Papaya Playa Project is focused on distinguishing an innovative form of hospitality … merging local culture and sustainability to set the foundation for original and aspirational vacation experiences. From exclusive accommodations to delectable dining, indulge in an authentic Tulum experience with every amenity and comfort in this self-declared “barefoot luxury” resort.
Tulum is the site of a pre-Columbian Mayan walled-city which served as a major port for Coba, the ruins of which are situated on impressive 40-foot cliffs along the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula on the Caribbean Sea. One of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites, Tulum is today a popular site for tourists and those seeking a more intimate connection with spirituality and nature.
Playa Solar Beach Club is ideal for those seeking mindfulness and the calm brought by the sound of nature, soft waves, and caressing breeze.
The name Papaya Playa Project is congruent with its mission to constantly seek to improve its natural surroundings, our community, and individuals themselves. The Project put into action an ambitious sustainability and social responsibility mission to lead a more conscious operation and to inspire others to do the same.
The resort’s Immersion Program is for artistic, spiritual, and wellness experiences:
The art and science of breath discipline, Pranayama, guides the participants through different techniques for maintaining presence within the design of each moment.
Enjoy each and every breath as you absorb the different energetic possibilities used with the motor of simple respiration.
A diverse yoga experience against the remarkable view of the Caribbean Sea allows one to refresh and restore their body, mind and spirit. Within Papaya Playa’s Chappel, this diverse practice allows guests to reconnect with their sense of Self.
Enjoy total relaxation for body and mind, with healing massages and indulgent spa treatments. At Papaya Playa Project, you will find a perfect oasis of calm, where you can de-stress and re-energize in a comfortable, pleasant and natural environment.
Immersed in the jungle, away from the city noise and surrounded by paradisiacal views, the beautiful oceanfront cabins offer unique spa treatments using organic and natural local ingredients such as coconut, honey, aloe and a special mayan clay.
The Temazcal is a traditional Mayan steam bath, a sacred place in which the elemental forces of nature come together.
These sweat lodges stimulate our lymphatic system, cleanse our respiratory tract, improve blood circulation, relax the nervous system, help us to remove emotional and energetic blockages, and leave our skin feeling renewed.
