Tulum Villas & Luxury Vacation Rentals

TULUM VILLA RENTALS GUIDE

Welcome To Tulum: History Meets Modernity

The perfect vacation awaits you in Tulum. From the luxury villa rentals to the breathtaking beaches and historical sites, Tulum is a prime Mexican destination. This relaxed, serene beach village is located close to the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, along the Mexican Riviera—an expanse of deep blue sea and breathtaking white sandy beaches set against the backdrop of a green jungle. Considered a bona fide Mexican paradise, Tulum, the Yucatan Mayan word for “wall,” is the site of an ancient Mayan walled city perched atop a set of 40-foot-high cliffs facing eastward to the Caribbean Sea. Tulum is one of the most popular visitor destinations in Mexico due in large part to the Mayan ruins. The Mayans were a highly advanced society who built temples and pyramids, created a form of writing with hieroglyphics, and excelled in math and astrology. Visitors truly have the best of both worlds at their disposal, as the conveniently located resort district of the Riviera Maya extends from Playa del Carmen in the north to Tulum in the south, ensuring that all the modern features you desire, such as fine-dining and shopping, are also accessible. Our beautiful luxury villa rentals in Tulum side are enhanced by the stunning, natural vistas and historical richness of the landscape, and they, in turn, enhance that view. This unique tropical destination is ideally suited for a romantic escape, an adventure-filled family vacation, or an entertaining trip with friends. Have a look at our full range of Riviera Maya luxury villa rentals to get your bearings.

The Best Time To Enjoy Tulum Villa Rentals

The weather in Tulum is never cold. No matter what month of the year you plan to visit, you'll be greeted by superb weather. May is the hottest month, with an average of 28°C, and the “coldest” month is January at 24°C. The sunniest weather comes from December to April. Expect a small amount of rain for visits from May until October, with September being the wettest month. But rain storms usually visit for just an hour or two before the sun re-emerges, so you will find that luxury vacation rentals in Tulum can be enjoyed any time of year. For shore-hugging, breathtaking views of the sea, no matter what kind of vacation you have planned, our exquisite Punta Sur luxury villa is well worth a visit, as are our stunning 5+ bedroom luxury villa rentals in Tankah Bay.

Underwater World

There’s not much of a divide between most of the popular activities specific to the region and the natural world. From visiting Xel-Ha, a famous aquarium and amusement park, to hiking the Punta Laguna Nature Reserve trails, to renting a bike to explore the side streets, to learning how to kiteboard, snorkel, or scuba dive while discovering the local underwater cave system, there is something for every disposition. The abundant marine life in the reefs and caves of the area attract divers from all over the world. Tours of the cenotes (freshwater pools that lead to underground rivers) are offered by local dive and adventure shops.

Culture And Recreation

Booking the right Tulum villa rental may just be the element that locks your Riviera Maya getaway perfectly into place. Once you have your home-away-from-home, spend your day visiting historic sites, hiking jungle trails, shopping, unwinding in a deluxe Tulum spa, swimming and sunbathing on the beach, or enjoying any number of watersports including sailing, jet skiing, and kayaking. By night, lucky guests at one of our luxury villa rentals in Tulum do well to take advantage of the club and nightlife scene at one of the many venues along the coast and in the downtown core.
