Tulum blends Caribbean beaches, wellness culture, and a bohemian lifestyle with strong international appeal. It’s a top choice for those seeking sunshine, nature, and a modern expat scene—plus real estate and rental demand in the Riviera Maya.
Tulum is rocky coasts intermixed white sand beaches, crystal clear swimming and diving pools, 1,000-year-old ruins, and tropical jungles. And, it’s quickly attracting an influx of tourism.
A good road runs from the town of Tulum, Mexico, to the beach, then follows along the beach for several miles in two directions.
One side connects to the picturesque Mayan ruins of Tulum and the other enters the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka’an.
Also, one of Mexico’s greatest appeals for the would-be retiree and expat is the diversity of lifestyles it offers.
You could live with a view of the lapping Caribbean from your bedroom window… or the crashing Pacific on your doorstep…
You could (if your budget allows) enjoy a fully appointed, even luxe life… or a sweet, simple, back-to-basics escape.

Property taxes are negligible, and utility bills are low except for the expense of air conditioning for eight to nine months per year.
Overall, groceries, restaurants, and entertainment expenses run 25% to 35% cheaper than in the United States.
Tulum has two pronounced seasons: mid-May through October is the rainy season, and the dry season starts in November.
The daytime temperatures in Tulum average 85°F to 90°F year-round.
December and January are the coolest months and April through August the hottest.
For instance, nighttime average temperatures are very pleasant, ranging from 68°F to 72°F degrees in the summer months.
Higher humidity during the summer rainy season make the temperatures feel much hotter. Especially if you’re out in the sun. However, offshore breezes (at the beach) moderate the perceived heat.
Tulum is by no means a fully-polished diamond. But, it’s well on its way.
The Path of Progress is arriving in Tulum, rolling down from Cancún, Puerto Morelos, Playa del Carmen, Akumal, into scruffy Tulum.
For years, Tulum has been popular with the backpack crowd, many of whom have settled-in and started tourist service business—small inns and bed and breakfasts, cafés, restaurants, and bars. But, things are getting more upscale.
This town offers investment and business opportunities for the adventurous soul.
Most importantly, here are some recomendations if you want to find out how to buy real estate overseas for cash flow.
Tulum may be a good choice for you if you enjoy hot, humid climates, and some of the prettiest beaches in the world.
The additional marvels of nature all around this area, cenotes, lagoons, jungle, and Mayan ruins will be icing on your cake.
Or, if you’re interested in getting into an area at the start of its tourism, investment, and business boom, and your window for success is a few years, then Tulum is definitely worth a visit.
