The 10 Best Hotels in Tulum for Coastal-Meets-Jungle Charm | Vogue

"“First built in the 1970s by an Austrian engineer, this spot still retains the charm of the unassuming beach town that once was. Olas Tulum is a tribute to the Tulum of yesteryear and an emblem of sustainability. Shaded by a coconut grove that was built over 50 years ago, the property rests at the border of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve and has just eight suites, each with whitewashed walls, handcrafted wood furniture, and breezy terraces that open to uninterrupted views of the sea. As an eco-conscious development, solar power, rainwater collection, and natural ventilation keep the property’s footprint light, while mindful activities such as yoga classes at an elevated shala and massages under the palms are designed with relaxation in mind. An extra perk of staying at such an intimate property is enjoying meals with other guests, especially breakfast: It’s served every morning at the outdoor communal table and always begins with steaming cups of organic ground coffee (sourced from the rainforest state of Chiapas) with crunchy granola and homemade breads.”" - Michaela Trimble
