About Tulum

Tulum is an internationally recognized destination in the Riviera Maya, known for its beaches, its walled Maya port and the jungle behind it. Renting long term here means a slower pace, cenotes and eco-conscious communities, with world-class dining and modern buildings a bike ride away.

What Tulum.rent is

Tulum.rent is the Tulum edition of the Sesy.Rent master registry — the same verified inventory, filtered to this city. Every home is checked by a broker who has been inside it, and every contract follows the practice that renting in Tulum actually runs on, so tenant and owner are both protected.

What does Tulum mean?

Before it was a rental market it was a walled Maya port. Tulum comes from the Yucatec Maya tulu'um, "wall" or "fence". The Maya called the city Zamá, "dawn", because it faces the sunrise over the Caribbean — the origin of the neighbourhood name Aldea Zamá, where most of the apartments on this page sit. More at the Mayan Library.
