Whitewashed walls, mid-century furnishings, and a house party vibe — kids and adults make new best friends while hanging around the pool eating as much guacamole as possible. It's just twenty minutes north of Tulum, so you can hop into town for lunch without straying too far from this super private, boho-chic hotel.

Quiet, chic and intimate 14-room boutique hotel no one knows about. It stands alone on Soliman Bay and delivers on contemporary luxury while hinting at Tulum's roots (there's a Shiva in the entryway and indigenous limestone throughout). If you're with a group (up to ten), you can rent their standalone Villa Jasmine.

Located ono Sian Ka'an nature reserve park. There's a hip-cool-urban vibe and the resort doesn't allow children under 12, but it's no less charming than its neighbors. The vibe is very designy, Philippe Starck, I'm-here-to-be-seen-in-my-white-bikini.
