Location
It might be corny to say, but Tulum is a magical destination for inspiration and beauty. With its stunning white sandy beaches and the world's second-largest coral reef, Tulum is a paradise for beach lovers and snorkelers.
Immerse yourself in the wonder of sacred cenote pools and lush jungles, where you might spot sea turtles and even an elusive jaguar.
Rebecca Misner of Condé Nast Traveler said, "People don't just vacation in Tulum. They embark on personal journeys there."
Make of that what you will.
Design
The design pays homage to the region's natural beauty and artistry by using local materials like chukum, a stucco made from Mayan rubber trees, and re-imagined palapa thatched roofs. Woven reed lamps and tropical wood wall decorations resemble sculptural figures rather than simple accents.
Here, sustainability is at the forefront. The hotel implements a strict policy against single-use plastics, and waste is meticulously managed through composting and recycling. Eco-friendly toiletries, repellents, and reef-friendly sunscreen are all provided in the spirit of responsible tourism.
Rooms
The property is divided into two wings—one gracefully perched on the sandy beach and the other tucked amidst the jungle, mere moments away from each other. Both wings boast 11 rooms.
Imagine waking up in a beachfront room, greeted by either the hotel's lush garden or the vast expanse of the mesmerizing sea. Alternatively, the jungle rooms offer a secluded retreat, cocooned by vibrant greenery. Some provide enchanting views of the cenote-style pool below, creating a truly magical atmosphere.
Every room in La Valise is a masterpiece of design, embracing an earthy, beachy ambiance that instantly connects you to the soul of Tulum. And yet, each room surprises you with its distinctive features—from the luxurious treat of a private plunge pool to the serenity of a secluded terrace, creating an experience that is both luxurious and intimately personal.
The showstopper, however, has to be the Beachfront Master, which is described as the most majestic room in Tulum. Indulge in a regal slumber beneath the lofty 23-foot high (7 meters) hand-thatched palapa roof, majestically perched above a 1,000 square-foot (95 square meters) suite. The king-size bed rolls onto the expansive private terrace so that you can sleep under a blanket of twinkling stars.
Food & Drink
Treat yourself to contemporary Mexican cuisine with a hint of local inspiration at the on-site restaurant. Whether unwinding on the deck or lounging on a beach chair, relish the freshness of locally sourced ingredients and savor the lively flavors of fresh ceviches—perfectly complemented by the signature chia-mezcal cocktail.
There's also NÜ Tulum, a culinary destination featuring diverse and rare ingredients from the Caribbean Sea and the Mayan jungle. Under the skilled guidance of Chef Luis Aguilar, the team is dedicated to sourcing the best ingredients, upholding sustainable cooking practices, and constantly pushing the boundaries of flavor, which has earned NÜ the distinction of being one of the top five restaurants in Yucatan, according to Travel + Leisure.
