01 · In a sentence

Alaya Tulum in Q.R., open FebruaryMay.

Alaya Tulum opened in 2019 as a boutique beachfront hotel on the celebrated Tulum coast, built with sustainable architecture and locally-sourced materials to preserve the region's natural landscape.

The property was designed from inception to host intimate celebrations, featuring open-air ceremonies overlooking the Caribbean and elevated reception spaces that take advantage of year-round ocean breezes.

With 47 rooms across 5 acres of beachfront property, the venue offers a self-contained resort experience where guests can celebrate for multiple days without leaving the grounds.

Perfect location within walking distance to many amazing restaurants. Staff were all very lovely and attentive. We had the room with a kitchenette and dining area which was great. Very spacious room even with the added bed for our child. Place is small, quaint and feels family run. Unique given the bigger places that are popping up on the beach zone. Included breakfast was nice with several options. Morning drinks to our room were a nice touch daily. We will return!
