Al Cielo Hotel, Xpu Ha

Stunning retreat for intimate stays

Lying in between Tulum and Playa del Carmen on a quiet stretch of coast, this intimate boutique retreat has only four rooms and two villas. Enjoying a low-key, rustic design with white walls and splashes of vibrant colour, all suites are set right on the beach and enjoy ocean views. Specialising in seafood, the small restaurant enjoys a relaxed romantic atmosphere with food served in a thatched-roof palapa on the sand.
