There are times when you need a quick getaway to recharge, and times when you want a truly transformative retreat from all the craziness of modern life. When you’ve reached that moment, come with us into the heart of Tulum’s peaceful Mayan jungle.
Set away from Tulum’s fast-growing town area, Shibari is a different kind of Tulum hotel—one that offers a complete connection with nature, while still boasting luxurious comfort in every suite.
Here, you’ll be right next to a private, pristine open-air cenote, and surrounded by only the sounds of birds, frogs, and dragonflies that make their home in our secluded jungle.
It’s well known that spending time in a jungle is deeply healing. In Japan — where Shibari draws inspiration from for both our restaurant Atta, and our Soga Do courses in Japanese body-knotting and Samurai martial arts — people have invented a practice of “forest bathing” (shinrin-yoku), or walking in and gazing at the forest.
People in Japan have found that being surrounded by nature releases worries, lowers stress, inspires creativity, and brings on feelings of joy and peace. We are convinced the same happens here in our secluded, serene green oasis in the heart of the jungle.
At Shibari Tulum hotel, we are blessed to be set right in the middle of the Mayan jungle, one of the world’s most important and vital ecosystems.
It’s Mesoamerica’s largest forest, second in the Americas only to the Amazon. Here in the jungle, endangered species such as the tapir and scarlet macaw still roam freely. Over the centuries, the local Mayan people discovered a vast array of food and medicinal plants here, from cacao, to the gum (chicle) tree, to their treasured Melipona honey.
Enjoy these traditional and local ingredients in our restaurant Atta, and in our sacred Cacao Ceremony. Come practice yoga in the middle of our peaceful jungle hotel grounds—we guarantee it’s a whole other vibe compared to practicing yoga in the middle of a busy metropolis. Relax with a spa treatment at our Spa Kan, accompanied by birdsong and the scent of jungle flowers.
Experience the profound unwinding that comes from breathing the fresh jungle air and waking up to the sun’s rays filtered through lush green Saw Palmetto leaves.
We’re pretty sure you’ll notice everything we do here feels more harmonious, thanks to our natural environment.
And we’re pretty sure you’ll fall in love, just like we have.
