“We have a unique ability to create destination landmarks, platforms for personal expression and cultural interaction"

Alan Faena

Woven into the lush jungles of Tulum, where the forest embraces the sea, this visionary destination intertwines holistic living, sacred wisdom, and cultural expression to elevate consciousness. Located at the edge of the Jaguar Reserve and the Caribbean Sea, Faena District Tulum is a paradise within a paradise, inspired by the jungle, sea, stars, and sky. At its heart, Tierra Santa Healing House draws upon ancestral Mayan rituals and cuttingedge technology to carve a new path toward transformational healing. A cliffside swimming pool and an ocean club with full-service cabanas create a riviera-inspired oasis, while two signature restaurants, helmed by world-renowned chefs, offer an unparalleled culinary experience. As night falls, a curated lineup of internationally acclaimed musicians ignites the lounge with electrifying performances. Designed by renowned arquitecht Brandon Haw with a deep respect for nature and ancient Mayan architecture, the district’s hotel and residences are seamlessly woven into the landscape. The 72 guest rooms, elevated within the treetops, reach toward the heavens, offering a serene retreat above the jungle canopy.

The 147 private residences redefine the art of tropical living, embracing the raw beauty of natural materials. Solid concrete structures are softened by warm wood accents, a palette of sky blues, ochre yellows, and dusty pinks, and interiors crafted from chukum, a local polished plaster. Burnt sienna privacy screens filter golden shafts of light across outdoor terraces and lush living spaces. Rooftop gardens with infinity-edge pools and outdoor kitchens offer breathtaking panoramas where the jungle meets the sky. Every detail is designed for harmony and refinement, from fully equipped kitchens to double vanity bathrooms adorned with mosaic detailing and soaking tubs that invite deep relaxation. As with all Faena properties, art is the alchemy that sustains the District, creating crosscultural dialogues that transcend geography, philosophy, and social practice to inspire a radical rethinking of the future. “We have a unique ability to create destination landmarks, platforms for personal expression and cultural interaction,” said Alan Faena. “After working so hard to bring our vision to the United States, I am now focused on sharing it with a larger audience, on bringing Faena to the world.”

Where Fire and Flavor Ignite

"What makes Los Fuegos truly extraordinary is our commitment to the ancient art of cooking with fire,” explained Yassine Belkady, the restaurant’s manager. “We use no electricity whatsoever—just fire, wood ovens, and tradition” Everything has that distinctive char, those bold, nearly burnt flavors that taste almost primal. “When you dine here, you can literally smell the wood and rosemary in the air,” he added. The restaurant’s setting matches its culinary panache. By day, the veranda transforms into an airy ambience when its retractable roof opens to Miami’s brilliant skies. Guests enjoy lunch while overlooking the property’s stunning pool, creating what Belkady called “a completely different experience than any other hotel or restaurant in Miami.” 

Beneath the Tree of Life

Mornings here unfold slowly while guests sip on fresh-pressed juices—like the South Beach, a tropical elixir of coconut water, local citrus, mango, and strawberry, or a vitamin-rich Green Juice packed with spinach, kale, ginger, cucumber, celery and green apple. “The tranquility makes it really special,” noted Joshua Rodriguez, Director of Nightlife. “It’s a place where guests can grab a coffee, a light bite and relax or catch up on some emails.” A menu of delicious appetizers is great for snacking throughout the day, including crispy artichokes with sesame yogurt and sourdough breadcrumbs; prime rib empanadas with llajua sauce; and a vegan option of steamed veggie rice with sweet potato and broccoli. Come golden hour, the energy shifts. On weekends from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, resident DJs set the mood as the bar transitions into a laidback sundowner haunt. The CopaCabana cocktail, a tropical indulgence of banana and apricot liqueur, coconut cream, allspice, and Bulleit Rye, is a guest favorite. “People order it because it’s served in a Faena-branded coconut, but it’s the taste that makes them request another one,” said Rodriguez.
