Casa Gitano - New Hotel in Tulum, Mexico

Tulum’s Serene Southern Coastline

Nestled within a lush coconut grove on a stretch of pristine white sand, Casa Gitano offers direct access to the southern coast of Tulum, just a stone’s throw from the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Here, the pace is slow, the air scented with salt and tropical vegetation, and the horizon stretches endlessly over sparkling turquoise waters. Guests wake to the gentle rhythm of the waves, wander between sun‑drenched terraces, and discover quiet corners of sand and jungle — a serene contrast to the vibrant energy of Tulum’s northern beaches.

A Bohemian Beach Retreat

Originally opened in 2025 and relaunched in early 2026, Casa Gitano is the next chapter of the globally recognized Gitano universe. Founded by James Gardner and Andrew Cramer, the property reflects the brand’s signature aesthetic of crystal chandeliers, neon accents, and disco balls, harmonized with natural materials and tropical greenery. The first Gitano concept debuted in 2013 with the legendary jungle restaurant and mezcal bar in Tulum, quickly becoming a magnet for international creatives and the fashion scene. Casa Gitano now carries that legacy forward, offering 35 rooms and suites with plans to expand by 25 additional rooms and a private members section by the end of 2027.

Harmonizing Rustic and Modern

Casa Gitano exudes a playful elegance where high‑fashion sensibilities meet the serenity of the tropics. Interiors balance vibrant, contemporary touches — from sparkling chandeliers to neon‑lit accents and playful disco elements — with raw, natural materials such as woven fibers, teak, and stone. Open‑air terraces, shaded lounges, and garden pathways create seamless indoor‑outdoor living, letting guests immerse themselves in the lush surroundings while still indulging in glamorous details at every turn.

Intimate Beachfront Comfort

With 35 rooms and suites, each accommodation offers a harmonious mix of comfort, style, and intimacy. Beachfront rooms boast terraces with direct access to sand, while jungle‑facing suites provide peaceful hideaways surrounded by greenery. Interiors feature airy layouts, neutral palettes punctuated with bold accents, and luxurious touches such as rain showers, handcrafted furnishings, and boutique linens. Every room is designed to invite guests into a personal, restorative retreat without losing the playful glamour of the property.

Caribbean Flavors and Mezcal Nights

Culinary experiences at Casa Gitano reflect the brand’s celebrated heritage. Gitano Beach, the beachfront restaurant, offers breakfast and lunch directly on the sand, with fresh local ingredients prepared in a Mediterranean-Mexican style. Evening dining at Salón Gitano evokes a more atmospheric energy, where Executive Chef Sebastián Cacho crafts ceviches, tostadas, tacos, and grilled specialties that balance tradition with innovation. Nearby, the iconic Gitano Jungle restaurant continues to draw international guests for mezcal cocktails, candlelit dinners, and legendary nightlife beneath glittering disco balls.

A Grounding Retreat

Wellness at Casa Gitano is both holistic and nature-connected. The Gitano Shala hosts yoga, meditation, and movement classes designed to reconnect body and mind. Guests can also enjoy sound healing, cacao ceremonies, ice-bath rituals, and massages arranged via the concierge. The focus here is on grounding, immersive experiences that mirror Tulum’s unhurried rhythm, blending ocean breezes, jungle greenery, and mindful practices to nurture both energy and tranquility.

Bohemian Escape at the Edge of Paradise

Casa Gitano Tulum is more than a hotel — it is a celebration of life, design, and the natural beauty of the Riviera Maya. Between the jungle and the sea, between shimmering lights and soft sand, every detail invites you to linger, to savor, and to let yourself be fully enveloped by the effortless glamour of Tulum.
