General Operations

The current owners purchased the property by obtaining a Fido Comisso, a Mexican entity similar to a Trust, from the previous owners.  Consult a Mexican attorney, but you should be able to purchase this property through the same process. The property is managed by a local company. The actual property manager lives close and she is from the US but lives in the area and speaks several languages. There is not a true HOA, but instead a voluntary co-op with a Road and Security Group which the current owners participate in. Roughly, it’s $300 US per quarter. The total of property tax, federal zone tax and trust payment for 2025 was 38,100 pesos.

History

Tulum is a place where ancient history meets modern-day allure, offering a unique blend of cultural heritage, natural beauty, and laid-back coastal living. Originally a prominent city of the Maya civilization, Tulum was one of the last major cities built and inhabited by the Maya and served as an important trading port between the 13th and 16th centuries. The ruins of this once-thriving walled city still overlook the turquoise Caribbean Sea, drawing visitors from around the world to marvel at the Temple of the Frescoes, El Castillo, and other well-preserved structures.
Unlike inland Maya cities, Tulum’s coastal position allowed it to become a maritime hub, with goods such as jade, obsidian, salt, and textiles flowing through its markets. The city was eventually abandoned after the Spanish arrived in the early 1500s, though its spiritual and historical significance remains strong in the region.
In recent decades, Tulum has evolved from a quiet fishing village into one of Mexico’s most sought-after travel destinations and real estate hotspots. The area is known for its eco-conscious developments, boutique hotels, cenotes (natural freshwater sinkholes), and nearby biosphere reserves like Sian Ka’an, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Despite modern growth, Tulum maintains a deep connection to nature and Maya culture. Local cuisine features indigenous ingredients and traditional cooking methods, while artisans and guides help keep ancient knowledge alive through tours, storytelling, and rituals.
The mix of ancient ruins, tropical jungle, white-sand beaches, and cosmopolitan touches gives Tulum a distinctive charm. Whether exploring archaeological sites, enjoying yoga retreats, or investing in sustainable living, Tulum offers a lifestyle rooted in both timeless tradition and forward-thinking innovation.
