Casa Malca is the famous mansion once owned by Pablo Escobar. Nowadays it has been completely transformed into an art-filled hotel, with private rooms and suites, common outdoor spaces with a swimming pool and a restaurant and a bar runned by an Italian chef. The rooms are dressed with a colorful – and at times eccentric – collection of modern art (don’t miss the Bart Simpson bedroom). If you can’t stretch your budget to the Malca Suites, then try to plan your travel in Aug: you will have better prices at this time of the year.

It’s back to luxury basics at Encantada Tulum, where life’s simple pleasures are placed front and center. In their rooms and suites, every element has been lovingly crafted by local artisans. Holistic experiences range from yoga and meditation to pre-hispanic sound healing and heart-opening cacao ceremonies, but – if you ask us – horizontal afternoons under a shaded beach cabana work just as well. Passing from the incredibly great spa to the restaurant and bar, you will treat your senses during your stay in this 5-star boutique hotel.

Among Tulum hotels, La Valise Tulum is definitely one of the most beautiful and luxury. This 5 star hotel is located between lush jungle and a pearl-white beach, far from the city chaos. Their rooms, suites and outdoor spaces for its guests are designed to be thrown open to the sun, featuring white cream walls and stripped-wood furniture. Every service here practically begs you to slip into the lazy pace of Tulum life: hammocks in the private beach and the restaurants offering leisurely dinners of ceviche and Charadinhas (Tulum’s take on the Caipirinha). Just make sure you’re up in time for breakfast, which is sufficiently feast-like that it could be used to placate a Maya god.

This boutique hotel is not only for adults, so you and your family are more than welcome here.
