5-star jungle retreat in Tulum with Mayan-inspired architecture and access to sister hotels Bardo and Milam

Rooms & Accommodations

The hotel offers 20 rooms and suites, each with a private terrace that looks onto the surrounding jungle. Room types include the Tropical Room with Plunge Pool and Private Garden, the One-Bedroom Suite with separate living area and outdoor bathtub, and the Three-Bedroom Luxury House for larger groups. All accommodations are designed using techniques that honor ancient Mayan construction, and every room has air conditioning and a private bathroom.

Dining

The hotel's on-site restaurant serves American, Mexican, and international cuisines, with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. Guests can also eat at Milam, the restaurant at the sister hotel Bardo, which offers a different menu and bar. A pool bar provides drinks and snacks, and room service is available for meals delivered directly to the room.

Wellness & Activities

Complimentary yoga and Qi Gong classes are held daily at the sister hotel Bardo, led by on-site instructors. A spa offers massages including back, foot, full body, and neck treatments, as well as spa/wellness packages and access to an open-air bath. Guests can use two outdoor pools: one at Una Vida and a larger, 24-hour pool at Bardo, both surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas.

Location & Transportation

The hotel sits 5 km from the Tulum Archeological Site and 38 km from Tulum International Airport, with the Tulum Bus station a 13-minute walk away. A paid airport shuttle service and car hire can be arranged at the front desk. The property is a 10-minute walk from downtown Tulum's restaurants and shops, and free street parking is available for guests with rental cars.

Family & Pet-Friendly Amenities

Family rooms and the Three-Bedroom Luxury House accommodate groups, and kids' meals are available at the restaurant. The hotel allows pets and offers grocery deliveries for guests who prefer to prepare their own food. A full-time concierge staff can help book excursions, arrange baby gear if needed, and manage transportation for families.

“Una Vida stands out for its architecture rooted in Mayan tradition and an ethos deeply connected to nature, though some may find the location, removed from the immediate bustle of Tulum's hotel zone, either a blessing or a drawback, given taxi costs. I noted reports of construction noise and some design choices that missed the mark for certain guests, contrasting with the consistently praised attentiveness of the staff. Ultimately, Una Vida seems best suited for those prioritizing tranquility and immersion in a natural setting over immediate beach access.”
