Find your serenity at La Valise: a luxury jungle hotel with stunning coastal views
La Valise Jungle, a new luxury hotel in Tulum with 11 brand-new rooms on the jungle side of Tulum Beach, is the fifth in the Namron Hospitality line of boutique hotels in Mexico.
Hotelier Yves Naman fell in love with Tulum after having great success with his inauguration of La Valise Mexico City. He had never been anywhere as wild, undeveloped, and mystically inspirational as Tulum in all his travels. Naman made the decision to build the ideal boutique hotel experience there since he was so taken with the area. La Valise Tulum was created after he bought a tiny beach home and converted it into an 11-key boutique hotel.
In 2022, the hotel expanded with 11 additional jungle suites and a luxurious SPA sanctuary located on a separate property across the street from the beach. La Valise is now a two-wing property, spanning its original beachfront and new jungle accommodations.
La Valise SPA is located on the jungle side and caters to both hotel guests and external visitors. Upon arrival at La Valise Tulum, guests will be struck by the meticulous attention to detail, which begins at check-in and extends throughout their stay. Amidst Tulum’s lush jungle, guests will hear the gentle sound of the Caribbean Sea as they make their way along winding white-sand paths to their oceanside or jungle-view suites. Each suite is adorned with palatial palapa roofs and decadent locally crafted décor, creating a cosy and intimate atmosphere.
As guests enter the jungle, they are immediately transported into a world of tranquillity, surrounded by the sounds of nature. At the heart of the jungle lies a cenote that defines the true luxury of leisure. For those seeking even more seclusion, there are five additional La Valise signature rolling bed suites where guests can indulge in a dreamy escape.
The décor at La Valise captures the natural mysticism of Tulum while perpetuating the eccentricity of the La Valise name. The combination makes guests feel like they are hanging out in the beachfront living room of their most cultured, gypset and affluent best friend. Respect is paid to the quality and beauty of local materials such as chukum, a stucco made from Mayan rubber trees and re-imagined palapa thatched roofs. Woven reed lamps and tropical wood wall adornments look more like sculptures than accents. Every inch of La Valise elevates local craftsmanship with its seasoned eye, giving it that je ne sais quoi of enchantment.
Sheltering a variety of beachside, garden and jungle-side guestrooms, all are generous and impeccably designed. Guestrooms all focus on and have access to the surrounding nature, with high palapa roofs handwoven by Mayan artisans and handcrafted art and objects from the region. Each room features a spacious bathroom, shower, bathtub, king-size bed, air conditioning and refreshing ceiling fans.
The impressive jungle setting also houses the restaurant NÜ, where chef Luis Aguilar sources the freshest ingredients, preserving sustainable methods of cooking and continuously innovating flavour creations. Alchemising diverse and rare ingredients from the Caribbean sea and Mayan jungle, NÜ Tulum has created a vibrant local cuisine, earning it recognition as one of the five best restaurants in Yucatan. The lush gardens also accommodate an impressive curation of live music, art and cultural gatherings, where guests can enjoy hand-crafted cocktails while dancing under the stars.
