Tulum is of course always magical, but as all other places on earth it has its pros and cons, depending on the time you visit and the things you are looking for here. So, peak season is actually the direct opposite of Europe, with December to April being the “summer” time with the best weather, the warmer waters and the less chances of rain. This means you get to enjoy this magnificent place to the fullest, but at the same time it can get a bit crowded. If you are all about liveliness and fun, this is definitely the right time to come. November is quieter, but still very nice (plus it is when the famous Art With Me festival is held!), May to October is considered off-season, with May being traditionally uncomfortably hot and October the main hurricane month.

Tulum is a place for all, as it is romantic and fun, family-friendly and arty, adventurous, and cultural, all at the same time. From checking out the top-notch art and music festivals all year round to enjoying the endless and diverse culinary scene, spreading from tacos to fine dining, from exploring the famous and off-the-beaten track numerous beaches to diving in the pristine waters of the stunning natural cenotes, such as the Zacil-Ha or the Gran Cenote, and from setting foot on the ancient Mayan temples, such as Coba, and fortresses, such as El Castillo, to becoming one with the wildlife deep into the jungle, Tulum will never let you down.
