Setting

Belle of the beachfront

An earthier take on upscale Tulum beach hotels, Nest Tulum makes a nature-first style statement underlined with eco principles. It has 13 artfully appointed rooms and a private villa, all with shared use of the hotel’s own stretch of beach, peppered with cabanas and palms, and freshened with tropical breezes and Caribbean sea spray. The ‘nest’ theme is carried throughout, from the root-woven light fittings to the cabana thatch, which, together with Mexican antiques and custom-made pieces from local woodworkers, results in an aesthetic that lands just the right side of rustic. The swim-friendly waters off Tulum Beach are just a few steps away from your lounger, and you can day trip out to swim with turtles in a cenote, cycle through jungle landscapes, or discover ancient ruins, before returning to your nest to enjoy hospitality that’s both respectful and restorative.

Our Favourite Rooms

Driftwood and thatch feature heavily (yet tastefully), and although the water has its obvious charms, the jungle-set Tuluk rooms were designed and built with traditional Mayan methods of using hand-laid stone, Chukum walls and local natural woods. It’s the real deal.

Hotel Restaurant

Nest is all about refined simplicity and nowhere is this more apparent than in the elegant dishes. Beachfront Living Room Restaurant and Bar serves colourful salads, quesadillas and tacos with unique Mexican spirits, wines, and custom cocktails. Nests’ sister property, Nü is located on the jungle side and offers modern Caribbean cuisine with a focus on sustainability and local ingredients. Enjoy fresh catch fish with creamed yuca and Vasva sauce, lemongrass rock cornish, and unique custom drinks, as rays of hazy light spill in through the foliage. For a more casual dining experience, the hotel’s bar and lounge have you covered. Sample a panoply of fresh local flavours while enjoying the sound of laid-back jungle beats.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Exuding deep Yucatan spirituality, Nest Tulum takes an embodied approach to its extra-curricular offerings, with a focus on healing and rejuvenating experiences. Start the day in alignment with a private yoga class, followed by a detoxifying volcanic mud ritual and topped off by an afternoon Margarita at the hotel’s beachfront bar (life’s about balance, after all). If you’re feeling bold, Nest’s sacred cacao ceremony brings ancient Mayan traditions straight to your doorstep. Speaking of Mayans, just a short drive away, you’ll find the ruins of a 13th-century Mayan settlement. Built to face the rising sun, these majestic stone structures are enveloped in exotic flora and set against the Caribbean coast, making it a sine qua non for happy snappers and history buffs alike. Cool off in Tulum’s Grand Cenote, a crystal ocean inlet filled with tropical fish, try your hand at kayaking, snorkelling or fly fishing or explore Sian Ka’an biosphere reserve to sample the unadulterated natural wonders of Tulum in the company of dolphins, sea turtles, big cats and exotic birds. Or simply lie back and float through the mangroves on the reserve’s ‘lazy rivers’.
