The best yoga & design hotels · Tulum
Nomade Tulum
Sebastian Sas opened Nomade in 2015 and expanded it since. The architecture is tzalam and zapote wood set against stucco, and the Macondo restaurant is built around a sixty-five-foot communal table carved from a single tree trunk. La Popular — the beachfront restaurant — is where you eat on a bed on the sand. Five treehouses sit twenty-three feet above the ground on metal columns. The yoga shala is the spine around which the rest of the property is organised: daily yoga, meditation, cacao ceremonies, sound healing, moon rituals, and a rotating programme of workshops run through the week. The Yaan Spa adds hydrotherapy — cedar sauna, eucalyptus steam room, vitality pools — alongside Mayan-rooted treatment protocols. Nomade runs on solar power. The bamboo structures and open architecture create natural ventilation that makes air conditioning unnecessary. The beach club operates without single-use plastics; food is served in coconut shells and compostable materials. Organic waste goes to compost. The kitchen sources locally.

THE SUSTAINABILITY
Solar-powered. Natural ventilation through bamboo structures. Plastic-free beach club. The building was designed to work with the climate, not against it.

These are not policy commitments — they are the way the hotel has operated since it opened.

THE YOGA
The cacao ceremony happens at the shala. The sound healing happens at the shala. The yoga happens at the shala. The shala is the hotel.

The Yaan Spa adds hydrotherapy — cedar sauna, eucalyptus steam room, vitality pools — alongside Mayan-rooted treatment protocols. The wellness programme at Nomade is not a secondary offering. It is the primary structure around which the rest of the hotel is organised.
