A Private Jungle Day · By SEVA Tulum

The Uh May Day

Tulum's most extraordinary secret, made effortless — a private day inside AZULIK's living-art jungle campus, an afternoon in a crystalline cenote, and an optional chef dinner to close it. Everything is booked, driven and timed before you get up.

The Vision

A Day Inside Living Art

AZULIK Uh May is not a tourist attraction — it's an entirely different world, and like the best of Tulum, it rewards those who know where to look.

SFER IK

Architecture that feels grown, not built

Built entirely from natural materials — bejuco wood, rattan, clay and living plants — SFER IK is a three-storey biomorphic structure with winding, cave-like galleries and permanent installations from artists around the world. No white walls. No velvet ropes. No right angles.

We've designed a full private day around it: a shuttle from your villa, covered entry, time at the campus restaurant, an afternoon at a cenote, then the full SFER IK walk. You show up — we handle the rest.

Your day runs from late morning to sunset — built around you, never around a tour group.

Private Pickup

Your driver arrives at your villa in a comfortable AC vehicle. No shared vans, no meeting points — we come to you, on time.

Pre-arranged entry to SFER IK — three floors of biomorphic galleries and immersive art you have to touch to believe.

Settle into Jungle Cuisine, the campus restaurant woven into the jungle. Order at your own pace; food & drinks at your expense.

04

A short drive to one of Tulum's finest cenotes — crystal-clear ancient water in cathedral light. Swim, snorkel, or simply float.

05

Return at Sunset

Your driver returns you directly to your villa. Unhurried, no group drop-offs — your day ends as it began, on your terms.

~1:30 PM · Lunch on Campus

Jungle Cuisine by AZULIK

The campus restaurant is a destination in itself — woven-rattan tables set among the foliage, a waterfall and pool, the dining room flowing straight out of the SFER IK museum. The kitchen is plant-forward Mayan fine dining: native ingredients, ancestral technique, dishes plated like sculpture.

We build time into your day to eat here at your own pace. À la carte and a five-course tasting are available; food & drinks are at your own expense.

3:00 PM · The Cenote

Cathedral light, ancient water

After the museum we take you to a cenote — a freshwater sinkhole sacred to the Maya, where shafts of light fall through the jungle onto impossibly clear water. Swim, snorkel, photograph, or simply float in the stillness. It's the moment most guests say they didn't speak for twenty minutes.

And the cenote is your call. We offer three of our favourites — each a completely different kind of magic. Pick yours when you book; we arrange the transport, entry and every logistic.

Your Choice of Cenote

Pick your kind of magic

Three favourites, three completely different feelings — you choose which one we take you to.

Private club

Vesica Cenote Club

Two crystalline cenotes inside a members' club — daybeds, a restaurant, ice baths and yoga. The polished, exclusive choice, and always seaweed-free.

Open jungle

Cenote Zemway

A wild open-air cenote ringed by jungle cliffs — clear, deep water, often near-empty, with a rope swing and a cliff jump for the brave.

Cave

Cenote Chen-Ha

An underground cave cenote: stalactites overhead, a single shaft of daylight on glassy water, hushed and a little mystical. The dramatic one.

Vesica in Motion

See It for Yourself

A glimpse inside Vesica Cenote Club — the polished, members-only option from the three above.

Optional Add-On

Close the day with a private chef

Return from the jungle to a private chef at your villa. SEVA's culinary team prepares a seasonal dinner with local ingredients, served on your terrace as the Tulum night begins — a natural, unhurried close to an extraordinary day.

In Their Words

"Uh May was the only thing I photographed in Tulum and didn't immediately scroll past. I've never seen architecture that felt alive. And the cenote after — I didn't speak for twenty minutes."
