High Season: December - April
Low Season: May - September
Our Favorite: We love Tulum all the time but beware there is a lot of seaweed that gets washed up on the beach from April to August. There are a ton of fun events, music festivals and more during high season which is when the weather is the best.
Nomade
Located directly on the beach, Nomade is a small botique style hotel with jungle treehouses and beachfront suites. Nomade has the typical "Tulum" feel throughout the entire property offering yoga, meditation and other mindful workshops.
Le Zebra
A fun and vibrant botique hotel, Le Zebra offers a great combination of relaxed bohemian and a social hip environment. Le Zebra's beach club offers "Sunday salsa night" free salso lessons which are extremely popular and a fun change of pace.
Be Tulum
A high end luxury botique hotel that is home to one of our favorite more relaxed beach clubs. Be Tulum has two swimming pools on the beach which sets this hotel a part from others.
Cabanas
Another wonderful beachside hotel in walking distance to many of Tulums shops and restaurants. There are two wonderful restaurants on this property and this property has beachfront rooms, poolside rooms and well as a 3 bedroom loft that is suited for families or couples.
