ROBERT DE NIROS DREAM IN TULUM OPENS DOORS

TULUM, Mexico—As the sun sets on the pristine beaches of Tulum, a new star rises on the horizon of luxury tourism. Robert De Niro, the acclaimed Oscar-winning actor, and his business partners are set to open a lavish 200-room hotel in this coastal paradise. This endeavor is a mere expansion of his global hotel portfolio and a landmark 30th establishment under the Nobu Hospitality banner, co-founded with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and producer Meir Teper.


This ambitious project promises to redefine luxury in the Riviera Maya, offering more than just a high-end resting place in the Mexican Caribbean. The hotel aims to be a premier destination for weddings and special events, boasting various amenities catering to the most discerning travelers.

Positioned on the scenic Tulum coastline, the hotel will feature accommodations that range from standard rooms to opulent villas. The on-site Nobu restaurant, a result of the collaboration between Chef Nobuyuki Matsuhisa and the hotel chain, is poised to offer gourmet dining experiences with a menu that blends traditional Japanese dishes with Peruvian influences optimized for the tropical setting.

Guests will also enjoy unique culinary experiences in a seaside setting, perfect for hosting special celebrations. The complex will include 12 event halls for corporate meetings and social gatherings.


Further enhancing its luxury profile, the development plans include the construction of 50 beachside residences. These homes will offer residents a taste of the exclusive lifestyle that characterizes Tulum, one of the Caribbean’s most sought-after destinations.

The Tulum Times has learned that the project’s first official step has been to submit a unified technical document to the Secretariat of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), signaling the beginning of what promises to be a significant boost to local tourism and economy.

Local sources further reveal that the complex may feature up to three lodging centers and 44 apartments, encompassing over 560 rooms, thus expanding its capacity to host many visitors and residents alike.


This development comes as Tulum is increasingly recognized not only for its natural beauty but also as a hub for sustainable tourism. The partnership with Nobu Hospitality is expected to set new standards in eco-friendly practices, aligning with the region’s environmental policies to protect its unique ecosystem while accommodating growing tourist numbers.

As Tulum continues to attract global attention, the arrival of such a high-profile investment underscores its evolution from a quiet beach town to a bustling tourist haven. The strategic involvement of figures like De Niro and Nobu Matsuhisa highlights the area’s growing international appeal and potential to draw a luxury-seeking crowd.


This hotel is poised to boost Tulum’s local economy and bring a new level of luxury to the Riviera Maya. It will offer unparalleled services that promise to enchant visitors and locals alike.

This project represents a significant milestone in Tulum’s expanding tourist sector, signaling the area’s ongoing transformation and its readiness to host world-class developments. As construction progresses, The Tulum Times will continue to provide updates on this exciting venture, ensuring our readers are informed every step of the way.
