    Habitas Tulum – Mexico

    Luxury hotel group Habitas was founded by Oliver Ripley, Kfir Levy and Eduardo Castillo back in 2014 with the aim to bring a like-minded community together with a love for travel, connection and authentic experiences. “We were building something for ourselves, an experience that didn’t exist,” Ripley previously told Emirates Woman. The first location the group opened was its Tulum property, back in 2016. The property features a mixture of jungle rooms, pool rooms, oceanfront rooms and ocean breeze rooms, all of which are designed to “coexist with nature”, built with sustainability in mind, using materials with no impact on its surrounding environment. The Tulum-based resort encourages its guests to immerse themselves in the local culture and experience through music, wellness, adventure, art and more. Eight years since launching, the group now has five properties under its name, with six more sets to open soon.
