Tulum travel essentials: my clothing and accessories choices
Experience the Tranquil Oasis of Habitas Tulum
Nestled amongst the lush jungle of Tulum, Mexico, Habitas is an eco-friendly, adults-only resort that offers a serene and rejuvenating escape for travellers. Known for its focus on sustainability, wellness, and a relaxed ambiance, this unique resort provides a tranquil oasis for guests to unwind and connect with nature.
During a recent visit, Aaron and I spent four healing days at Habitas, celebrating a birthday in March. The location was a unique experience, with the peaceful atmosphere helping us forget about the external world, including social media. Although there were areas designed for Instagram, we found ourselves appreciating the beauty of the resort and its surroundings without the need for constant photo-taking.
Our accommodation, a jungle casita, was comfortable and immersed us in the natural surroundings. Each morning, we would wake up to the sound of birds chirping and the sun rising over the jungle. One of our favorite spots on the beach was a secluded area used for photo-taking, where we found ourselves taking pictures for personal motivation rather than external sharing.
The food at Habitas was delightful, with Mexican-inspired dishes boasting bold spices and flavors. Eating meals with our toes in the sand at the resort helped ground us, providing a sense of connection to the earth. On Day 3, we dined on the beach, enjoying a swimsuit and vintage denim shorts, while on Day 4, we wore a top and skirt for a special dinner.
In addition to relaxing by the beach and pool, we also took advantage of the outdoor activities offered by Habitas. On Day 4, we went on a bike ride to the Tulum Ruins, wearing a tee and vintage denim shorts. The ride was a great way to explore the area and take in the stunning views.
Habitas Tulum is more than just a resort; it's a community. Guests describe the service as excellent and friendly, with a strong sense of camaraderie among the visitors. On our trip, we witnessed a mini full moon ritual on the third night, which added to the magical and spiritual atmosphere of the resort.
