Tulum Wellness Hotels
Prana
Prana Hotel is a petite boutique hotelnestled in-between the busy Pueblo and white beaches. It is quiet in its presentation and you wouldn’t really know about it if someone hadn’t told you, which gives it this feel of privacy and exclusivity.
The hotel consists of 7 unique hotels rooms and 2 belle tents. The tents gives you the full glamping experience, close to the wild but still comfy with AC, private bathroom and double bed to sleep in. Prepare to be softly woken up by birds singing and a gentle glow from the sun through the tent.
If you are interested in doing yoga or running retreats the hotel offers a large thatched roof space for yoga, ceremonies and other types of classes. Read our review.
Zamas
Zamas is a small beach cabana hotel with thatch roofs, stucco walls in beach worn hues and vibrant tile decor. The rustic chic ambience exudes hammock culture.
Born of a romantic holiday in 1986, Zamas is a love affair with Tulum. Named after the mayan word zamá, meaning new beginning or sunrise, Zamas embodies the adventurous spirit of its namesake.
Playful design pairs naturally with the elements and two acres of sand, sea and coconut trees offer the perfect antidote to the mundane.
The hotel sits on a cove with a rock bluff, giving the beach one of the rare westward views of sunset over the jungle. Like a swimming pool when the water is calm, the cove is surrounded by rock and vegetation which make for good snorkelling. Read reviews.
