Workation in Tulum: the essentials
Maya builders put a walled port on 12-metre cliffs above the Caribbean, and it flourished between the 13th and 15th centuries. Those ruins still draw the crowds, but modern Tulum has three parts: the archaeological site, the town along the highway a few kilometres inland, and the beach zone with its boutique hotels. Most people on longer stays live in town, where the coworking spaces and cheaper rooms are, and cycle to the beach and cenotes. The wellness and party crowds have pushed prices up sharply, the beach zone relies on patchy infrastructure, and sargassum arrives in summer. The new Tulum airport is about 20 km away, and the Tren Maya stops here.
No provider, trip, or travel partner linked to Tulum yet.
OSM lists no coworking spaces within 10 km, which understates the situation: Tulum is an established remote-work spot with several spaces along the main road and in the beach strip, plus cafés set up for laptop work. Day passes typically run around 20 EUR and monthly access around 180 EUR; occasional power cuts and variable Wi-Fi should be factored in.
Spaces come from OpenStreetMap (10 km radius); prices are AI estimates for typical offers in town – please check with the provider before booking. As of September 2026.
