There was a time not so long ago when “sleepy” was commonly applied to the beach town of Tulum. That was before pop-up boho chic restaurants and hotels put this small community on Mexico’s Riviera Maya on the global tourism map for reasons other than its ancient ruins, and today Tulum has grown into a destination rivaling Cancun and Playa del Carmen with a vibrant mix of boutique and brand-name hotels, an excellent dining and nightlife scene, and a continued commitment to wellness and shared local experiences. Most importantly, Tulum is now home to its very own international airport, which is now receiving flights from all the major carriers in the US and beyond.

Among Tulum’s many hotels and resorts, here’s a diverse guide to great options at every price point and category, from all-inclusives to hip beachfront boutiques and affordable choices, too.
