In jungles around the world, architects are developing eco-tourist hotels far from the city lights to offer up enchanting, unusual experiences.
The design is by an Argentine-born local hotel owner who simply goes by Roth, whose vision was to build a contemplative space where art convenes with nature. In April, when he opened the first IK LAB gallery at the original Azulik, his own eco-hotel on Tulum’s resort-lined coast, he had already begun construction of a second larger location further afield, some 30 minutes away by car. It’s in the forests of Francisco Uh May, a Mayan village a half-hour drive from the touristed beaches. The journey passes a stretch of roadside, open-air vendors of woven hammocks and tapestries and veers off into a potholed dirt road that leads to an opening among the trees. That’s where the chain of extraterrestrial buildings that hosts the gallery, a restaurant, Roth’s home, and a forthcoming artist-residency program has begun to take shape.
There’s 8 different types of Villas at Azulik Resort and not all feature a beach view. So make sure to choose the right type if you prefer a beach view. Sky Villa is the second highest category after the Honeymoon Suite and offers incredible views of the sea.Each Villa is built alongside the rocky coastline right above the seashore, so you’ll sleep with the sound of the waves in your ear.
Reminding: The Azulik Resort is an adult only hotel and best fit for couples.
