A thatched casita in a small garden off the beach road, forty steps from the sand on the quiet southern stretch towards Sian Ka'an. A big bed under the palapa, an outdoor bathroom with a rain shower, a terrace with a hammock, and the sound of the waves all night. Breakfast is brought to the terrace. The beach clubs and restaurants of the hotel zone are a short cycle north; the ruins and the reserve a short one south. Bikes and snorkels are included. The casita sleeps 2 across 1 bedroom (bedroom 1: 1 queen bed), with 1 bathroom. There is a proper desk and air conditioning in every room, and fast wifi throughout. It stays cool inside even in the hottest months. Check-in is from 3 pm with our staff, who are at the house every day; checkout is by 11 am. You won't need a car here. No pets, please. Quiet hours are 11 pm to 8 am, as the neighbours live here all year. We ask for a minimum of 3 nights.

Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico
La Veleta is the jungle neighbourhood between Tulum town and the beach road: sandy streets, cenotes ten minutes away, and the sea 15 minutes by bike. It has the cafés and tacos of town without the beach-zone prices, and it is dark and starry at night.

I split the year between Santa Teresa and Tulum, following the swell and the yoga seasons. The houses are built to be open: screens, fans, outdoor showers, and the jungle doing its thing around you. I run sunrise surf lessons and will get you on a wave by day two.

Romantic without trying to be. Falling asleep to the waves: that is what we will remember. Breakfast was a treat, not an afterthought. We will be back.

Easy self check-in, clear directions, no surprises. The air conditioning is strong, which matters here in summer. A little further from the centre than we expected, but an easy ride. Don't miss the beach clubs on the hotel zone road; Mateo pointed us there and it was the best thing we did. Would stay again.

Tulum beach zone is the right part of Tulum to stay in, and this is the right house in it. Breakfast in the garden every morning. Mateo's tips were spot on, especially the beach clubs on the hotel zone road. Falling asleep to the waves: that is what we will remember.
Full refund only within 48 hours of booking, if check-in is 14+ days away. Otherwise 50% up to 7 days before check-in.
