Hotel Casa Violeta (Tulum, Mexico)

A boutique property built right on the white sands of Tulum Beach, Casa Violeta offers elegant accommodation and a range of holistic therapies for those looking to reconnect to something other than their smartphones. Featuring local works of art and thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, the rooms here are a haven of peace and tranquillity. Typical in-room amenities include four-poster beds with mosquito nets, private sea-view terraces, and cooling fans. Wellness is the defining feature of this property, with a very wide range of beauty and therapeutic treatments available on site. Specialised retreats are also arranged. Guests can even indulge in a spot of shopping at the boutique, which features a range of goods made by local artisans. Boasting a creative menu full of Italian, Mexican, and fusion dishes, the in-house restaurant is just as popular for its location on the beach as for its delicious food. The ancient Mayan city of Tulum is nine kilometres from Casa Violeta.
