About Tulum

🌴 Hostels in Tulum for Backpackers & Solo Travellers: Cliff-Top Ruins, Cenotes & Caribbean Beaches

Planning Tulum in 2026? This Riviera Maya town mixes Mayan ruins above the sea, white-sand beaches and freshwater cenotes in the jungle. It is usually relaxed by day and lively by night, and a popular stop on the Yucatán backpacker route.


🏠 Where to Stay in Tulum

Hostels in Tulum are mostly in Tulum Pueblo, the town centre, with a few closer to the beach or in Aldea Zamá. Hostelworld.com lists over 32 Hostels in Tulum, all rated by travellers like you, with more than 19874 reviews. In Tulum hostels you can usually find:

  • Dorms and private rooms, often with pools
  • Bike rental for trips to the beach
  • Bar nights, yoga and social events
  • Help with cenote and ruin tours

💡 Pro tip: Staying in town is usually much cheaper than on the beach. Rent a bike from your hostel and ride to the coast instead.


🏆 Top Hostels to Stay in Tulum in 2026

Looking for top-rated Hostels in Tulum? According to Hostelworld.com travellers, these are two crowd favourites:


🗺️ Neighbourhoods to Explore

  • Tulum Pueblo – The main town, with taco stands, bars, shops and most hostels
  • Aldea Zamá – A newer area between town and beach, with cafés and restaurants
  • The Beach Zone – A long coastal road with beach clubs, boutique hotels and soft sand
  • Tulum Ruins – A Mayan walled city on a cliff above the sea
  • Sian Ka'an – A huge biosphere reserve south of town with lagoons and wildlife

🚲 Getting Around Tulum

  • From the airport: Tulum and Cancún airports both serve the area, with buses, shuttles and taxis to town
  • Buses: ADO buses usually link Tulum with Cancún, Playa del Carmen and Valladolid
  • Colectivos: Shared minivans along the highway are often cheap and frequent
  • Bikes: Cycling is a popular way to reach the beach, ruins and nearby cenotes

💦 Cenotes Around Tulum

Cenotes are natural sinkholes filled with clear fresh water, and many lie a short ride from town. Some are open pools, while others are caves for snorkelling and diving. Entry fees usually apply, and you may be asked to shower before swimming and skip sunscreen to protect the water.

💡 Pro tip: Visit the ruins early in the day. It is usually cooler, quieter and the light over the sea is beautiful.
