...think of me as if I were beside you

it was heaven here with you...

"Strange friend, past, present, and to be

loved deeplier, darklier understood

behold, I dream a dream of good

and mingle all the world with thee"

from A. Tennyson, In memoriam

Tulum is harbored in the Riviera Maya, Yucatan Peninsula. A quaint and unassuming town contained within the emerald green of tropical forests and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean sea, its roughly 10,000 people enjoy the gifts of warmth, friendliness and richness of their ancient Maya heritage. Tulum (meaning "wall") has remained largely shipwrecked from the madness of overdevelopment, the chaotic depletion of natural resources, and the further endangering of local species. Home to beaches of stunning beauty and to the achievements of Mayan civilization, Tulum is a refuge to the descendants of the Maya, to the imagination of poets and biologists, merchants and healers, and a peaceful resting ground to the vision of artists, explorers and free spirits

Strategically located in the Riviera Maya, Tulum is 117 km south of Cancun airport (approximately 1 hr 15 min drive) and 65 km from Playa del Carmen. The archaeological sites of Coba and Chichen-Itza are wonderfully enriching and accessible as day trips from Posada Luna del Sur. The towns of Akumal, Xpu-Ha and Xcaret are likewise within easy reach. Please ask us, and we will gladly guide your passage through this enchanted part of the world

Posada Luna del Sur is nestled in the heart of Tulum, where the soul becomes blissfully joyful and bohemian. There is a hidden rhythm to life here, and Posada Luna del Sur rises from the sands and earth of Tulum to flow within its cadence. Walk to restaurants, outdoor cafes, autouchthonous markets, small downtown shops and internet cafes... ancient culture of sights and scents and tastes anew. Posada Luna del Sur is a home for discovery of the mysteries and depth of natural resources of the Riviera Maya, and a welcoming sanctuary for peaceful returns

A short ride from Posada Luna del Sur,
become immersed in the magic of Tulum
archaeological ruins. Suspended on limestone cliffs, the structures of El Castillo, Templo de los Frescos and del Dios Descendiente stand as silent witnesses of the Mayan Gods of honey and thunder and fertility. Soothing powdery-white beaches hugged by turquoise waters, its waves reminiscent still of the ebb and flow of the Maya at this late outpost of their era.

Enjoyed sunset after sunrise for millenia, leave your footprints and weave your very own memories into the tapestry of Tulum
