An adults-only boutique hotel located on the beachfront in Tulum, Mexico, The Beach Tulum is the epitome of barefoot luxury at its finest. The unique property offers three types of luxurious accommodations (28 rooms total) on a wide stretch of the sandy beach: Deluxe Rooms, Junior Suites, and Rooftop Rooms—all include either private plunge pools or private rooftop hot tubs where guests can enjoy privacy while surrounded by natural beauty.

In addition to multiple dining options including a beach club and bar, the hotel also offers several wellness amenities ranging from a gym with jungle and pool views to yoga and Naj Naay Spa and Healing Center. Guests are welcomed into a world of well-being through different elements and invited to get closer to the roots of pre-Hispanic medicine. The spa’s medicine woman will guide guests though a wellness experience that utilizes all four elements (water, air, earth, and fire).

The spa’s treatments, which consist of relaxing and rejuvenating therapies that combine ancient rituals with cutting-edge services, are complemented by its healing circuit, a 60-minute experience that includes a sauna, steam room, cold water pool, heated pool, and Scottish shower to help maximize the benefits of the spa treatments. Treatment offerings include classical massages, Mayan and Ayurvedic therapies, botanic facials and body treatments, and more.

We interviewed Spa Manager Alina Gabriela Perez Alvarez to learn more about treatments to try, insider tips, and more.

Why You’ll Love It: Guests often mention the unique services on the menu and appreciate the attentiveness given by the staff. When entering the spa area, many guests comment how much they love the installations that reflect peace and tranquility in the environment, and the aroma of copal in the humid areas.

Key Features: The spa has a hydrotherapy circuit which consists of the use of the sauna, Scottish shower, steam room, and hot and cold pools. This circuit is complimentary with all therapies and treatments scheduled and guests are guided through it by our staff. Our menu has various categories including regular therapies, Mayan and Ayurvedic therapies, facial and body treatments, and more. We also have a gym equipped with treadmills, bikes, dumbbells, and pulleys.

Snacks Served: We serve hot and cold mint-infused water during each visit and locally sourced fruits are available for spa guests.

Insider’s Tip: We recommend booking spa services in advance, mainly the gym and hydrotherapy, which are shared but have a limited capacities to ensure privacy and these services are very popular with our hotel guests.

Bonus: The gym and hydrotherapy are services included for guests staying at The Beach Tulum and Cabañas Tulum Beach Hotel and Spa. All our hotel guests have a 15% discount on our therapies and treatments.

Splurge Treatment: We consider our Ayurvedic therapies such as Shirodhara and Abyhanga to be our most luxurious treatments. These therapies use hot oil mixed with therapeutic grade natural essential oils. The scents and infusions offered in this treatment are personalized based on an Ayurvedic test that the guest performs prior to the therapy. These Ayurvedic techniques offer health benefits such as revitalization of the nervous system and the senses, also balancing the blood tissue, improving, digestion and reducing stress levels.

Unique Treatment: We could say that our house massage, Naj Naay massage, is one of our best sellers. It is a signature treatment exclusive to our Spa. It’s a full-body treatment and includes the use of hot stones and aromatherapy using seven essential oils adapted to each chakra.

Insider’s Favorite: In addition to the house massage and Ayurvedic therapies, our guests enjoy our signature Mayan therapies which include full-body massages and energy cleanses with ancestral techniques from our Mayan culture. This alternative therapy includes the use of aromatic herbs with healing properties such as rosemary, sage and rue, which is an herb native to the region; and mezcal, as well as an auric cleansing with the sacred fire of the 100% natural resin of white copal. It is traditionally used in the region to harmonize energy.

Featured Products: We use facial and body treatments from the "Miguett" and "Natural Benefits" brands, two 100% Mexican companies with prestige in high-quality cosmetics. We also use products from the world famous DoTerra brand for the high quality of its therapeutic natural essential oils.
