Cecelia ChangPerhaps the most compelling argument to become a digital nomad is knowing that you can book a stunning Airbnb in Tulum anytime. Famous for its ancient Mayan ruins and pristine shores, the town of Tulum offers a vibrant escape near the coast of the Caribbean Sea. You can swim at gentle beaches, sleep in rustic villas overlooking the jungle, or take a dip in crystal-clear cenotes, which are natural sinkholes filled with water.
Whether you’re planning your future bucket list in Mexico, or you just want to fantasise about travelling for a while, these are the best Airbnbs in Tulum for any budget.
TripZilla Tip: If you’re lucky enough to spend a few days in Tulum, keep in mind that you will need to rent a car, take a taxi, or ride a bike to find your way around town. Pack bug spray and earbuds, especially if you’re a light sleeper.
