Tankah

A secluded reef-protected bay just south of Soliman Bay and about 10 minutes north of Tulum, Tankah pairs calm, shallow turquoise water with a rare mix of reef, seagrass and mangrove.

Its signature feature is Casa Cenote (Cenote ManatI), an open cenote where an underground river meets the sea beside the mangroves, popular for snorkelling and diving.

It is quiet and villa-lined, with no beach clubs, and a sea-turtle nesting site.
