    Description
    Introducing, PAPAYA PLAYA PROJECT , A MEMBER OF DESIGN HOTELS™ PROJECT a true sustainable project in Tulum. Having sought far and wide for a place to create an authentic, nurturing experience, the 900 meter stretch …More of oceanfront paradise cocooned on the Caribbean coast of the Mayan Riviera was the perfect spot. Together with the owners of of the existing Papaya Playa beach resort, Design Hotels™ is initiating the ultimate pop-up camp. Claus Sendlinger explains: “Our idea was to create a transitory, yet deeply culturally-rooted experience and we couldn’t have dreamed up a better place to make this happen. Capitalizing on the natural environment and multicultural character of Tulum, we quickly put together an international team of real visionaries, each enriching the experience with their own food, music, design or wellness concept. The enthusiasm and creative energy of everyone involved enabled us to renovate the camp and put together a holistic program within a very short period of time.” So come December, the authentic-pleasure seekers have a new raw-luxe camp they can sink and rub their feet into. Eighty-five cabanas have been renovated by the Design Hotels™ creative team. Integrating local materials and building techniques, they encourage its residents to soak in the warmth of the elements, both physically and mentally. The separation between man and nature diminishes in these rustic spaces while the perception of small indulgences – like high thread count sheets, flowing mosquito nets and thick towels – is heightened. The ultimate luxury in most of the cabanas, is the private porch, where hammocks gently swing guests into sync with Tulum’s laid-back rhythm. Less

    Amazingly Unique Experience
    PPP was beyond expectations. The staff were all friendly and helpful when we needed information about the area, where to eat, etc. This resort defines Tulum- such a fun, relaxing vibe here. We loved the Jungle Breakfast, the fresh juices and cocktails. We stayed in a Jungle Casit…

    Rustic Getaway
    Wry conflicted with this review as the Papaya Playa Project definitely had a rustic charm. But it’s not your typical SPG/Marriott hotel. Docking points because of cold showers, leaky roofs (during heavy rain), pool closure and extra charges on the bill. But they did try to comp…

    "The casitas are beautiful"
    "Casita its close to the restaurant and bar"
    "Casita Jungle Ocean View (upper deck with pool)"
    "Choose a room close to the south end near Azulik, you will be far from the bar but get to rest better."
