Boho Beach

The jungle, the Caribbean Sea, the ruins, and the local architecture are the backdrop and magnificent canvas to this bohemian chic designed hotel where pure, elegant, stylish, and rustic are just a few of the feelings which Coqui Coqui Tulum exudes. Along a stretch of Mexico’s Mayan Riviera surf, the six room resort resembles a whimsical sandcastle that combines rusticity with relaxation. Built in 2003, this formula keeps A-listers and in-the-know travelers coming back for more. With a design as emblematic as the nearby ruins of Tulum, this cream colored beachfront stay has an ocean-inspired spa, breezy bedrooms and views of the shimmering Caribbean.

This unique and romantic resort- a true hidden gem- is where owners Francesca Bonato and Nico Malleville have created a look- in fashion speak- that is one part European chic- think Isabel Marant- and bohemian cool. Coqui Coqui also features an on-site boutique selling signature perfumes, soaps and candles, and their aromatic spa offers treatments that use local plants as ingredients. Casual and cozy, Coqui Coqui cafeteria’s diminutive kitchen serves up simple breakfasts and Mexican fare. While in Tulum, you may want to check out Hartwood, one of the newest dining dens in town, which is run by New Yorker’s. And if you are feeling adventurous- I’m not referring to that nearby coveted bikini bootcamp/ yoga retreat- the UNESCO World Heritage site Sian Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve sits on a stretch of protected land lined with lagoons and beaches and a section of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.  www.mrandmrassmith.com  www.hartwoodtulum.com
