Chiringuito Tulum

Polished cement floors and a Mediterranean palette set this boutique hotel apart on a stretch of beachfront where every other property is leaning hard into boho-chic. Airy suites come with wide terraces, many with private pools and ocean views, and in-room Bose speakers that make staying in feel like a choice. Pathways shaded by palms lead down to a beach club and kitesurfing school, which is a refreshing swap for the yoga decks everyone else is offering.
