"Opened in 2022 and set in a palm-crowded bay north of Tulum, this luxurious resort offers plush amenities including five pools, an in-house shaman, and an expansive spa with services that incorporate traditional herbs. There are five restaurants and six bars on property, with highlights including the teppanyaki grill Kengai and Autor, a fine-dining tasting-menu venue that the Michelin Guide singled out for a tasting menu that "draws on ancient local traditions while simultaneously modernizing and elevating the dishes." Dining typically costs extra, though the "Flavors of Tulum" package can provide unlimited food and drinks; the resort has four accessible rooms, is family-friendly, and rates start at $433 per night." - David Shortell David Shortell David Shortell is a journalist based in Mexico City.

"The resort's executive chef, Alan Carias, frames milpa expansively and emphasizes its cultural breadth: “Even for Mexicans it’s hard to understand what milpa is,” Carias says. “When we talk about milpa, we think it’s just maize — but milpa isn’t just what we grow. It also consists of meat, seafood, and fruit. It’s everything we eat, it’s the entire diet.” He links milpa to a larger ecosystem and cultural knowledge that is often underdocumented in formal culinary training." - Ximena N. Beltran Quan Kiu
"Though this luxury resort is only located about 13 miles north of Tulum’s downtown near Akumal, it feels a world away. While most Tulum properties are boutique hotels by nature, mostly due to the limited availability of land, this hotel, with its 349 guest rooms, is sprawling. Withn the grounds, guests can spend their time at the cenote-inspired spa or lounging in one of five swimming pools. There are also 11 on-site restaurants and bars, ranging from a sushi bar to a Mediterranean restaurant with small plates inspired by the flavors of southern Spain and North Africa." - Michaela Trimble
