Tulum: stunning beaches, trendy restaurants, and ancient Mayan ruins – it’s no wonder everyone’s flocking there. But finding a place to relax that isn’t overrun with tourists can be a challenge. Enter Kan Tulum, my new favorite hideaway. This place wasn’t just a hotel, it was an otherworldly adventure of its own.

Imagine stepping off the bustling main strip into a lush jungle paradise. Talk about a mood switch! From the open-air lobby with its ambient music to the palm trees practically growing into our room, it felt like stepping into a chic treehouse. It was so fun to explore because there was something unexpected around every corner- winding staircases that lead up to the ‘nests’, hidden hammocks made for relaxing, and even a private cenote.

Jungle Sanctuary with Modern Perks: Our room was an extension of the jungle, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors. Each suite also has its own private balcony. Think waking up to the sound of birds chirping and the breeze rustling the leaves – way better than any alarm clock! Plus, the king-sized bed was massive and comfy, and the spacious bathroom with a rainfall shower was like a spa – perfect for pampering after a day of exploring.

But here’s the best part: Even though Kan Tulum felt like a secluded oasis, we were literally steps away from all the Tulum action. Trendy restaurants with killer tacos? Check. Cute little shops to find the perfect Tulum-inspired outfit? Check. And of course, the beach with water so turquoise it looked fake? Absolutely.

Mornings Made Easy: Our days were a perfect mix of relaxation and adventure. Mornings started with a dip in the pool surrounded by the jungle canopy. Speaking of mornings, Kan Tulum also took care of breakfast. We’re talking delicious, healthy options (think fresh fruit, local ingredients). Plus, the poolside lunches were Instagram-worthy – and tasted even better!

Adventure Awaits (and Relaxation Follows): Afternoons were all about exploring the Mayan ruins, getting lost in the Tulum markets, and soaking up the sun on the beach. But the best part? Knowing that after all that fun, we could retreat back to our little jungle sanctuary for some peace and quiet. There is also a fabulous spa onsite if you want to go the extra mile

Kan Tulum wasn’t just a hotel, it was an experience. It was the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, with a healthy dose of jungle vibes thrown in for good measure. So, if you’re looking for a place to chill in Tulum that’s close to the action but feels a million miles away, this is your spot. Trust me, you won’t regret it!
