Hilton has announced the opening of Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort, marking the company’s first-ever all-inclusive offering in Tulum. Located beyond the mangroves and overlooking the white-sand beaches and Caribbean coastline of the Riviera Maya, the beachside resort is a destination unto itself, offering a new kind of retreat for travelers seeking great service and extensive amenities alongside enriching culture and lasting experiences. The resort offers rooms and suites in three-story villa-style buildings, a variety of dining experiences including five signature restaurants, a vast selection of entertainment, activities and pools and a dedicated, secluded Family Zone with a water park playground. With 735 rooms, Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort is Hilton’s largest resort in the Caribbean and Latin America and joins the campus of the recently debuted Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya, with nearly 30 additional Hilton-branded properties set to open in Mexico in the coming years.
“As we continue to strategically expand our footprint across the Caribbean and Latin America, Mexico remains a priority as we move closer to reaching 100 hotels in the country, which represents our 5th largest in number of hotels, in the next four years”, said Danny Hughes, executive vice president and president, Americas, Hilton. “The opening of Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort is an incredibly exciting addition to our rapidly growing portfolio of premier all-inclusive resorts in the most sought-after beachfront destinations around the globe.”
“Tulum provides a unique market to expand and elevate our all-inclusive footprint and showcase our diverse range of brand experiences to
meet the needs of travelers,” said Matt Schuyler, chief brand officer, Hilton. “Joining Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya and the anticipated debut of our first lifestyle property in the region, Motto by Hilton Tulum, the opening of Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort provides guests with even more options to experience our brands in this desirable travel destination. Bringing Hilton’s unrivaled all-inclusive hospitality to Tulum opens up a world of possibilities for those looking to immerse themselves in this extraordinary destination in a whole new way.”
“We are proud to see the vision of Hilton Tulum come to life and serve as the largest and most impactful self-sustained resort in the region,” said Charles Elmann Fasja, developer of Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort and Parks Hospitality Holdings CEO. “With more development underway, we look forward to continuing our partnership with Hilton throughout Mexico. I would like to thank all of Parks and Hilton’s teams for all their hard work in making these amazing projects a reality.”

Designed by HBA San Francisco to integrate the stay experience with the unique natural environment of Tulum, each touch point of the resort’s design brings guests together with the spirit of the destination through considered details – from pathways that weave from each guest room’s doorstep through dense palm trees leading to the ocean, to materials sourced from local artisans.

Each of the resort’s 59 suites features ocean-facing balconies alongside large living and dining areas and spacious king bedrooms with comfortable sitting areas.
