Lumina at Mudra Tulum

Lumina at Mudra Tulum Overview

First Impressions

Walking into Lumina at Mudra Tulum, you immediately sense this isn’t your typical beachside hotel. The design feels intentional — clean lines mixed with natural textures that somehow manage to feel both modern and rooted in the jungle setting. I mean, Tulum has no shortage of boutique properties, but this four-star spot strikes a nice balance between sophistication and that laid-back vibe the area is known for. The staff actually remembers your name after the first day, which honestly surprised me.

Location & Getting Around

The location on Calle Asunción puts you right in the sweet spot — close enough to the action but far enough from the main drag that you’re not dealing with constant noise. You’re about a 10-minute bike ride to the beach (they’ll set you up with bikes), and the cenotes are easily accessible if you rent a car. Speaking of which, the free parking on-site is actually a big deal here since finding a spot in Tulum can be… well, let’s just say it’s not always straightforward. Couples seem to really get this location — I can see why, since you can walk to dinner spots without the hassle of calling a taxi every time.

The Accommodations

My room had this gorgeous natural light that filters through strategically placed windows, and the bathroom — honestly, it’s one of those spaces where you don’t mind taking your time getting ready. The beds are comfortable without being overly plush, and there’s enough space to actually unpack your suitcase, which isn’t always a given in boutique properties. You know what I appreciated? The air conditioning works properly (trust me, this matters in the Yucatan heat), but they’ve designed the space so you can also enjoy natural ventilation when the weather’s right.

Dining & Amenities

The on-site restaurant focuses on local ingredients, and their breakfast game is solid — fresh fruit, good coffee, and they do this thing with eggs that I’m still thinking about. The pool area becomes the social hub during the day, but it never feels overcrowded. There’s also a small spa that offers treatments using local ingredients, though I’d recommend booking ahead since they only have a few treatment rooms. The whole property has this calm energy that makes you want to slow down, which is exactly what you want in Tulum.

Why Guests Love It

What really sets this place apart is how they’ve managed to create something that feels authentic without trying too hard. The 8.7 rating makes sense when you experience how smoothly everything runs — from check-in to getting recommendations for cenote visits. It’s not trying to be the flashiest option in town, but rather a place where you can actually relax and enjoy what Tulum has to offer. The fact that recent guests keep rating it so highly tells you they’re doing something right, and after staying here, I get it.

Tulum hotels connect nomads with coworking cabanas, lagoon paddle tours, and boutique galleries in Aldea Zama.

  Wow, these place is is a true oasis in the middle of Tulum. Apt was specious, modern and tastefully designed, staff is quiet and handy. Don't think twice and book this place, there is no match to it in the area.

• Joanna from United Kingdom (9/10)

  Our apartment was excellent, well equipped, clean and very well decorated, just like the photos. We were the only ones there and the facilities team were always available and communicative. It is located close to the buzzing street in La Veletta, with lots of bars and retsaurants.

  The pool was a respite in the august heat and it was close to cafes and restaurants

• Julie from United States (9/10)

  The apartment was very clean and was decorated nicely in a trendy boho theme. There was plenty of room and was very much like home. It was quiet and the air conditioning units worked great in the intense heat of August! There was 24 hour security and we felt safe. It is located in central Tulum with several close by restaurants to walk to. It is very affordable and the penthouse can accommodate up to 8 people.

• Gregory from United States (9/10)

  The penthouse was absolutely amazing. Big living room and dining room soon as you walk in. The patio off the living room with private pool was stunning. It’s a half bath in the hallway. The first room on the left has 4 bunk beds and its own patio. The 2nd bedroom has a queen, and its own patio, with a full bath in between the two room. The Master OMG. King bed, huge patio. Walk in closet and thhe bathroom with double vanities and a nice sized shower. But off the shower there is an outside shower 😍😍. It was 4 of us and we didn’t feel cramped. Coming out the property to the left it’s some local restaurants and down the street it’s some mini stores and an ice cream shop. To the right of the property is the main road. The older lady that’s a security guard, is always on point. We met with the guy about atvs and he brought them to the property and she stood at the door the entire time which was about an hour making sure we was safe and okay.
