Flow with Wellness at Lula Tulum

Start your day with a grounding yoga class as you listen to the sea, or discover the transformative vibrations of a sound healing session. Feeling adventurous? Try salsa dancing under the stars, a Pilates workout that will energize you, or a fitness class that gets your heart pumping.
Each session concludes with a refreshing wellness shot—a symbolic sip to nourish and rejuvenate. Lula Tulum embodies the rhythm of the New Year: mindful, intentional, and full of life. It’s not just a workout; it’s a celebration of your well-being.

Dive Into History at a Local Archeological Site
Tulum’s archeological sites offer a glimpse into the rich history of the Mayan civilization, blending culture and nature in a way that’s truly unforgettable. Three nearby sites to explore:
1. Tulum Archeological Site: Perched on a cliff overlooking the Caribbean, this iconic site was once a vital Mayan port. Explore its structures, like El Castillo, and take in breathtaking ocean views.
2. Coba: Just a short drive away, Coba is a jungle-covered city with the towering Nohoch Mul pyramid, the tallest in the Yucatán. Rent a bike to explore its pathways and immerse yourself in Mayan history.
3. Muyil: Located within the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve, Muyil offers serene ruins surrounded by lush nature. Pair your visit with a boat tour through the nearby lagoons for a truly magical experience.
Each site invites you to connect with the wisdom and spirituality of the Mayans, offering moments of reflection and wonder amid the beauty of Tulum.
Our local guide partners offer private guided excursions that allow you to take your time and never feel rushed. Their knowledge of the area and insights into the Mayan societies bring the history alive for visitors of all ages.

Immerse Yourself in the Mystique of a Cenote
No trip to Tulum is complete without a visit to a cenote. These natural sinkholes, sacred to the Mayans, are portals to a hidden world of crystalline waters and awe-inspiring beauty. Swim, snorkel, or simply sit by the water’s edge, taking in the tranquility that seems to radiate from these magical places.
Whether you choose the lush greenery of Cenote Dos Ojos or the otherworldly allure of Gran Cenote, each visit feels like a sacred pause—a moment to honor the natural wonders that make Tulum so unique. An ideal day trip will blend the experience of a historical site with the nature wonder of a cenote to cool down and refresh.
