Hacienda Paraíso, Tulum Beach Zone

Hacienda Paraíso is for the group that was considering a boutique hotel buyout. It runs like a small resort reserved for one booking at a time: a chef in the gourmet kitchen, spa services at the villa, a gym for training mornings, a home theatre for the night in, daily housekeeping and concierge planning, with no other guests on the property.

The estate sits on a private oceanfront stretch of Tulum’s beach zone. Six en-suite bedrooms take twelve guests, which suits large families and milestone groups settling in for a week or more. The master has a private ocean-view balcony; the guest rooms face the gardens or the sea.

The living areas are expansive and open-concept, facing the water, with an elegant dining space inside and alfresco dining under the palms outside. High-end finishes run throughout. The infinity pool overlooks the Caribbean from sun-drenched terraces, and the estate’s own beach runs beyond the gardens.

Full air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping are standard, and the concierge handles arrivals, excursions and the week’s logistics.

For guests weighing a hotel against a villa, Paraíso is the argument for the villa: hotel-grade service, private beach, nobody else in the building. Enquire for availability.
