There is literally nowhere else like it on Earth and Tulum is right in the center of it.
Come and discover the many ways you can experience this extraordinary place and make to most out of your stay in Tulum.

You can book a private villa with elegant, modern decor inspired by the rustic charm & raw natural beauty of Tulum, handcrafted by local artisans. If you like tranquility choose a hotel with a “zen” vibe, or if you want more of a “fun” atmosphere, there are more lively hotels offering DJs and dancing, with a relaxed nightlife scene. There is a party vibe too if that is what you are looking for, with Full moon parties where the dance floor pulses under a blanket of stars and tropical palms sway overhead in the ocean breeze, all just steps away from the waves gently lapping on the seashore.
Spa Hotels
Tulum itself is known as a Sanctuary for healing, as it was founded by the Mayans as the Spa Retreat for the Mayan kings. If you would like to relax and recharge, there are many Spa hotel experiences to be found in Tulum. Wellness practitioners here take a unique approach to healing, they strive to create harmony & wholeness by rebalancing the flow of energy in the body, bringing symmetry and a sense of wholeness between the inner-self and the environment.

Glamping
If you are adventurous, looking for a unique experience and love to be very close to nature, you can try “Glamping”- a high-end version of camping. Here in Tulum, tents are set right into the beach dunes or secluded in a jungle oasis. Whatever landscape you prefer, the tents themselves are appointed with all the modern comforts and elegance of a luxury hotel. Let the bird calls lull you to sleep under the stars, as the breeze ruffles the palm fronds all around you.
Foodies
Tulum’s thriving restaurant scene offers gourmet cuisine to rival the finest cities of the world. Many hotels are located in Tulum town close to the town restaurants and have their own award-winning chefs and restaurants right on the premises. Gastronomic delights abound including tasting menus, open fire grills, wine tastings, and pizza ovens. There is nothing like food cooked on an open fire in the fresh sea air! For the connoisseur, Tulum hotels offer classic Mayan cuisine which includes such awesome dishes as Cochinita Pibil. Pibil means buried, which is how this dish is prepared. The meat, most often pork, is marinated with the juice of la Naranja agria (bitter orange) and annatto. A pit is dug and filled with red hot coals. Once the pig is marinated, it is then wrapped in banana leaves and placed in the pit atop the hot coals, then all is covered with dirt. The coal in effect pressure-cooks the meat as well as smoking it. This epic and meal take all day to prepare, it is succulent and aromatic, not to be missed! All along the beach road Hotels offering amazing cuisine live side by side with varied diverse gorgeous renown restaurants and even great food truck options!
