Sustainability

Living in Harmony with Mexico & Mother Nature

Eco-friendly resorts and hotels rooted in a deep respect for the land, the sea and the community that surrounds them.

Named for the Mayan sun god “Kinich Ahau”, meaning “universal consciousness”, the Ahau Collection is committed to promoting natural harmony and organic experiences rooted in a deep respect for Mother Nature. Our hotels and resorts in Tulum are more than just a place to stay and visit — they are a community dedicated to environmental sustainability, harmony and health. From the sourcing of ingredients used in our restaurants, to the building of our casitas and cabanas on the beach, to our eco-conscious amenities and water preservation practices, everything the Ahau Collection does is with a mindful eye on the earth.

Award-Winning Green Key Hotels in Mexico

Through its commitment to the environment and the three pillars of sustainability — environmental, sociocultural and economic — three members of the Ahau Collection have achieved Green Key certification in Mexico. In addition to our focus on sustainable hospitality and eco-friendly initiatives, the collection is committed to improvements and projects in the local community and in nature: from stimulating economic growth and creating jobs for local residents in Tulum, to protecting marine life and nature preserves, to limiting food waste and ending hunger.
