The Perfect 7 Day Boutique Escape in Tulum

After arriving in the laid-back, bohemian paradise of Tulum (you can fly into Cancun (CUN) airport, a 1.5 hour drive from Tulun, or you can fly into the Tulum airport (TQO)), you'll check into your luxurious, boutique hotel, and have time to freshen up before a dinner at the hotel restaurant. You will relax after traveling, and prepare for the adventures ahead in this magical corner of the Riviera Maya.

Spend a glorious day of relaxation indulging in your hotel's sumptuous amenities - lounge by the sparkling pool or beach. As the evening falls, you'll experience modern Mexican cuisine at its finest, at ARCA - an architectural masterpiece where inventive dishes are artfully plated using fresh, locally-sourced ingredients.

Plan a private tour and prepare to be awestruck as you explore the majestic ruins of Chichen Itza, the ancient Mayan city that reigns as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. After marveling at the iconic step-pyramids you will visit the town of Valladolid for some shopping.

Escape the midday heat by taking a refreshing dip in the crystalline underground pools of a secluded cenote. After the cenote, prepare to be transported to a Mayan village, and eat an authentic, homemade meal just for you.

Claim your own slice of tropical paradise by lounging on a beachfront cabana, where attentive servers will keep you hydrated with cool drinks and fresh coconuts. As the sun sets over the turquoise Caribbean, you'll Experience Tulum's unique, bohemian-chic dining scene at Hartwood, a rustic, open-air restaurant, using a distinctive wood-fired oven and grill.

Start your day with an adventurous private cenote tour, swimming and snorkeling through the subterranean rivers and caves of these ancient natural sinkholes. Afterwards, immerse yourself in the heart of Tulum's art scene, by exploring its charming boutiques, art galleries and markets of the traditional downtown area. Be sure to stop for an authentic lunch, sampling mouth-watering food at Taqueria Honorio.

Pamper your body and soul with a rejuvenating spa day designed to leave you feeling refreshed and radiant. Indulge in treatments using botanical ingredients and ancient Mayan techniques, before spending the evening at pure leisure - stargazing, beachcombing or simply savoring the serenity.

Linger over one last gourmet breakfast, while overlooking the brilliant turquoise waters, as you reluctantly bid farewell to Tulum. But have no fear - you'll be dreaming about your return to this laid-back, tropical paradise before you've even left.
