AMARI Uptown

AMARI Uptown: private villas with hotel amenities

AMARI Uptown is a gated community of 46 villas on the quiet north side of Tulum, of which 16 can be rented. Every villa is a private home with its own pool, a full kitchen and indoor-outdoor living spaces. Around them sit the things a villa usually lacks: a full-service spa, a gym, a yoga studio, a sauna, a cold plunge, a 12-person jetted whirlpool, a shared pool and an on-site restaurant.

It suits travellers who want the privacy of a villa without giving up hotel comforts. A 24/7 concierge handles reservations, drivers and transfers, and the entrance is gated and staffed around the clock.

2, 3 and 4-bedroom villas

The villas come in four models, from two to four bedrooms. A three-bedroom villa sleeps six and a four-bedroom villa sleeps eight. Bedrooms have air conditioning, ceiling fans and ensuite bathrooms.

Book several villas for a group

Because the villas sit side by side behind one gate, a larger group can book two, three or more and stay together while keeping separate bedrooms, pools and kitchens. It works well for families travelling together, friends' trips, retreats and celebrations. Tell us your group size and dates and we will find the right combination of villas.

What makes it different

• Filtered, drinkable water from every tap, which is rare in Tulum.
• Full generator backup for air conditioning, WiFi and water.
• A quiet, residential setting rather than a party development.
• A free shuttle to the beach and downtown.

Location

AMARI Uptown sits inland on the north side of town, about 10 minutes by car from the beach and from downtown Tulum, and around 35 minutes from Tulum airport. It is not walking distance to the beach; the trade-off is a cooler, quieter base with the beach a short ride away.
