Featuring two of the highest-rated golf courses in Mexico, Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya is also one of the best properties in the region for a wellness escape. The resort excels on the “rest and relaxation” side of a vacation with its five pools, private beach, 11 restaurants and bars, and all-inclusive spa — all of which makes it an exceptional choice for a fulfilling golf-focused vacation.

With access to a pair of stunning and challenging designs, it’s only fitting that Conrad Tulum’s golf experience makes playing these courses as simple as can be. Guests who book this specific offering will enjoy one round for two at the iconic El Camaleón Mayakoba (pictured above) and one at PGA Riviera Maya Bahia Principe, so the basics are covered. Transportation to each course is included, as is a discount for food and beverage, so all you have to decide is if you’re bringing or renting clubs.

Following each round, head to the Conrad Spa Tulum to rest in the sauna, dip in the ice bath to cool off, or indulge in one of the many massage offerings. The resort’s dedication to preserving Tulum’s culture is a cornerstone of the spa experience. This is why many of the spa rituals are continuations of indigenous tribes’ traditions from modern Mexico. They offer wraps, stone massages, herbal rituals, and facials using local ingredients.

If the chill of an ice bath sounds a bit too extreme after a day at the course but you’re still yearning for the soothing relaxation of water, exploring the beaches and caves just outside of the Conrad Tulum is the best option for an introduction to the local culture. 

Only a 20-minute drive from the premises, the Gran Cenote is a swimming hole with crystal-blue water and caves. With waters deemed sacred by the Mayans and their devotion to the rain god, maybe a swim here will magically fix those stubborn hooks — who knows? 

Since the Gran Cenote has an entrance fee of $25 per person, another option is to snorkel, paddle board, swim, or lounge at Conrad Tulum’s private beach. The water is warm year-round lending itself to a post-round plunge.
