Experience and Discover Tulum!

One of the most magical parts of any vacation is the opportunity to discover and enjoy a new part of the world. Dreams Tulum Resort & Spa is perfectly situated in the history-rich town of Tulum in the Riviera Maya, a spectacular area that has been inhabited for the past 700 years.

During your stay, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in a truly authentic experience and discover the Mayan culture prevalent in Tulum, which was first known as “Zama,” also known as the “City of Dawn!” This untouched part of the Mexican Caribbean, located a short drive south from Playa del Carmen, offers its visitors the opportunity to discover magical and uncrowded places such as the ancient ruins of Coba and Tulum. Adventure-seekers will also be able to enjoy activities such as swimming in the crystal-clear waters of cenotes–naturally-formed underground caves–and interacting with nature at the nearby Xel-Ha waterpark and a nearby golf course! But that’s not all you’ll discover…
