Tulum ruins overlooking the turquoise Caribbean Sea in Mexico’s Riviera Maya, an ancient Mayan archaeological site featured by I Live Where You Vacation. | Ruinas de Tulum con vista al mar turquesa del Caribe en la Riviera Maya, antiguo sitio arqueológico maya presentado por I Live Where You Vacation.

Our top tip: arrive early or stay overnight to experience the town’s mystical sunrise over the Caribbean Sea and enjoy the peaceful hours before the beach clubs come alive.

Explore the Tulum Archaeological Zone, where ancient Mayan temples overlook the ocean — a breathtaking reminder of the area’s rich history. For nature lovers, a swim in nearby cenotes such as Gran Cenote, Cenote Dos Ojos, or Cenote Calavera offers a glimpse into Yucatán’s underground world of crystal-clear waters.

In the heart of the jungle, the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage site, invites visitors to discover mangroves, lagoons, and abundant wildlife on eco-boat tours.

When the sun sets, Tulum transforms into a culinary and nightlife destination — with world-class restaurants, beach clubs, and boutique bars where local art, music, and gastronomy come together.
