This 349-room resort sits between a tropical forest and clear Mexican Caribbean waters

 Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya

The Yucatán Peninsula has long been a popular getaway for sun-seekers and ocean lovers, but now there’s a new resort upping the luxury game in this coveted destination. Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya, which just opened its hand-carved doors on Jan. 18, is raising the bar on the area’s high-end resorts, offering both the seclusion and convenience of being eight miles north of Tulum, on a bay surrounded by mangroves.

The 349-room hotel takes its design inspiration from its surroundings, with wooden doors carved by local artisans and an immersive art piece inspired by the area’s ancient Mayan architecture and Tulum’s landscape.
