Looking to go beyond the usual beach day in Tulum? These hidden gems are just 30 minutes away from Hotel Era and offer some of the most peaceful, off-the-radar adventures in the region. Whether you’re craving jungle quiet, mystical waters, or ancient energy, here’s your guide to escaping the crowds and finding your own slice of magic.

Cenote Cristal

Best for: Peaceful floating and sun-soaked serenity
Surrounded by jungle but easily accessible, Cenote Cristal is one of the most tranquil cenotes near Tulum. With clear water, gentle platforms for sunbathing, and fewer visitors than other spots, it’s the kind of place where you can actually hear yourself exhale.

Laguna Kaan Luum

Best for: Natural mud masks and unreal turquoise views
This shallow lagoon features a deep cenote in its center, creating a mesmerizing gradient of greens and blues. Locals love it for the mineral-rich mud that guests smear on as a free spa treatment. It’s a dreamlike place to float, recharge, and snap that perfect photo.

Tankah Park

Best for: Jungle thrills and cenote dips
A little bit adventure, a little bit retreat. Tankah Park offers ziplining, canoeing, and cliff-jumping alongside quiet pathways and serene cenotes. It’s family-run and less commercialized, giving you an authentic feel of the region’s natural beauty.

Coba Ruins 

Best for: Ancient Mayan energy without the crowds
While Chichen Itza gets the fame, Coba gives you the soul. Wander through tree-covered ruins, rent a bike to explore the expansive site, and climb the ancient Nohoch Mul pyramid for sweeping jungle views.

Cenote Corazon

Best for: A romantic float in a cenote shaped like a heart
Hidden just off the main road, Cenote Corazon is a peaceful spot ideal for couples. The heart-shaped cenote feels extra special at golden hour, when the sun hits just right and the water shimmers with calm.

Let the Rhythm of Tulum Lead the Way
At Hotel Era, you’re perfectly placed to explore these soulful spots without rushing. Wake up slow, wander somewhere new, and return to a rooftop sunset and restful night.
