Tulum is small but accommodations are generally divided into two main areas: Puebla (town) and the beach. But, there are also glamping sites and unique places to stay in Tulum near the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve which is not far from the famous Tulum ruins. 

Let's Go - Tulum

Glamping in Mexico is very different than say glamping in Ireland or glamping in Washington state due to climate and landscape. However, the types of Glamping structures can be very similar. Glamping types in Tulum include luxury tents, cabanas, geodesic domes, and even tree houses and are situated in unique settings such as jungle, cenotes, and right on the beach. 

Here are a few favorite spots to get you started with your Tulum glamping vacation plans:

Guest Review: “Casa Nawal was a beautiful beach retreat with a relaxing and earthy vibe. We initially were placed in a beautiful tent on the interior of the resort, but after one night realized there was a bonfire in close proximity which bothered my asthma. We spoke with the staff and they graciously moved our tent to a beach front location away from the smoke smell. The tent was equipped with an AC at night as well as a very comfortable bed. Each day after we got back from exploring we were greeted with a freshly made bed and new towels. The bathroom facilities were also always clean and well stocked. Just to the left of the resort was a great bar/restaurant which had wonderful food, music and beach seating. Such a chill vibe with great people from around the world. I would definitely recommend!”
