Ixum - A Haven of Creativity and Culture
Summary: Ixum is more than just a hotel; it is a space where culture, gastronomy, and creativity meet. Located on the iconic Avenida Nader, among Cancún’s most historic neighborhoods, this urban retreat blends contemporary design with traditional elements. Featuring a versatile leisure terrace, a restaurant that honors Mexican cuisine with global influences, and rooms inspired by cultural symbols, Ixum offers an authentic experience for travelers seeking more than just a conventional stay.
The Space: Ixum is designed for those who appreciate beauty in details. From palm-thatched roofs that evoke local architecture to rooms adorned with Oaxacan art and Guatemalan textiles, every corner tells a story. Each room has a unique identity: Alma, Ome, Maíz, and Alux—four symbols that represent the essence of the project. These four rooms with their private bathrooms and 2 TV rooms, allow you to enjoy the place accompanied only by your favorite people! Common areas include a pool surrounded by private gardens, hammocks, and lounge chairs for relaxation. The leisure terrace is the heart of the hotel: by day, a space for coffee and conversation; by night, a venue for gatherings and live performances. The hotel shop showcases artisan pieces, fostering cultural exchange and appreciation.
Guest Access: Guests have access to all common areas, including the pool, leisure terrace, and restaurant. Ixum is designed to cater to diverse travelers, whether they are in transit, passionate about fine dining, or looking for a cultural experience. Additionally, one crib is available upon request for those traveling with family.
The Neighborhood: Located on Avenida Nader, Ixum is surrounded by a vibrant and bohemian atmosphere. This neighborhood has transformed from a residential area into a cultural hotspot, with cafés, open-air restaurants, and hidden murals decorating the streets. Just a short drive away, guests can reach the Caribbean beaches, the ferry terminal to Isla Mujeres, and the exclusive Puerto Cancún. The area is ideal for strolling, exploring local markets, and experiencing the city’s authentic charm.
Getting Around: Ixum's privileged location allows guests to move around easily. It is recommended to explore the area on foot or by bicycle to enjoy its urban charm. For longer distances, options such as Uber, cab and public transportation are available. The beach is only a 5-minute drive or 30-minute walk away, and the ferry terminal for visiting Isla Mujeres is within walking distance.
