Video Tour of Azulik Villas in Tulum, Mexico
The terms “beachfront” and “eco-lodge” seem to get thrown around a lot these days.
Many hotels and resorts located within 100 meters of the water claim to be seaside or beachfront, some without even a proper view of the water! Similarly, numerous “eco-lodges” promote the green initiative, yet air conditioners blast cold air relentlessly throughout the day and night.
We are happy to report that the Azulik Villas on the coast of Tulum can proudly boast that it is both “beachfront” and “eco-friendly”.
The palapa-roofed seaside villas are built on top of shallow cliffs that hang over the turquoise Caribbean waters. Nothing gets in the way of your brilliant views of the colourful sea below.
The rooms do not have electricity. There are no lights or power outlets. There are no telephones or televisions. Instead, candles supply the light, the sea provides the entertainment and the cool ocean breeze keeps the temperature just right.

Aside from exploring the nearby Tulum Ruins, the majority of our time in Mexico was spent on the wooden deck of our beachfront villa. Each villa has a private tub that rests on the edge of the deck, serving up spectacular panoramic views of the Caribbean.
It was easily the most unique and memorable soak we’ve had! Click here to see the Twitpic of our private tub.
The absence of electricity forced us to open our books and commit to days of uninterrupted relaxation (I know, tough gig!). The soothing sound of water crashing on the shore quickly became the soundtrack of our private Mexican retreat.
Simply put - you have no choice but to unplug, relax and enjoy the view!

I love, love, love that there is no electricity! Without electricity, it’s definitely a lot easier to give yourself permission to grab a book and truly relax!
Hi, I really enjoyed your blog post on the peace and tranquility you can find in Mexico. Thanks so much for sharing. I blog about retiring in Mexico- I hope you’ll take a look at it: http://www.retireinnayarit.com. Have a great day! Rick
yay! I’m heading to Tulum in a few weeks – it’s the Launch spot of my whole adventure south. And being that I’m serious about keeping it authentically ‘green’, I was stoked to read this. Bravo and muchas muchas gracias!
Happy Trails, L
This is a great place. I love beaches. And as well getting involve in some friends adventures. I am sure that there are a lot of wonderful beaches in Mexico.
