Discover Why Celebrities Love Secrets Tulum
TULUM, Mexico—Nestled along the pristine coastline of Tulum, the Secrets Tulum Resort, part of Hyatt’s Inclusive Collection, represents a pinnacle of adult-exclusive luxury. Open for just half a year, this 300-room sanctuary already stands as a beacon of tranquility and seclusion, operating at around 70% capacity during my mid-April visit.
Contrary to expectations of bustling corridors and crowded pools typical of many resorts, Secrets Tulum offers a different experience: peace so profound it feels like a private retreat. During daytime strolls through the resort, one encounters only a handful of guests, lounging quietly in scattered nooks, maintaining an atmosphere of intimate seclusion.
The resort’s architectural and design ethos champions this sense of undisturbed tranquility, from the privacy of guest rooms to the layout of public spaces. The resort’s lower-level accommodations feature private terrace pools, offering an appealing reason to enjoy seclusion. My junior suite was equipped with a swim-out pool, where I could laze on a rattan chaise under the gentle rain, enveloped in serenity.
On sunnier days, the resort’s layout, featuring nine cenote-inspired pools, allows guests to drift along lazy-river-like waters, meandering through lush landscapes and linking various resort buildings. The pools connect intermittently, separated by elegant step bridges, facilitating a seamless flow that mirrors the tranquil waters of Tulum’s famed cenotes.
Another jewel in the resort’s crown is the spa, a secluded haven offering a range of treatments, including hydrotherapy and massages. The spa’s hydrotherapy circuit is a guided experience through various stations, including a heated pool with massaging waterfalls, a cold plunge pool, a jacuzzi, an ice fountain for exfoliation, and a dry sauna and steam room. This timed experience ensures all guests enjoy unhindered access to the spa’s amenities, fostering a relaxed and orderly environment.
For those preferring sand over spa, the resort’s private Beach Club in the heart of Tulum’s hotel zone offers an exclusive seaside retreat. A short 15-minute shuttle ride from the main property, the club provides beachfront seating, Balinese day beds, a snack bar, and a well-stocked beach bar, creating a perfect blend of relaxation and beachside luxury.
Adjacent to the Beach Club stands the Secrets Tulum Villa, a pinnacle of luxury at $7,000 per night. This five-bedroom villa includes a master suite with a private balcony and hammock overlooking the ocean, two plunge pools, and expansive outdoor living spaces, including a kitchen and grill. For those able to indulge, it promises an unparalleled escape.
Secrets Tulum Resort offers a range of luxurious amenities and encapsulates the tranquil beauty of Tulum, making it an ideal destination for those seeking both relaxation and refined elegance in a picturesque setting. Whether opting for a secluded spa day or a lively beach outing, the resort provides an array of choices to cater to all preferences, each maintaining the calm and beauty synonymous with Tulum.
