The Taste of Saudi

From desserts to seasonal drinks, delicious sweets, snacks and , of course, the unmissable national dish of kabsa, these are foods to know and try: Arekah, Mantu, Saudi Qahwa, Hanini, Sobia, Sambosa, Yughmush, and Sahlab – so consider an Authentic Arabian Food Tour for any visit to Saudi.
"A Mexican home with an Italian heart"
Jashita wasn't born as a hotel
The unique, cozy, private and homey atmosphere you can experience at Jashita, comes from the fact that it used to be exactly that: a home.
And “feeling at home” is still today what we aim for our Guests. This is what makes it so unique. Our Guests end up feeling at home theirselves, and most of them return to visit us through the years, becoming part of the family.
The family that owns Jashita is an Italian family. They come from north-east Italy, from the Treviso province.
The owner, Mr. Enrico, was traveling around Riviera Maya back in the early 90s and fell in love with the area.
He discovered a secluded bay (Soliman Bay), north of Tulum Town, and decided to build a house there for his family.
Back then, Tulum was nothing more than a small village. There was no electricity and no running water in the bay. And barely any neighbors.
They would always have friends and family visiting from all over the world, and this gave them the idea to turn their home into a boutique hotel.
Little by little, they enlarged the building and opened Jashita Hotel in 2010, along with Pandano Restaurant.
Still today, Jashita is the only hotel in Soliman Bay. And it is still a family-run business.
