Just 22 miles south of Tulum, Casa Chablé offers a nature-immersive experience with 12 acres of tropical jungle and a 656-foot-long beach. The hotel offers five bedrooms in the main villa and five bungalows dotted along the beach. The interiors reflect local traditions and the walls are dotted with colorful textiles.
