Like a Moorish castle in the middle of the jungle, this 16-bedroom residence in Tulum fuses Mexican-Moroccan design and a Caribbean vibe. Soft lines, round arches, stucco work, and jacuzzis for central fountain combine with top-level amenities to create a sophisticated riad in a tropical landscape. Formerly a boutique hotel, this elegant property is divided into two adjacent villas, Ambre et Epices and Yum Kaax to which you have full access upon booking.
One of them has six bedrooms; the other, eight. Each of the fourteen suites has a king-size bed, a private bathroom, and a bathtub or stone jacuzzi tastefully integrated into the space. Further, both houses have their own sun lounge and swimming pool –one of them upon a rooftop terrace ideal for sunsets above the canopy.
The openness of the architecture, distributed around the courtyards, is an invitation to enjoy outdoor living. The large dining tables by the pools integrate into the gardens and their endemic trees, while fully-equipped kitchens are perfect for preparing large family meals. There is even a personal chef available during your stay.
Further, both homes are equipped with air conditioning, Wi-Fi. Villa Riad Ambre et Epices is located in one of Tulum’s newest neighborhoods, just 15 minutes away from the beach and very close to the town’s vibrant center.
