SPIRITUAL RETREAT “ BUILDING ME FROM LOVE”

Recently, Alea was the setting for a spiritual retreat led by renowned holistic facilitator Adriana Arroyo. For three days, participants explored their inner potential through creative feminine energy and learned to channel it through love. It was a unique opportunity to disconnect from the outside world and reconnect with the inner self in an environment of peace and healing.

The retreat offered an enriching combination of deep meditations, revitalizing yoga practices, and empowering rituals designed to enhance emotional and physical well-being. Each session allowed participants to open to new perspectives and manifest personal intentions while immersed in a supportive and transformative environment.

The spiritual experience was enhanced by the exquisite food served, carefully prepared to nourish body and soul. In addition, the breathtaking views of the bay and connection to the sacred sea added a special dimension, creating the perfect environment for introspection and personal growth.

At Alea, we are excited to announce that we will soon be offering new retreats and events designed to continue this journey of healing and self-discovery. If you would like to organize your own retreat or event in this paradise, please do not hesitate to contact us at reservaciones@aleatulum.com

We are ready to create an unforgettable experience.

AFTER HURRICANE BERYL ALEA TULUM IS BACK ON ITS FEET

Ready to have a great summer. Fortunately Tankah Bay had no significant damage. All protocols before, during and after Beryl were applied, ensuring that no guests or employees were affected. As for material damage, only some plants and wood that are already repaired, and although sadly the pier of Alea Tulum was lost, the beautiful essence and personality of this beautiful hotel is preserved.

WELCOME TO THE TURLE SEASON IN TANKAH!

You have the privilege of being on a prime nesting beach for loggerhead, green and hawksbill sea turtles. These turtles are endangered and are VERY important to marine ecosystems.
VERY important to marine and coastal ecosystems. In order to protect and respect
these magnificent creatures there are certain protocols we must follow as responsible human beings. Sea turtles are an important part of marine and coastal ecosystems. The nesting season extends from late April to January.

Please respect, help and protect turtles by adhering to these rules:

– DO NOT APPROACH A NESTING TURTLE.

A turtle coming out of the sea to nest can be easily frightened. A female turtle

needs space to choose where she will nest. After you see that she is settled and has finally dug her nest, do not approach a nesting turtle that she has finally dug her nest, you can sit quietly and watch. Don’t get closer than20 feet or 6 meters from her and keep voices and sounds very low. A frightened turtle returns to the sea and releases her eggs into the water and the entire nest is lost.

– NEVER USE WHITE FLASHLIGHTS OR CAMERA FLASH.

White lights alarm and confuse/disorient turtles and hatchlings. Use a red or amber light,

but do not shine it directly. In addition, turn off the exterior white lights on the beach side of the

the beach side of your Villa or shield them so they are not visible from the beach.

Close your curtains. If you have beachside lights or lighted piers, change the bulbs/lights to red.

bulbs/lights to red or amber during nesting season.

-DO NOT DISTURB, TRACK OR COVER A TURTLE NEST.

If you see this, tell the caretaker not to do so. A raked beach only prevents babies from hatching.

If you see a raked nest, a turtle in trouble or an injured turtle call Zofemat

+52 984 124 0449, or Security +52 984 266 1647; or Alea Tulum´s Front Desk +52 984 129 8898.

-DO NOT TOUCH TURTLES OR HATCHINGS.

– Hatchlings are delicate and should not be handled. If a baby turtle needs help, rub your hands with sand first. Our skin oil can harm a baby. Babies should be imprinted on the beach where they were born so they can return to the nest, if they are females. Do not place them in the water, allow them to crawl, this is very, very important for imprinting.

-DO NOT BLOCK THE PATH OF A TURTLE OR A BABY.

Baby turtles are very vulnerable. When they hatch, they need to get to the sea as fast as possible

because birds and other animals will try to will try to eat them. If you want to help, make a path

and remove any obstacles.

-REMOVE ALL ITEMS FROM THE BEACH.

All chairs, umbrellas, tables should be removed to allow the turtles a clear path to and from the sea.

-NO ANIMALS ON THE BEACH.

Dogs are not allowed on the beach during nesting season.

By being considerate, respectful and responsible, we can all play an active role in conserving these extraordinary creatures. Please help us to preserve the environment and the animals that graciously allow us to share their world.

GASTRONOMIC EXPERIENCE IN ALEA TULUM

Tz’onot Restaurant, whose name means cenote in Mayan, is a journey through various regions of the Mexican Republic, this summer can not miss the typical tacos and starts the season of Chiles en Nogada; as every year and from the last week of August, its Chef, Carlos Peregrina, born in Puebla, will offer this delicious and emblematic dish 100% homemade.

Last April, Alea Tulum had the pleasure of hosting 11 national media, which were provided with a complete experience, both in terms of lodging, gastronomy and destination activities.

With the valuable support of important commercial partners such as Volaris, Tukankin, Tulum
Diving Travel, and Quique Tours, Alea Tulum gave these media 4 incredible days. As the flight was very early, they were welcomed with an energizing Mexican breakfast of mole chilaquiles with barbecue, followed by a relaxing massage on the dock and a beautiful Mayan ceremony at sunset.

This first day closed with an interesting mezcal tasting offered by Encuentro, artisanal mezcal and a delicious dinner with live music at Alea´s sister neighboring restaurant Umbal at Nerea Tulum.

