Holistika
"Why book? In the heart of the jungle, this boutique hotel and holistic center offer a respite rooted in transformation. Set the scene: Guests of this hotel often eschew the late-night parties on Tulum’s beach road in favor of the property’s vast wellness programming, from kundalini yoga and breathwork classes to cacao ceremonies and sound baths. This hotel is for serious yogis and travelers looking to prioritize their wellness—don’t expect to party here. Instead, expect to gather around the rectangular outdoor pool by day and enjoy live music around the property’s fire pit by night. The rooms: Each of the 24 guest rooms is peaceful and minimalist, with an added option to stay in a communal bunk bed house known as the Beehive. Food and drink: The property’s restaurant, Tierra, offers light vegetarian cuisine for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Meals include acai and cacao bowls for breakfast, Beyond Meat hamburgers for lunch, and sourdough, wood-fired pizzas for dinner. The spa: Holistika offers a full schedule of daily yoga classes held at its several yoga shalas, ranging from Hatha and vinyasa to kundalini and acro yoga. The property also hosts temazcal sweat-lodge ceremonies, cacao ceremonies, and offers craniosacral and deep tissue massage treatments. The neighborhood/area: This property is tucked away in the jungle behind the Tulum Pueblo. The service: Relaxed, laid-back service. Most of the focus is on the property’s wellness offerings, which include a full schedule of complimentary yoga. Anything left to mention? In collaboration with the Tulum Art Club, the property offers a self-guided art walk where colorful, psychedelic murals are spread throughout the jungle." - Michaela Trimble
