Soliman Bay, Tulum.
We like to call our Jashita Hotel Tulum’s Best Kept Secret, and much of the credit for this has to be given to our beautiful Soliman Bay. In case you’ve never heard of this enchanting location - hence our nickname - Soliman Bay is probably the most secluded, private, and off-the-beaten-track beaches of the Mayan Riviera.
The bay lies 15 km north of Tulum and 1.5 hrs driving south of Cancun’s Airport, making it the perfect spot for those who like to be away from the crowds but still close to everything.
Despite Tulum's rapid growth, Soliman Bay remains a serene haven where time flows slower. In the 90s, the bay was inhabited by only a tacos restaurant at its end (Chamico’s) and a couple of rustic villas along its beach. A few decades ago, a small boutique hotel and a few private villas later, time still seems to flow slower here.
While Soliman Bay feels like a step back in time, offering peaceful seclusion and untouched natural beauty, it’s just a short drive to Tulum’s most iconic attractions. Explore the mystical Mayan Ruins of Tulum (10 minutes away) or dive into the crystal-clear waters of nearby cenotes, nature’s sacred sinkholes. For a taste of vibrant culture, head 30 minutes north to Playa del Carmen, famous for its lively nightlife and bustling Quinta Avenida. Alternatively, explore the bohemian charm of Tulum Beach, just 30 minutes south, home to exclusive beach clubs, jungle-side restaurants, and chic hotels.
Soliman Bay Coral Reef and its beautiful Marine ecosystem.
The coral reef in Soliman Bay is one of its most enchanting natural treasures, making this secluded paradise even more special. Part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System—the second-largest coral reef in the world—this reef lies just offshore, offering calm, protected waters and incredible marine biodiversity.
The reef acts as a natural barrier, creating a lagoon-like environment with gentle waves, ideal for activities like snorkeling, paddleboarding, and kayaking. Our Guests can explore it’s underwater remaining marine life, including rays and sea turtles.
The calm, shallow waters of Soliman Bay provides a serene and eco-friendly way to spend endless hours enjoying water activities like snorkelling, scuba diving, paddle-boarding, and kayaking — all suitable to admire the bay from its every angle.
Now that you’ve found us, we hope you, too, will add Jashita Tulum Hotel at Soliman Bay to your must-do in Tulum list.
