Mukan Resort, Tulum

From the handmade furniture crafted by local artisans to the solar panels and filtered water system, Mukan strives to be as self-sustaining as possible. Even the meals are prepared using fruits, vegetables and herbs plucked straight from the on-site garden. The property itself, immersed in lush mangroves and jungle, feels wonderfully private and totally removed from the bustle of Cancun. Choose between beautiful beachfront bungalows and elegant villa rooms, all simply styled with polished wooden floors, walk-in showers and flat-screen TVs.

Enclosed by the extraordinary natural beauty of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, days are naturally spent exploring the wondrous surroundings. Take advantage of the complimentary kayaks, paddleboards and snorkelling equipment, or rent a bicycle to explore the reserve on your own two wheels. Complimentary yoga classes are also on offer, as is bird watching and simply lounging on the powdery beach with clear, turquoise waters at your feet.
