Tulum Treehouse

Designed by COLAB Design Office with interior curation by Annabell Kutucu, Tulum Treehouse encompasses five guest rooms, an open-air restaurant, a working studio with an outdoor ceramics kiln and a shop by Xinú, the Mexican botanical perfumery. Windows open to outdoor dining areas, and a massive 20-person rooftop dining table looks out onto spectacular views of endless jungle. Our makers come from very different backgrounds but are united in their commitment to using local, organic, sustainable materials whenever possible toward the creation of a uniquely beautiful and welcoming collaborative space.

Situated between tropical jungle and the Caribbean coastline on Tulum’s vibrant, hectic Beach Road, the Treehouse is a cultural beacon of the once-sleepy village in the midst of rapid transformation. Like the Marrakesh Medina or South Beach in the '80s, today’s Tulum is a place of chaos, promise and potential. At its creative heart is the Treehouse, where weekly talks, musical performances, craft workshops, ecological seminars and artists residencies draw inspiration from the rich culture of the Yucatán and nurture a dynamic conversation about the future of Tulum.

The Kitchen is supplied by Mestiza de Indias, a tropical regenerative agriculture project founded by Gonzalo Samaranch. Located 20 km from the Yucatán city of Valladolid, Mestiza de Indias aims to recover endangered and heirloom species unknown by the general public, while promoting gender equity, fair pay, food sovereignty and education among the inhabitants of the Mayan indigenous community of San Pedro Chenchela. It is a family business based on three ethical principles: consideration for the land, care for people and the fair and equitable distribution of resources.
