Azulik Tulum

It’s Robinson Crusoe meets Gwyneth Paltrow at this beachfront resort. Not a tree was cut down as they laid the foundation at Azulik, using only renewable materials and allowing trees to pop through the boho chic, hand-crafted treehouse villas overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With no air conditioning, no television, no wifi or even electric light, it’s all about disconnecting from the buzz of daily life. Harmonize your chakras or heal your soul in ancient Mayan rituals offered by the hotel, or simply perfect your sirsasana before dining in one of their three incredible restaurants (book a nest overlooking the jungle at Tseen Ja for some Japanese Mexican fusion cuisine). The highlight? A sunset bath of sacred water from the hotel’s cenote as you watch the waves from your villa. It’s green wellness from A to Z here.
