4 Luxurious Resorts in the Seaside Town of Tulum

The seaside town of Tulum, located just one hour from Playa del Carmen and Cancun International Airport (CUN), is home to ancient architecture, spectacular cenotes and luxurious, eco-friendly resorts.

In fact, you might recognize its Spanish, hacienda-style ambience from the first season of Bachelor in Paradise. That said, it’s the ultimate escape from reality with seaside swim-out suites, tiki huts, colonial architecture and eco-friendly fountains alongside over 5,000 plants, plus seven bars.
