4 Exciting Things You Can Do In Tulum, Mexico
Tulum is considered one of the best tourist destinations in the world, and it’s easy to see why. From the incredibly well-preserved archaeological sites and underground river hidden beneath a canopy of stalactites to cave diving spots and pristine beaches, it’s a heaven for adventure seekers and travelers.
If you’re still not convinced, here are some of the exciting things you can do in Tulum.
GO CAVE DIVING
Tulum cave diving is hailed as one of the best in the world. The limestone bedrock and freshwater rivers underneath, which have carved out caves and denotes, have created incredible diving conditions. Sun illuminates the water, making it even clearer.
Diving here will thrill even the most experienced divers, with challenging dives available. This is also an excellent location for beginner divers, with many novice classes offered. We recommend Casa Cenote for beginners, and for more experienced divers, the "Pet Cemetery" cenote promises adventure.

EXPLORE THE STUNNING BEACHES
If you’re a beach-lover through and through, then there’s arguably no better place in Mexico to visit than Tulum. The shores of this formerly sleepy beach town are so idyllic that even the beach-averse will be thrilled by the idea of lounging around on the beach all day. One of the most iconic beaches in Tulum is the aptly named Playa Paraíso (Paradise Beach), which has stunning azure waters, practically-white powder sand, and plenty of swaying palms.
Casa Don Rey
While you explore the nature of Tulum, Casa Don Rey will be an outstanding residence. The luxurious villa is located in Aldea Zama, a gated property in Tulum's coveted neighborhood. The home has ten unique bedrooms that can comfortably accommodate up to 26 guests in utmost comfort. One of these rooms contains three bunk beds, making it ideal for up to eight children. The exclusive villa’s design fuses industrial-chic and bohemian glamor with its paneled glass accents, oversized windows, opulent wood finishes, and shimmering precious stone countertops.
The amenities include a private cinema, a stylish bar and dining room, and a fully equipped gym. In the heart of the home is the glamorous internal courtyard, fashioned with a sophisticated pool and lounge area. The highlight of the residence is the spacious rooftop terrace. From here, you can admire the panoramic view of tropical nature as you enjoy delicious meals in the dining area or from the second pool.
INDULGE IN THE OPULENT CULINARY HERITAGE
Tulum may not have the fish taco reputation of the Baja Peninsula or the taco tradition of Mexico City, but the food here is fresh, inventive, and to die for—especially the ceviche. If you’re a gourmand, this is one of Mexico’s top destinations for enjoying the culinary scene. Whether you like seafood or vegan and vegetarian options, there’s something to suit all tastes and palates in Tulum. Hartwood is a top choice, serving up a shifting menu each day according to the available products.
Casa Ha
After an evening of tasting Tulum’s delicacies, retreat to the lavish Casa Ha. Belonging to the renowned Hotel Zone, this beachfront home is moments away from fine dining and nightlife. The four superbly designed bedrooms can comfortably accommodate up to 10 guests. The distinctly modern villa is adorned with understated designer furnishings, textile chandeliers, and wicker and rattan accents, providing a sense of beach-chic luxury.
The residence includes a chef's kitchen with precious stone countertops, the finest appliances, and private balconies. You can enjoy the beautiful weather in the glamorous pool that navigates through the home. A basket swing hovering above it is a unique photogenic spot, sure to produce ethereal photographs. The glittering ocean is only a few steps away, so that you can enjoy the private beach of the world-famous Tulum at any time.
ENJOY THE VIBRANT NIGHTLIFE
Aside from natural wonders and gorgeous beaches, Tulum has some of the country’s best nightlife, from full-moon beach parties at the legendary Papaya Playa Project to the uber-popular Cuban bar on the central strip, Batey.

And these are just some of Tulum’s many excellent options!
