The 8 Best Tulum Resorts & Hotels

Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa is undoubtedly one of the best all-inclusive resorts in Tulum. Tucked among the tropical gardens and white sand beaches of Tankah Bay, the AAA Four Diamond award-winning resort has everything needed for an unforgettable vacation. It offers gourmet dining options, unlimited top-shelf spirits, nightly entertainment, swimming pools, and a private beach area, just to name a few.

The expansive resort juxtaposes high-end contemporary design against impressive Mexican colonial architecture. Each room has a private terrace or balcony, marble bathrooms, a bottomless mini-bar, and 24-hour room service. If you're looking to unwind, head to The Dreams Spa by Pevonia, where you can create personalized spa products before indulging in a traditional Mayan spa ceremony. Or enjoy a quiet afternoon along the poolside in the secluded, adults-only section of the resort.

A wide array of family-friendly activities ensure guests of all ages enjoy their stay. There's a splash park and Explorers Club for Kids, on-site watersports and a Core Zone Club for teens, and tennis courts and fitness classes for adults. Guests can enjoy free WiFi, private beach cabins, and complimentary greens fees at the nearby Riveria Maya Golf Club. Plus, Dreams Tulum Resort is only minutes away from ancient Mayan ruins and Bohemian downtown Tulum, making day trips a breeze.

The Encantada Tulum Resort offers a private paradise for those who need an escape. Tucked along a secluded strip of Tulum Beach, the luxury boutique hotel is comprised of only eight guest rooms. Each suite offers an enviable beachfront location with modern amenities, exceptional service, and breathtaking views.

Unlike many all-inclusive resorts in Tulum, Encantada guests get a true sense of the coastal beach town. Explore the area's Mayan roots with a tour of a nearby archeological site, take a mythical trip to a hidden Yucatan cenote, or snorkel through the clear blue waters of the Caribbean Sea. There's even a five-day culture workshop for guests who want to take a deeper dive into the region's history, art, and mysticism.

For those seeking a truly restorative experience, the resort offers five-day wellness retreats celebrating the region's rich spiritual history. Recenter your mind and body with mindfulness activities like sound healing, cacao ceremonies, yoga flows, and akashic reading sessions. And don't forget to wine and dine at the locally-sourced NU Tulum restaurant before you go.

Colibri Boutique Hotels prides itself on its forward-thinking social and environmental responsibility program. Partnering with community-based organizations, they assist with beach clean-ups and nightly beach patrols to protect endangered sea turtles. The ocean conservation efforts and exceptional hospitality services of Colobri's Mezzanine Tulum Resort have earned it a praise in Forbes, Vogue, and other notable travel publications. Not to mention the welcome cocktails and a complimentary bottle of Mezcal guests receive upon arrival.

The secluded spa resort makes the perfect romantic getaway for an eco-conscious couple. All rooms offer sweeping views of the lush jungle or teal blue Caribbean waters, allowing you to soak in the beautiful surroundings from morning to night.

Spend your days unwinding with a cocktail in hand next to the freshwater swimming pool or snuggled up on a private sunbed at the beach. Dine al-fresco by candlelight at Mezzanine's award-winning Thai fusion restaurant before taking a romantic dip in the private hot tub back at your suite. Room service, 24-hour concierge, and airport transportation make for a stress-free stay you won't soon forget.

If your vacation plans revolve around spending time at the beach, book a stay at the Bahia Principe Grand Tulum all-inclusive resort. Perched along the azure blue waters of the Caribbean Sea, its private beachfront and three waterfront pools are guaranteed to put your mind at ease. Especially after a day filled with unlimited rounds at the Riviera Maya Golf Club or beauty and massage treatments at the Bahia Spa.

The Bahia Principe Grand Tulum resort itself has activities, entertainment, and guest services that allow every family member to create the Mexico trip of their dreams. Babysitting services, children's activities, and complimentary water sports equipment rentals keep the kids entertained while you enjoy nightly entertainment and unlimited libations. Guests also enjoy access to entertainment, a la carte restaurants, and spa services at the nearby Grand Bahia Principe Coba.

Feeling adventurous? Head to the two nearby archaeological sites to learn about the local history and culture. Or soak in the beauty of the surrounding waters with a scuba diving or sailing class from Scubaquatic. Upon your return, take advantage of the free WiFi throughout the hotel to send pictures and videos to loved ones back home.

If you're traveling for a bachelorette party or anniversary celebration, try an adults-only resort like The Beach Tulum Hotel. No kids mean better relaxation, fewer distractions, and activities and entertainment tailored to adult tastes. Located in the middle of Tulum's hotel strip, it's easy to explore the surrounding area by foot or bike too.

But with endless all-inclusive amenities at your fingertips, there's little need to set foot outside the resort. Begin your day with a complimentary yoga session and a la carte breakfast before unwinding with a spa treatment. Then enjoy the vibrant local culture with Mezcal tastings, cooking classes, and salsa dancing classes.

The Beach Tulum Hotel's twenty-eight beachfront accommodations, ranging from junior suites to private rooftops, are tailored towards privacy and relaxation. Ground floor rooms are located directly on the beach, each with a private plunge pool and beach beds. Spacious private terraces with hot tubs, sofas, and lounge chairs provide a romantic escape with a stunning view of the surrounding jungle.

Traveling in a large group? Whether it's a family reunion or a destination wedding, Colibri Boutique Hotels' La Zebra Beach Hotel and Restaurant please travelers of all ages. The sprawling beachfront resort is minutes away from teal blue lagoons, hidden cenotes, and impressive archaeological sites.

Adults can enjoy complimentary welcome cocktails and a bottle of artisanal liquor upon arrival before unpacking in a beachfront penthouse or deluxe junior suite. Then, immerse yourself in local culture with Yucutan sound healing, cooking classes, or an evening at the Chef's Table. But don't worry. There's plenty of beachfront fun for the kids too!
