TULUM, MEXICO
You're going to love Tulum
Tulum’s spectacular coastline – with all its confectioner-sugar sands, cobalt water and balmy breezes – makes it one of the top beaches in Mexico.
Home to some of the best-preserved Mayan archeological sites in the region, Tulum is located along the Riviera Maya and takes a little less than two hours to reach from the Cancun International Airport. Buses leave directly from Cancun’s airport or Playa del Carmen if you plan on taking a day trip to experience the cenotes, lagoons, or the archeological sites.
In addition to archeological beauty, Tulum is also popular for its beaches, with a coastline of powdery sand that stretches 10 miles to the UNESCO Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. Tulum is divided into three “zonas” or zones each with their own distinct identity and vibe: the archaeological site, "El Pueblo" (Downtown Tulum) and the hotel zone, that is divided in North and South– and there’s a big difference between the two. If you’re looking for untouched stretches of sand, head to the lesser developed beaches on the north side. You’ll find more lively beaches on the southern side since they’re lined with hotels, restaurants, and beach clubs.
