Close your eyes and think of Tulum: images of untouched beaches, boho-chic bungalows, eco-friendly hostels, and yoga retreats may come to mind. This is the Tulum of twenty-some years ago, when the sleepy town on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula offered travelers a chance to truly get off the grid in style. And while the region is no longer a well-kept secret, the fundamental appeals of Tulum can still be experienced.
You may be tempted to spend your whole vacation at the beach, but don't miss out on all the other fun things Tulum has to offer. Don't leave without a visit to Tulum's archaeological site; it's the only Mayan walled city located right on the coast. If you're into health and wellness, check out the yoga, meditation, and holistic wellness offerings at Yäan Healing Sanctuary or Sanará. Nature-lovers shouldn't miss a day trip south to the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, which has tropical forests, mangroves, marshes, and a barrier reef just offshore. If you enjoy swaying to tropical rhythms or dancing to the beats of EDM, you'll also find your bliss in Tulum.
The food in Tulum is fresh, inventive, and delicious. This is a great destination for food lovers and there's something to suit all tastes and palates. There are upscale restaurants like Hartwood, which offers a changing menu based on locally sourced foods, or Bal Nak, which serves creative takes on classic Yucatecan dishes. If you love seafood, head to El Camello Jr. for ceviche and Baja-style fish tacos. For vegan and vegetarian options, check out Raw Love or El Vegetariano Mar y Tierra. You can also find simple tacos and other cheap eats at Antojitos El Chiapaneco or Mexican-Italian comfort food at La Querida.
On its quest to expand its footprint in the country, hotel giant Hilton is cashing in on the destination's popularity. It recently opened two new properties—the Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort and its luxury neighbor, the Conrad Tulum Riviera Maya, where our editorial assistant Jalyn stayed for four days. (Guests of either can explore both properties and take advantage of their amenities.) Meanwhile, the 78-room boutique Kimpton Aluna Tulum features a rooftop bar and restaurant (to sip cocktails while watching the sunset), a spa, beach club, and palapa (thatched-hut) awnings.

Trending in Travel Get Inspired  The town of El Djem in Tunisia grew up around the ruins of the Roman city of Thysdrus, once one of the most prosperous settlements in North Africa. Much of the original architecture is now lost—with the exception of the city's mighty amphitheater. Built to house gladiator shows and chariot races, the amphitheater held 35,000 spectators and was one of the largest in the Empire. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the amphitheater is more intact than the Coliseum in Rome, with two-thirds of its triple-arcaded outer walls still standing.
