Ahau Collection is a hotel group in Tulum made up of six authentic hotels, each with a distinct personality that invites a journey of cultural exploration, authentic connection and self-discovery.
The group was founded by David Graziano, a creative visionary and nightlife pioneer who defined a generation in New York City before a life-changing connection with Tulum, Mexico. Ahau Collection redefines luxury by putting nature at its center, with carefully selected wellness, culinary, adventure, artistic and cultural experiences.
Ahau Tulum: Tulum's living room
This vibrant, authentic beachfront hotel invites you to unwind and enjoy relaxed luxury amid the lush Mayan jungle and the crystal-clear Caribbean Sea. Designed for travelers seeking authentic experiences, it offers beachfront cabanas and eco-lodges, with rooms ranging from suites to a private oceanfront beach house, featuring spacious terraces, hammocks, handcrafted wood floors and vaulted palapa ceilings.
To balance body and mind, Ahau Tulum offers a wellness program with free daily yoga, sound healing, aerial dance and more. Guests can also join activities rooted in Mexican culture, such as a temazcal or cacao ceremony, a mezcal tasting, or a visit to the ancient Mayan ruins minutes away.
Food lovers will enjoy the restaurant's cuisine, based on locally sourced ingredients. The same menu is served at the beach club, with couches and daybeds overlooking the ocean and a festive, musical atmosphere on the sand, plus a beach snack bar with healthy plant-based options.
With art as one of its main pillars, Ahau Tulum is home to Daniel Popper's iconic artwork "Come into the Light". The 10-meter (33-foot) sculpture represents the harmony between people and nature and is one of the most photographed spots in Mexico. Part of the entrance fee is donated to Care with Me, a local community fundraising initiative.
