CURATED AMENITIES & SERVICES
Fostering A Sense of Community
While the most compelling aspect of life at Candela is the pristine natural surroundings, it is the lifestyle in totality that truly makes the community unlike any other offering in Tulum. Rooted in a mission to improve quality of life for residents, even when not present in Tulum, Candela has designed amenities and services to support holistic health, focusing on an integrative approach that nourishes each aspect of one’s well-being—physical, emotional, intellectual, environmental, spiritual and social. From thoughtfully designed central spaces to each carefully curated experience, Candela presents a comprehensive living experience that inspires and elevates daily life, both in Tulum as well as around the world.
THE ARBORETUM
Reminiscent of an ancient Mayan settlement, villas surround a central, modern arboretum, a botanical garden-like setting beneath the shade of the jungle trees at the heart of Candela. Designed for intimate gatherings and grand festivities, The Arboretum provides a source of restoration, connection and engagement. Here, slow mornings lead to long, casual afternoons that heat up as the sun sets and the jungle comes alive. Secluded walking paths, communal fire pits, observation zones and casual lounge areas make the destination an integral part of everyday life at Candela.
Private Candela
Beach Reserve
Nestled on a serene stretch of Caribbean beach, where nature is the music, lies the Candela Beach Reserve. Immerse yourself in the transformative setting while enjoying private amenities such as an open-air kitchen, meditation spots and plush lounges. Enhance your time seaside with á la carte experiences, including massages, artisan meals and wellness sessions.
ZOCO RESIDENT’S LOUNGE
A gathering place for both day and night, Zoco comes to life within Candela as the backdrop of the community. From welcoming you the moment of arrival to hosting private dining experiences and workshops, Zoco forges lasting connections in its lobby, chef’s kitchen, lounge and boutique, which offers locally sourced, artisan products that align with Candela’s sustainable initiatives.
HOLISTIC WELLNESS
PROGRAM
Haumn, a full-service wellness consultancy, has created an exclusive holistic wellness program at Candela that features unified services, experiences and activations to proactively support well-being. Residents can take an active role in events like yoga classes, guided meditation, chef’s dinners and nightly rituals, or enjoy more passive elements implemented throughout the community, such as morning coffee and tea produced locally with organic, natural ingredients. Stretching outside the natural-stone walls of Candela, the program also provides the chance to experience Tulum in a meaningful, inspiring way that aligns with the holistic ecosystem established at Candela.
