"“Situated between Tulum’s powdery white sands and its lush jungle canopy, La Valise Tulum offers a boutique stay where rustic design meets contemporary luxury. The hotel’s 22 suites are split between oceanfront villas and jungle hideaways: On the beach, signature rolling beds slide onto private terraces so you can fall asleep under the stars, while in the jungle, plunge pools and sky showers offer secluded sanctuaries surrounded by palms. Guests can truly lean into the slow life here. Try sunbathing at the jungle pool, drifting into a relaxing treatment at the spa, or indulging in a candlelit dinner at NÜ Tulum, where a collective of chefs transforms locally sourced, organic ingredients into inventive dishes and cocktails that capture the flavors of the region.”" - Michaela Trimble
"An 11-room luxury beachfront boutique hotel on a calm stretch of South Tulum, celebrated for a dramatic second-floor master suite with a king-sized bed that rolls onto the terrace for stargazing to the sound of the surf. The property emphasizes laid-back luxury and curated activities—from snorkeling and mezcal tastings to yoga, Maya healing treatments, and cacao ceremonies—and hosts a distinctive restaurant listed in Mexico's Michelin Guide that highlights open-fire cooking with locally sourced ingredients." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.

"With the jungle on one side and a spectacular white-sand beach on the other, this beachfront villa plus a handful of bungalows feels like a slice of heaven, packed with modern comforts, traditional crafts, and the eclectic, bohemian design that Tulum is supposed to be all about." - Mark Fedeli
"A small, artistically styled bungalow hotel that blends Tulum's spiritual roots with bespoke couple experiences: offerings include Mayan-inspired ceremonies such as a moonlit Couples' Lunar Ceremony, a Couples' Fire Ceremony featuring a cacao massage and vow exchange, and a shaman-led Mayan Wedding Ceremony; guests can also enjoy guided artisanal mezcal tastings and private dinners on their room's deck." - Travel + Leisure Editors
