There’s a corner of the Riviera Maya where time slows down, the sea is always calm, and nature still whispers in your ear. It’s not in the heart of Tulum town or among the beach zone’s vibrant chaos, it’s tucked quietly away, just 15 minutes north, waiting to be discovered. Welcome to Soliman Bay.

Soliman Bay, Tulum’s Most Private Beach Escape

Often called one of the last true hidden gems in the Riviera Maya, Soliman Bay remains one of the most secluded and private beaches near Tulum. While much of the region has evolved into a bustling and crowded hotspot, this tranquil bay has remarkably kept its authentic soul and untouched charm intact, a truly rare find in today’s fast-paced travel landscape.

Located just 15 km north of Tulum and approximately 1.5 hours south of Cancun International Airport, Soliman Bay is close enough to conveniently explore everything Tulum has to offer, yet far enough away to feel like an exclusive, private paradise reserved only for those seeking peace and serenity.

A Place Where Time Flows Slower

Soliman Bay has a quiet history. In the 1990s, the only sign of life here was a rustic beach restaurant, a few palm trees, and the sound of waves. Decades later, despite the rise of boutique hotels and villas, it still feels like a retreat into nature, a secret worth keeping.
At Jashita Tulum, we honor this timeless charm. Our 30 luxury suites are designed to blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings, preserving the bay’s simplicity: White Sands, Swaying Palms, and Gentle Breezes. Here, you won’t find loud music or beach crowds, just the slow rhythm of the sea and the feeling that you’ve arrived somewhere truly special.

The Coral Reef That Protects and Enchants

What makes Soliman Bay even more unique is the coral reef located just offshore, which is part of the extensive Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest barrier reef in the world. This remarkable natural wonder creates a lagoon-like environment characterized by calm and shallow waters, making it an ideal spot for swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the vibrant underwater world. The reef serves a dual role as both a protector of the bay’s serene waters and a playground for marine enthusiasts. Here, you can snorkel alongside a diverse array of vibrant marine life, from colorful tropical fish to graceful rays gliding effortlessly. Paddleboarding or kayaking over the turquoise, glass-like waters offers a peaceful connection to the sea. You may even have the rare opportunity to observe sea turtles in their natural habitat, without the distraction of crowds or commercial tours.

Just you and the vast, beautiful ocean. This kind of untouched marine magic is truly something you won’t find in the busier, more tourist-filled bays nearby.

Close to Everything, Far from It All

Though it feels like a world apart, Soliman Bay places you right at the heart of the Riviera Maya. In just a short drive, you can:

Visit the Tulum Ruins, perched dramatically above the turquoise sea, where history and breathtaking views converge, offering a glimpse into the ancient Mayan civilization.
Swim in sacred cenotes hidden deep within the jungle, crystal-clear natural pools that provide a refreshing and spiritual experience surrounded by lush greenery.
Explore Tulum Beach’s bohemian boutiques and restaurants, where handcrafted goods and gourmet cuisine reflect the creative spirit of the local community.

Yet, when you return to Jashita, you're welcomed not by crowds, but by stillness, a sanctuary of peace and luxury, allowing you to disconnect and recharge in serene privacy.
