"Lula has been a wonderful experience. The hotel is beautifully decorated and on a quiet stretch of Tulum beach. Lula’s Kitchen is fantastic, arguably one of the best restaurants to eat at in Tulum. Staff are also friendly and attentive. We tried the onsite yoga classes, did a sound healing meditation and especially enjoyed the breath work workshop and ice bath session with Eryck. It is definitely a top hotel to visit for all things wellness - from the beach, to the food and activities it has been an amazing trip!"

There was the perfect balance of adventure, fun, and restoration, whether we were exploring the beauty of Fiji or sinking into deep, nourishing practices. Bhavani and Ram created such a welcoming atmosphere that we instantly felt like family. It was more than a retreat, it was an unforgettable experience that left us feeling lighter, stronger, and more connected."
