Cancun Airport to the Tulum Hotel Zone: The Drive, the Turn, and How We'd Get You Here

The drive from Cancun airport

Take Highway 307 south. It's a wide road that runs through Playa del Carmen, and it takes roughly 90 minutes to reach Tulum. We're about 90 miles south of Cancun, so most of the trip is that one straight road.

The turn is the part people miss. When you come into Tulum town, look for a four-way intersection with the Super Aki supermarket on your right. Turn left there, heading east toward the beach road. The sign reads "To Boca Paila". Then drive south for about 6 km. We sit a little further down than the main strip, at Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila KM 8.7. Watch for our sign on the roadside.

If you fly into Tulum instead

Tulum International Airport (TQO) is about 30 miles from us. Pick up Carretera Federal 307 and stay on it until Tulum Pueblo, then follow the signs for "Tulum Hotel Zone" and continue down the beach road to KM 8.7.

Not driving

We arrange private transfers from either airport. Ask us and we'll book it. Transfers can be booked between 30 days and 24 hours before you arrive, so sort it before the last day. Shared airport shuttles can be booked online, and ADO buses are the budget option if you don't mind a connection at the end.

Landing early or late

Check-in is at 3:00 pm. If you get here before your suite is ready, we'll hold your bags and you can go find the sand. If your flight runs late, your suite is held until 6:00 am the morning after your check-in date, so a delayed arrival won't cost you the room. Just let us know you're on your way.
