Mi Amor, a charming resort, has emerged as a premier destination for expectant parents seeking a peaceful retreat before the arrival of their little one. Situated within Tulum's newly designated Jaguar National Park, this adults-only hotel is a testament to romance and tranquility, offering a perfect environment for couples to reconnect and relax.
The resort's design prioritizes intimacy, featuring amenities like love seats by the infinity pool, open-air jungle cabanas for spa treatments, and cliffside dining tables ensuring private meals. Mi Amor crafts bespoke experiences, fulfilling every desire of expectant parents for their special journey. Its location on a dramatic rocky bluff within the Jaguar National Park evokes the sultry charm of 1950s Acapulco, blending seamlessly with a tropical aesthetic. With just 20 rooms, the ambiance is akin to a private villa, offering exclusive access to the protected coastline, free from typical beach club crowds or urban noise. While a modest daily entry fee to the park is required, it grants access to nature trails, conservation efforts, and unparalleled views.
Each of Mi Amor's 20 meticulously designed rooms marries chic, minimalist aesthetics with captivating Caribbean vistas. Some rooms boast expansive ocean panoramas, while others open onto vibrant, bird-filled tropical gardens. A highlight for many is the private plunge pool accessible directly from the terrace, offering a luxurious space for a starlit dip. Inside, king-size beds with crisp linens promise restful mornings. Rainfall showers elevate daily routines to spa-like moments, complemented by thoughtful touches such as Nespresso machines, Bluetooth speakers, and sand-toned decor that subtly nods to the hotel's vintage-glamour roots, ensuring ultimate comfort.
The open-air restaurant at Mi Amor serves a Mediterranean-inspired menu, featuring a plethora of pregnancy-friendly options. Guests can enjoy grilled vegetables, fresh handmade pastas, and just-caught fish. An impressive array of mocktails, crafted from fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs, is also available. Dining experiences are flexible, allowing guests to choose between the main dining area or secluded cliffside cabanas for an unhurried meal. Room service is also provided for those desiring a private, in-room experience. The bartenders excel at creating exquisite non-alcoholic beverages, with the "Jungle Fever"—a harmonious blend of pineapple, avocado, mint, basil, vanilla, and agave—being a particular favorite. For a change of scenery, guests can visit Mezzanine, Mi Amor's sister property, a short seven-minute walk away. Perched high on a bluff, Mezzanine’s open-air dining room offers stunning Caribbean views and a menu featuring contemporary Mexican coastal classics, ensuring a delightful culinary adventure.
Mi Amor is meticulously designed for couples to effortlessly unwind. The resort’s centerpiece is a split-level infinity pool, fringed by shaded stone cabanas. A unique feature is the suspended hammock chairs over the pool, inviting guests to drift in serene comfort with their toes gently caressing the cool water. The on-site spa offers specialized treatments for expectant mothers, including prenatal massages focusing on back tension and lymphatic drainage for the legs. The extensive spa menu also includes hot-stone massages, cacao body wraps, and floral soaking baths, all performed in open-air jungle cabanas, enhancing the tropical connection. For those seeking a social yet intimate experience, the hotel offers cocktail classes where mixologists guide guests in crafting mezcal cocktails or mocktails poolside, using fresh seasonal ingredients.
Mi Amor's privileged location within the newly established Jaguar National Park means immediate access to untouched nature. The park, spanning over 600 hectares of jungle and pristine coastline, offers easily accessible eco-trails. Visitors can spot diverse wildlife like spider monkeys and vibrant toucans. Lookout towers provide dual panoramic views of the turquoise Caribbean and the endless green jungle. The park also encompasses a compact archaeological zone with Mayan structures. A complimentary electric shuttle is available for transport between trailheads, or guests can explore at their own leisure. A short bike ride leads to a secluded beach, ideal for swimming or snorkeling with sea turtles. The hotel can also arrange guided excursions with local experts. The renowned Tulum Ruins are just 4 km north, easily reachable by bike along shaded paths, offering a historical excursion complemented by a refreshing beach visit. Well-marked trails and interpretive signs within the park connect the ruins, beaches, bike routes, and exhibits showcasing the region’s rich flora and fauna.
A typical three-night babymoon to Tulum, including airfare, airport transfers, accommodation, meals, and small luxuries like massages or mocktails, generally ranges between $1,700 and $2,000 USD for two. Room rates at Mi Amor usually fall between $175 and $225 USD per night, with some seasonal variations.
Mi Amor is conveniently situated within Jaguar National Park, approximately 90 minutes south of Cancún International Airport or just 45 minutes from the newer Tulum International Airport. Most guests opt for private transfers or rental cars, though taxis from the Tulum bus terminal or nearby hotels are also viable options. As the hotel is located within a protected park area, all visitors are required to pass through a checkpoint and pay a small conservation fee upon entry.
