Zahra

With the white sand beaches, the turquoise blue of the Caribbean and the emerald green of the tropical jungle, Tulum is the ideal destination for the traveler seeking a relaxing, rustic vacation by the sea. The year-round tropical warmth makes for a summer retreat all year long.

Imagine the Caribbean Sea, a beachside cabana, only the sound of birds to wake you up in the morning and the murmur of sea waves to lull you to sleep at night. Our ecological barefoot luxury resorts are nestled in the jungle overlooking the Caribbean Sea and get you off the beaten path for a truly alternative vacation experience. Tired of stuffy all inclusives? Get ready for an exotic vacation in Tulum!

The Zahra rooms and cabañas are clustered on a small property nestled between two sandy beaches. The cabañas are based on the traditional Mayan style, with thatched palm roofs, and some are raised on stilts above the sandy beach. Zahra offers 22 guestrooms and cabanas. All cabanas and rooms have hot water. Electric lighting is available from morning until 11 PM and all rooms have ceiling fans operable during the hours of electricity.

For your dining pleasure, our restaurant-bar is open all day long for dining and room service and guests may enjoy delicious traditional Mexican specialties and Mayan delicacies featuring a wide variety of vegetarian, fish and shellfish options. Guests may also enjoy dining at the jungle restaurant surrounded by lush foliage at our sister property, Cabanas Copal.

Wake up early and swim in the sea or stay in to enjoy room service in your cabana with a full view of the Caribbean Sea. Spend your days filled with activities--explore the coral reef in a sea kayak with snorkel gear to check out the details below; hike through the tropical jungle in search of spider and howler monkeys; discover ancient Mayan culture in our mystical initiations at local archaeological sites. Or not . . . spend your entire vacation hidden away in your cabana or sunbathing on the beach; relax with an in-room massage; stimulate your senses with an aromatherapy Reiki experience. All this and more is waiting for you!

Zahra hotel also offers the Maya Spa services, a local spa in Tulum that specializes in Mayan therapies, like the Mayan healing massage, the Mayan mud massage and the Mayan baths that includes an exfoliation of aromatherapy followed by a relaxing bath with a slight massage to clear the exfoliation. The services of Mayan Spa are available in your room or at the jungle spa.

Zahra is ideal for travelers seeking less of a rustic jungle experience, while still being able to enjoy the natural beauty of Tulum.
