About Amansala
AMAN: PEACE / SALA: WATERS (Sanskrit)
Amansala is named after the peaceful crystal clear waters of Tulum, and to this day it is still one of Tulum’s most iconic, eco-chic boutique hotels. Amansala was founded on the belief that a true vacation is one where you come back looking and feeling better than when you arrived.
Amansala is a full-service resort that puts equal emphasis on indulgence as it does on the restoration of the mind, body, and spirit. They believe in creating an experience that centers around the natural beauty and resources unique to Tulum. They use natural materials and resources to create simple yet beautiful rooms, a menu full of fresh delicious food and an atmosphere that feels more like staying at a friend’s beach house than a hotel.
😷 😷 😷 Safety note: The Amansala staff are required by the government to be fully vaccinated and wear masks.
