Best of Tulum

  • Gran Cenote

    Gran Cenote is one of Tulum's most popular cenotes. It is both easily accessible from the town of Tulum and inclusive accommodations at the cenote–including stairs and showers to use after exploring the crystal-clear waters.

  • The Tulum Ruins

    The locations of these 13th-century ruins are what makes this a must-see for Tulum first-timers. The old stone contrasted against the bold blue waters of the Caribbean coastline are truly breathtaking, but we recommend getting there early to beat the crowds and to get a chance to swim on the beach directly under the ruins.

  • Playa Paraíso

    Arguably one of Mexico's most picturesque beaches, Playa Paraíso boasts a vast expanse of white sands and stunning turquoise blue waves. Enjoy the sun and relax under the breezy winds with the calming sounds of the ocean surrounding you for the ultimate beach day.
