Region 15 is the part of Tulum that still feels like the actual jungle, the essence of what most people come here looking for. I love how you can be driving through pure greenery, thinking, “Where on earth are we going?”, and then, suddenly, like a mushroom appearing out of nowhere, a beautiful project rises from the trees. Developers here usually keep at least 30% of the area green, and the quality of construction is impressive, especially in boutique projects. It’s also the fastest-growing area of Tulum right now.

Some of my favorite spots are inside Region 15, like Bodhi Tulum, one of the most conscious and eco-friendly developments in the area. Rubi Hotel is another place I love with a fantastic restaurant, a great cocktail bar, and a perfect day-pass spot to relax. Right nearby, you’ll find the Tulum Paddle Social Club tucked into the jungle and, next door, Los Morros, which has some of the best seafood in Tulum.

Life here feels peaceful and close to nature. Most owners and guests are foreigners seeking short-term rentals, and the real estate market is a mix of high-end eco-luxury condos, boutique projects, and an increasing number of Tulum-style villas.

Tulum Country Club offers a secure, well-maintained environment that invites peace of mind, making it ideal for those seeking safety and tranquility in the Riviera Maya. I have a client who built a home there, and every time I visit, I’m struck by how immaculate everything looks: the greenery, the gardens, the trees. It honestly feels like living in a U.S. golf course community, but surrounded by the beauty of the Mexican Caribbean. The golf itself is superb, offering a PGA-level course, and the whole area has a calm, residential atmosphere.

One of the biggest highlights is Kay Beach Club, a private beachfront escape with excellent service, fantastic food, and a swimming pool overlooking the Ocean. Families appreciate having a well-known international school right in the community, making daily life even more convenient.

Suppose you are looking for a peaceful holiday or retirement home, prioritizing security and a lifestyle similar to what you experience back home. In that case, this is the place to feel at ease and truly enjoy your time in Tulum & the Riviera Maya.
