Casa Malca live cam

Casa Malca is a boutique hotel on the Tulum beach road, south of the Maya city on its cliffs. It occupies a former private mansion that an art collector bought in the early 2010s and turned into a hotel of about 70 rooms and suites, with contemporary works from his collection hung through the building and the rooms.

Its camera, which the hotel publishes on its own website, looks straight out to sea over a wide strip of open sand. There is no landmark in the frame, and that is what makes it useful: it shows the waves, the wind, the light over the water and whether seaweed has washed up on this part of Tulum's coast, where small hotels sit among the dunes and low forest rather than in towers. It is the camera this site uses for Tulum beach.

The camera is streamed through ipcamlive, a cloud service that relays IP cameras to the web. It plays here in the same public player the hotel uses on its own page, with the hotel credited beside it.

Since the hotel shows it under its own name, its ownership is clear. Its limits are those of any single hotel camera: one fixed view, chosen by the hotel, and the possibility that it stops for a while when the hotel's connection fails or the camera is serviced.
