The Hot Escape
Tropical heat and under-palm relaxing for serious downtime – MEXICO




La Valise Tulum La Valise is inspired by the natural beauty of the Tulum jungle. Palapa ceilings, stripped wood furniture, blonde and azure hues and Yutucan textiles all combine to make this all you could dream of in a Mexican escape. Palm-lined sandy paths connect each area of the tiny nine-roomed resort. There’s no spa, but treatments are provided in-room and the restaurant is an exotic al fresco affair serving alternative takes on familiar Mexican classics. lavalisetulum.com

Viceroy Riviera Maya With 41 suites this adult-only, low rise escapee is as peaceful as it comes. Pack light so you can make use of the kit on site as the hotel loans guests sombreros, books and snorkelling gear. For a true touch of luxe, book a thatched Royal Villa for your own butler, pool, hammock, huge soaking tub and indoor-outdoor showers. viceroyhotelsandresorts.com
