Session One: Building with Bamboo

On-site Villa: The Turquoise Petit Hotel

The Accommodations - Where You’ll Stay

Turquoise Petit Hotel is a small hotel located in La Valeta, a chic neighborhood conveniently located in the heart of Tulum. The neighborhood is a unique mix of maya jungle and modern low-rise buildings.

Calle 7, is one of the most popular streets in La Valeta and is lined with small restaurants, intimate coffee shops, bakeries and bespoke stores. The streets here are much quieter than in the city center and more authentic than what you’ll find in the hotel district.

The Amenities - Features You’ll Enjoy

The hotel has three swimming pools and a jacuzzi, community areas to gather with fellow team members, and full concierge services to make sure your stay is comfortable.

Registrants also receive a 15% discount at the Turquoise Hotel spa.

Street parking is available on Calle 7 in front of the hotel.

Bikes can be rented at the shop in front of the hotel.

Meals

Meals are included in the all-inclusive package. As a team, we will enjoy meals together including breakfast before heading to the project site, lunch at the project site and dinner back at the hotel after you’ve had time to freshen up.

Meals will be prepared by local chefs with a mix of vegetarion and meat-based options. Alcohol is not included.

The Turquoise Petit Hotel also has a restaurant on the premises. Participants receive 15% discount if they would like to dine there.

Rooms

Participants each have their own individual room equipped with wifi, A/C, full en-suite bathroom, queen bed, mini-fridge, and security safe.

Images are for reference only and represent a few of the many rooms the Turquoise Petit Hotel offers. All rooms have the amenities as described above.

If you have specific needs, the hotel can work with you to help ensure your stay is comfortable.

If you would like to share a room with friend or partner, that option is available if they are also registered participants. Let us know in advance so the hotel can coordinate with you directly.

Check-in is 3PM. Check-out is 11AM. The hotel has a luggage hold area if needed.

FAQ’s

  • The nearest major airport is Cancún International Airport (CUN), roughly 2–2.5 hours from Tulum by road. Most participants coming from the USA fly into Cancún and take the ADO bus directly to Tulum — a comfortable, air-conditioned coach service and a low-carbon option. Buses depart from Cancun Airport Terminals 2, 3, and 4. Tickets can be booked in advance at ado.com.mx or through the ADO app.

    Note that ADO drops you off at the Tulum bus station located in Tulum city center (centro), not directly at the hotel. You will take a short taxi ride from the ADO bus station to the La Valeta neighborhood, Calle 7, Turquoise Petit Hotel.

    Tulum also has its own smaller airport (TQO) but fight options are less frequent and tend to be more expensive.

    We do not offer airport pickup, so please plan your onward travel to Tulum yourself.
