Serenity Authentic Glamping 

A two-minute stroll from one of the Riviera Maya’s most glorious beaches, this intimate eco-glamping resort offers tranquility and comfort in an unspoiled natural setting.

Imagine a cross between an African safari camp and a Silk Road caravanserai cast adrift in a patch of jungle fringing a pristine Mexican beach and you’ll have a good idea of Serenity Authentic Glamping Tulum. With just a few dozen tents and the occasional thatched pavilion, the buildings are designed to blend into the landscape – and they do, barely puncturing the canopy of greenery that stretches as far as the eye can see. But ‘unobtrusive’ doesn’t mean ‘boring’, and there are plenty of creative touches that you’ll notice as you drift around the grounds. There are reclaimed Moroccan doors where you wouldn’t expect them and ornate metal lanterns to illuminate the paths that wind through the garden.

There is a bijou spa with a just-long-enough list of scented and soothing treatments on offer.

This is very much a place to chill out and reconnect with the natural world, and the handful of carefully chosen facilities reflect that. There’s a yoga shala where even complete beginners can learn to stretch, bend and breathe their way to serenity and a bijou spa with a just-long-enough list of scented and soothing treatments on offer. There’s also that wonderfully curving outdoor pool, designed for cool contemplation rather than lengths and overlooked by the resort’s appealingly laidback bar/restaurant. The biggest draw during the day, though, is likely to be the soft white sand of Xpu Ha beach just moments away, where you can play in the clear turquoise water between cold drinks on your sun lounger at the stylish Serenity beach club.

Overlooked by the resort’s bar and restaurant there’s a wonderful curved outdoor pool, designed for cool contemplation rather than lengths. The biggest draw during the day, though, is likely to be the soft white sand of Xpu Ha beach just moments away. Divers can explore the subterranean world of Mexico's famous cenotes.
