What’s Tulum like?

Tulum is quite hard to define. As a geographical place, it’s just the perfect combination of white sandy beach and lush wild jungle. As a human collective, Tulum is a highly diverse community of entrepreneurs, explorers, artists, chefs, musicians, and visionaries from all over the world.
Tulum owes its popularity to its very unique and unexpected “vibes.” Rustic but glamorous at the same time. Down to earth but stylish and exclusive at once. We’ve heard many adjectives that try to describe it: bohemian, hippie-chic, or (possibly our favorite one) jungle-chic.

Where’s Tulum located and how do I get there?

Tulum, together with Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, is one of the most popular spots of Riviera Maya.
Situated on the Mexican Caribbean coastline, it’s located 118 km south of Cancun’s International Airport and before the Sian Ka’an Natural Reserve.
The best way to reach Tulum is by car, which will take one hour 30min from Cancun International Airport. Driving down Federal Highway 307, you will first encounter Tulum Town. Then, making a left towards the coast, you’ll arrive at Tulum's breathtaking beach.

What can I do in and around Tulum?

Adventure, Nature, Wellness, Art, and Music are only some of the aspects Tulum is renowned for.

Pack bikinis and sunblock. Arriving in Tulum, you’ll first want to head straight to the beach: its most vibrant and iconic site. Stroll down 10 km of white sand, and stop for a memorable lunch at one of Tulum’s many beach clubs (link del blog). Sun, music, and good energy will recharge your batteries.

If you’re a nature lover, you can’t leave Tulum without seeing a Cenote. Snorkeling, diving, kite-surfing, and exploring the natural Biosphere are also must-dos for adventurers. You can’t miss Tulum Ruins, either. This ancient Mayan archeological site, together with Chichén Itzá and Coba, will teleport your mind to ancient times.

If, instead, you’re looking for mindfulness and relaxation, Tulum has it all. Yoga, meditation, sound healing, and ancient Mayan ceremonies will make your wellness journey unforgettable.

Art and nature go hand in hand in Tulum, and one is entirely inspired by the other.

There are many art installations, some of which have gained worldwide fame. “Ven a la Luz,” for example iconic sculpture designed by Daniel Popper for the Art With Me festival, which symbolizes the human connection with nature. There’s also Azulik’s “SFER IK”: a contemporary art museum unlike any other.
