Nature is incredible, especially in the Riviera Maya. We can even get a little crazy and go glamping! Do you know what that is? Easy: it is camping but without sleeping lying on the floor with a stone that you did not see and not even the sleeping bag can hide, without going to the bathroom in a tree and having more option when bathing and not just frozen water.
The word glamping comes from glamor + camping, but it isn't super glamorous, it's just more… comfortable.

If this experience interests you, in My Guide Mexico we have the ultimate list of the best places to go glamping:

1. Cinco Tulum

Right in Playa Paraíso, this beautiful place is ideal for couples, with incredible ocean views because it is just steps from the beach. The bathrooms are shared with the other guests but you will still have enough privacy. There is a restaurant, bar, WiFi, beach club and they even offer continental breakfast. Its location is privileged if you want to be close to the Tulum ruins. Plan a romantic getaway!

2. Akumal Natura Glamping

Just 10 minutes from Akumal beach, with a cenote within the facilities and many amenities, this beautiful place will welcome you. The bungalows have a private bathroom and shower, terrace, air fan… what more could you ask for? There is even a ceremonial center, restaurant and bar that offer healthy food and drinks. If you want a bike to go around, they will lend you one for free and you can even take an hour of yoga a day for free.

3. Serenity Eco Luxury Tented Camp

In this luxurious camp, you will easily forget that you are not in a hotel. It is full of vegetation and tropical trees, just a few steps from the Caribbean Sea. The tents are spacious and with Asian vibes. There is also a beach club that includes a pool! They have a holistic space where therapists offer various treatments, including organic honey, aloe and oatmeal baths. This charming place is between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, so we recommend spending at least a couple of nights here.

Here are some incredible modern domes, which being right in the jungle make a wonderful visual contrast. From this location you may see toucans, butterflies, frogs, lizards, multicolored birds and even deer. Due to its location, the internet is limited, but the place is so impressive that we recommend dropping your cell phone and enjoying everything that this wonderful place offers. It is also only 15 minutes from the Cenote Dos Ojos, which is one of the most beautiful! Do not miss this place in Chemuyil, you will love it.

The cabins are right in front of the sea, where there are glamping tents or, if you prefer, bamboo teepees. They have a pool, an open-air restaurant and a garden-bar with good cocktails and DJs. They also offer many activities focused on physical and mental well-being, such as cocoa ceremonies, temazcal, book reading, yoga classes and many more activities. They also accept pets, which is a huge plus!
