In Mayan, the indigenous tongue of the Yucatán Peninsula, “Naj” translates into “home in the jungle,” which is exactly what every traveler will find during their stay at Naj Tulum.
While other cities’ histories fade, Tulum’s becomes more nuanced and vibrant over time. Ancient Mayan civilization began in approximately 1500 BCE, and the town was one of the last they built and inhabited. Yet, everywhere you turn today, the abiding legacy of Mayan culture persists.
At Naj, the past, present, and future merge like the waves on the pristine Caribbean shore. The influence of the ancient Mayan empire persists to this day—the property’s architectural details are even imbued with Mayan-inspired flourishes. Located near the coast and in the tropics, this unspoiled locale offers restoration and respite for the mind, body, and soul.
The design of the Naj translates this influence into fourteen exclusive apartments divided into four levels. Each space is informed by Mayan figures, textiles, textures, and styles. Ever under the natural world's influence, Naj synchronizes with the extensive surrounding vegetation and glistening waters.
