Arthouse stands directly on the shoreline of Tankah Bay, a quieter stretch of coast just north of Tulum inside a private community with security. The architecture is bold and brutalist, with modern, minimal interiors and generous indoor and outdoor living areas built for groups. There is a pool facing the beach, a gym, and kayaks and paddleboards for the bay, and a cenote is nearby.
Seven bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms sleep 16 comfortably and 18 at most. Two oceanfront master suites are positioned just above the water. Four rooms have a king bed, two have two double beds each and one has a queen bed. Groups of adults should note that the two double-bed rooms work best for friends happy to share or for kids.
Chef service runs daily from 8 AM to 8 PM for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with extra hours billed separately. Groceries carry a 20% provisioning markup on top of the cost, which is worth factoring into the budget for a group of 16. Daily housekeeping and concierge support before and during the stay are included.
Unlike many villas on this coast, Arthouse is a party-friendly home and accepts weddings and events; tell us your plans early so we can clear them with the manager. The neighborhood still asks for quiet after 10 PM, so plan celebrations for the daytime and early evening.
The house is on multiple levels with stairs, so it is less suited to guests with limited mobility. Tulum is about ten minutes away by car, so a dinner or two in town is easy to fit in.
