Property information · Hotelbeds

Enmeshed in nature on a silky stretch of Caribbean beach, Tulum’s award-winning Papaya Playa Project defines the concept of barefoot luxury and conscious hospitality. An oasis for creative souls and wellness-seekers, PPP’s mindful approach to the land and culture sets it apart from other hotels in the area. Dotted along the 1km of beach and nestled in the jungle, the simplicity of the rooms is what lends them their special charm. The simplicity of the rooms is what lends them their special charm. The resort's restaurant overlooks the azure waters, where diners can enjoy locally sourced specialties; along the beach, drinks and snacks are served from late morning until late evening at the resort's beach club. In addition to massages and beauty treatments, guests can also enjoy yoga, tai chi and meditation to complete the holistic circle. • Enjoy a complimentary entrance for our Celebrations events when you stay during the weekend.
