Azulik If you’re active on social media, you might have seen photos of AZULIK before. This picture-perfect eco-retreat in Tulum has become Instagram-famous thanks to its surreal architecture and jaw-dropping landscape.
The retreat combines luxury with total immersion in nature, hanging over the cliffs right on the Caribbean Sea coast.
The AZULIK complex consists of 48 villas inspired by the elements and indigenous South American heritage.
Even though the amenities and décor differ, all villas promote harmony with nature. Expect decks hanging over the beach in a gravity-defying manner, bathtubs carved out of a log, and whimsical wicker furniture.
There is no electricity in the villas, so you can truly disconnect (note that this also includes no air conditioning).
Aqua Villa
Azulik has direct beach access from the villas, as long as you don't mind climbing down the rocks.
The Sea Villas are perched above the cliff, offering a breathtaking Caribbean Sea view.
The Zak Ik boutique shop sells garments made by local artists.
Moon Villa
Mayan Villa
The suites have no electric light, A/C, or TV, so you'll have plenty of time to read, slow down and enjoy the small things in life.
Epic sea view terrace with a swing on the rooftop of your suite.
Maya Spa
AZULIK offers daily yoga classes, meditation, and private energy coaching to complete your rejuvenation journey.
In addition, you can fully unwind at the Maya Spa with treatments ranging from facials to a moonlight couples massage.
And if all this doesn’t heal your aching soul, there is always retail therapy: you’ll find three designer fashion stores here.
Tseen Ja Restaurant
Japanese-Mexican fusion restaurant.
Bird Nest Restaurant
It’s not the villas – gorgeous as they are – that won AZULIK its internet fame. Instead, the hallmarks of the retreat, the outlandish restaurants that look like giant bird nests, perched over the treetops.
Kin Toh serves Mayan-Mexican avant-garde cuisine, and Tseen-Ja mixes things up with Japanese and Mexican fusion. Make sure to schedule your dinner for the sunset to get the full experience.
Azulik's signature bird-nest-shaped rooftop dining terraces overlook the lush forest on one side and the side on the other.
