Curator’s statement
Sana Tulum is a retreat for those who crave a balance of seclusion and connection. Nestled on the quieter southern end of Tulum, it offers a refined escape with serene beachfront views. The property has an intimate, Moroccan-inspired architecture and a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere. Days unfold effortlessly — mornings begin with the sound of waves just beyond a private terrace, afternoons invite slow, indulgent meals with fresh seafood and wood-fired dishes and evenings are best spent unwinding under the glow of lantern-lit riads. It’s the kind of place that allows you to reset, soak in the beauty of the Caribbean and still be just a short taxi or beach walk from Tulum’s more well-known vibrant dining and nightlife scene.

Morrocan Beauty; Stunning Riad
The onsite dining experience is a highlight, with a menu that showcases Mediterranean and Caribbean flavors. Artisanal homemade focaccia, wood-fired pizzas and fresh-caught fish are all prepared in a signature stone oven, filling the air with fragrant spices and ocean breezes. The beach club is the perfect spot to spend a leisurely afternoon, whether relaxing on a sunbed or shaded lounge while sipping a bottle of white wine on ice. The guacamole is a must-try, and for those who enjoy a little heat, the house-made habanero spicy crème sauce adds an unforgettable kick to any dish.
The beach club itself is a tranquil escape, with handcrafted cocktails served at a Moroccan-inspired bar and gourmet bites delivered straight to the water’s edge. The combination of soft white sands, turquoise waters and peaceful surroundings creates a setting that feels like a private paradise.
Tulum's best guac; Sana's vibrant beach club
Staying at Sana Tulum means enjoying the best of both worlds — serenity and seclusion when desired, with easy access to the energy of Tulum’s buzzing dining and nightlife scene just a short drive or bike ride away. It’s an ideal choice for those looking to unwind in style while still being within reach of everything Tulum has to offer.
