Bespoke Tulum Hotel

With its golden sands, swaying palms and impossibly blue waters, Tulum is a firm favourite for sun-seekers. Making the most of its prime beachfront setting is Bespoke Tulum in Tankah Bay. While the setting is unmistakably tropical, the architecture is a bold, contemporary structure of stacked white cubes, reimagined by Mexican design firm Muro Rojo Arquitectura. Inside, discover well-equipped, spacious villas and apartments with one to four bedrooms. Choose from 22 design-led residences with handcrafted Mexican details, some with large terraces, plunge pools and sweeping ocean views, while kitchens and flexible living areas offer the comfort of home. Beyond, you’ll find a private beach club and infinity pool to while away the days, and restaurant Ícaro for Mayan inspired meals. You can extend the culinary experience with mezcal tastings, private dining or a Mexican cooking class with the head chef. If you find time to venture out, staff can arrange excursions, from jungle treks and cenote swims to tours of Tulum’s gastronomic and nightlife scene.
