The stretch between Playa del Carmen and Tulum has quietly become one of the most interesting corridors for design-forward hotels, beautiful beaches, and genuinely good food. It’s not undiscovered, but it’s not what you picture when you think “resort town” either.

If you’ve been thinking about traveling to Tulum, then you know that the hardest part about planning this gorgeous getaway is finding the perfect spot to stay. I think I spent two weeks going through Airbnb listings before settling on Nahouse. Also, things go quick, so waiting too many weeks to book your stay isn’t recommended!
