Why Tulum Selections

From vision to a meaningful retreat

Carefully selected villas, boutique hotels and retreat venues — matched to your retreat's vision, group and budget.

Trusted Local Partners

A network of wellness practitioners, facilitators and local professionals, built through years of real relationships across Riviera Maya.

Experience Design

Thoughtful guidance in shaping your retreat concept, guest experience and overall flow — so the week feels effortless.

Local Support

Reliable on-the-ground coordination before and during your retreat, so you stay fully present with your guests.

About

Hola, I'm Emilia

I design retreats in the place I call home. Tulum Selections grew out of years of living and working in Riviera Maya — walking its venues, swimming its cenotes, and building real friendships with the practitioners, chefs and hosts who make this coast what it is.

When you bring me your retreat, you're not getting a directory — you're getting a person who has stood in every space she recommends, and who stays beside you from the first idea to the last goodbye circle.

Official Partner

In partnership with SEVA Tulum

Tulum Selections is an official retreat-design partner of SEVA Tulum — which means your retreat can draw on a private-villa collection and an operations team most planners simply don't have.

The villas

A managed collection of private luxury villas for 2 to 30 guests — including Casa Xolo, the estate Netflix called "the secret hideaway that conquered the world."

Everything in-villa

Private chefs, in-villa spa, breathwork, sound healing, cenote journeys and a physician-led wellness team — brought to your venue, coordinated as one.

Priced live, booked per seat

Your retreat is composed in the SEVA Retreat Builder — real villas, real availability, real pricing — then published as a booking page where each guest reserves their own seat. No spreadsheets, no chasing payments.
