situated on a 900-meter stretch along the Mayan Riviera, the barefoot luxury camp has an urban spirit that encourages visitors to come together and be inspired. The thatch-roofed cabañas are ecologically built with local materials, including palapa roofing, wood/plaster composite walls, and bamboo window coverings. Each possesses a rustic charm while celebrating the luxury of simplicity.
Interior design Emilio Heredia
The rooms encourage residents to soak in the warmth of the elements, both physically and mentally. The separation between man and nature diminishes in these rustic spaces and the absence of electrical outlets becomes a welcome reminder to truly unplug. The ultimate luxury in most of the cabañas is the private porch, where hammocks swing guests in-sync with Tulum’s laidback rhythm.