During the second day, Caballito Tours sponsored a gorgeous tour to two cenotes in Coba and a Mayan Community, where the press had their lunch and visited the melipona bee hatchery; as a curious fact, these bees are small, non-aggressive and stingless, their honey is medicinal and delicious.

At the Mayan community, Xunaán Kab, they learned the process of making tortillas and tasted the traditional “poc-chuc”, cooked pork with salad and rice, served with beans, fresh hand-made tortillas and hibiscus water. They also have a temazcal and a refreshing pool.

The thirth day was full of great activities as well, Quique Tours, who has been working at Mereva´s pier for 10 years, offering guests the best boat tours, sponsored a beautiful tour to the worldwide famous Tulum Ruins which were seen by the sea, as well as snorkeling and swimming with stingrays and turtles.

Reserve your boat experience with Quique HERE.

After this activity at the sea, they were received at the Mereva´s lounge with a Ceviche Party that they enjoyed with wines and Mexican cocktails.

Every year the female gender is commemorated in March. The tourism industry is no exception and women play a fundamental role in many sectors of tourism and in all areas of a hotel. At Mereva, Alea and Nerea, their value is recognized and there is and always will be a space for them.

These hotels are part of the Nahuma group, whose female staff is distributed in all areas: Executive Committee, Kitchen, Front Desk, Housekeeping and Accounting.

Congratulations to all the women in the world of tourism; keep on preparing and keep on giving us that warm service.

#InternationalWomen’sDay.

Tulum as one of the most requested destinations this Easter.

Years before the pandemic in 2020, Tulum was already a must-see destination; during the pandemic this intensified because the Mexican Southeast never closed its doors. Today Tulum is still a top choice for travelers from all over the world, including Mexicans.

In addition to the main attractions such as the cenotes and the archaeological zone, Tulum prides itself on having a tourist infrastructure on par with any first class beach. For this reason, several international airlines have confirmed flights to Tulum’s new airport, recently inaugurated in December 2023. These airlines are: Delta, American Airlines, Spirit, United Airlines, Air Canada, Sunwing, Copa Airlines and recently Discover, from Lufthansa, which will fly next winter from Frankuft to Tulum with a stopover in Barcelona.

For US citizens, Alea Tulum and sister hotels Mereva and Nerea offer hotel + airfare on their websites using the “book now” button.

But, why Tulum?

Tulum has a special charm that comes from its Mayan roots, giving its gastronomy an original and cultural touch that enchants locals and foreigners alike. The Mayan culture that extends to the entire peninsula of Quintana Roo, is felt in Tulum like in no other destination. Unlike Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Tulum has fewer all-inclusive hotels, giving way to smaller establishments with personalized service.

Among the most important boutique hotels in Tulum are: Casa Malca and Papaya Proyect in the Hotel Zone; Bardo in the Tumben Kaa reserve; and in Zona Tankah, Mereva, Alea and Nerea; the latter with their own gastronomic proposal and beachfront rooms to disappear from reality and disconnect from everything; and, at no extra cost, have at your disposal acutic equipment such as kayaks, paddleboards, vests, fins, water shoes, snorkel and bicycles to explore the natural beauties in this area.

Nahuma, in harmony with Tulum’s nature

When it comes to boutique hotels in Tulum, the Nahuma group tops the list with 3 beautiful properties that blend with the wild nature but with all the comforts of the modern world and

Starting with Mereva, the group’s first hotel, it has a strong reputation for its warm service, family-friendly facilities and beach. Its restaurant, Bsky, has a stone oven that produces the best wood-fired pizzas in Tulum! Although specialties such as grilled octopus and brisquet cooked for 12 hours are also served.

The second hotel of the group is Alea, which to celebrate its 5th anniversary in November 2023, renews its rooms including bajareques (wood sticks) on ceilings and walls and boho chic bedding and deco, giving a more Tulum vibe to the rooms; also adds to its inventory Casa Alea Tulum, a comfortable beach house with 4 rooms fully equipped, available on Airbnb, Vrbo, Expedia, Booking or on the hotel’s website; also it can be rented for events and weddings. Alea and Casa Alea Tulum offer an authentic Mexican gastronomic experience at Tz´onot Restaurant. They also have gym, which can be used by the guests of the three hotels.

And last but not least, Nerea, the youngest of the group, opened in 2022 with 22 rooms, “your path to well-being”. Nerea connects with those seeking a retreat, relaxation, health, nutrition and flow towards wellness. Nerea has a small but beautiful SPA and massage services are offered at the piers of the three hotels. Its Umbal restaurant offers dishes with or without meat, but with organic and light ingredients. It never hurts to have an Angus burger with sweet potato bread for better digestion.

Guests and external clients can enjoy the three restaurants with live music during dinner in some seasons. A local attraction in Tankah very close to the hotels is Cenote Manati or Casa Cenote, safe and clean, guests can enjoy this low cost natural wonder without having to take a cab.

Alea Tulum gets revamped

When it comes to Tulum, travelers expect an atmosphere that blends with nature and local materials. We can be no exception.

Our 21 rooms have been fitted out in this style, preserving their elegance and comfort with elements such as air conditioning, fan, double sink, high speed wifi and personal care amenities.

We are one of the few boutique hotels in Tulum with very high speed wifi, butler service for suites and with the benefit of the MyGuest app, which contains all the necessary information for the guest, and from which they can order food, drinks, book tours and massages.
