The design for this resort embraces modern Mexican beach style and showcases the beauty of the Riviera Maya’s lush flora and fauna with open-air spaces, encouraging a deep, personal connection with Tulum’s distinctive landscape.

Using rich, natural finishes and bold colours, the project includes over 340 guestrooms and suites and all public areas, with nine restaurants, a state-of-the-art fitness center and gym, multiple pools, and a full-service spa.
