Papaya Playa Project is a rustic-chic hotel nestled in the jungle at the edge of the Caribbean Sea. The property spans nearly 15 acres of jungle and coastline with private cabanas, casitas and luxury beach houses dotted throughout, many boasting panoramic ocean views.
The focal point of the hotel is its restaurant and beach club that features a unique amphitheater of enclaved tables overlooking the sea. The restaurant spills onto the beach with sunbeds and shaded cabanas where drinks and snacks are served from early morning until late evening.
Like many of the eco-tourism resorts in Tulum, Papaya Playa Project offers beautifully designed rooms but with limited resources. The property relies on its dramatic panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and close-to-nature jungle experience to offset any lingering desire for unnecessary modern comforts.
Papaya Playa Project has 100 free-stranding rooms dotted along the beach and nestled in the jungle. Room types range from small cabanas and casitas to bungalows and beach houses. The ultimate experience in most of the rooms are the private porches and plunge pools, many with panoramic views of the azure Caribbean waters.
All rooms are simple, but functional with a connection to nature as the focal point. Interiors are designed with materials and textiles made by Mexican natives from the surrounding area.
Pricing varies based on room type and view.
