Things are bustling south of Cancun. The popular hostel and co-working chain Selina just opened its latest property in Tulum earlier this month. Selina Tulum Downtown is now the brand’s second location in the beach town and the 12th in all of Mexico. The first property, Selina Tulum, is located along the beach in Tulum’s Zona Hotelera, which makes this new location a more central alternative to those looking to stay in the downtown area. We’ve got all the details for you below.
According to the brand’s official website, “Selina Tulum Downtown sits in the heart of the buzzing city, surrounded by stunning white sands, crystal-clear waters, and Tulum’s captivating ancient Mayan ruins. Dive into the city’s vibrant party scene, search for cenotes as you weave through the mangroves in Parque Nacional Tulum, or explore your wellness journey with a local Mayan Shaman, moments from our downtown city spot.”
Here at the property, guests will be a stone’s throw from the hustle and bustle of downtown Tulum and have easy access to the major attractions of this part of the Riviera Maya.
Selina Tulum Downtown is officially the 6th of its kind in Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula, with other properties located in nearby Playa del Carmen, Isla Mujeres, as well as 2 in Cancun (downtown and Hotel Zone). And if you want to catch up with friends at Selina Tulum with its beach club, there’s a shuttle service provided to and from the property.

What Is Selina?
Aimed at 20 and 30-somethings who like to slow travel while working remotely, Selina offers lots of services to cater to that demographic with lots of stylish amenities along the way. The company states that the property offers “more than a place to stay” by providing lots of opportunities to meet fellow travelers and digital nomads, whether it be by joining in on daily events or tours to explore the surrounding area of Tulum. To ensure speedy WiFi for its guests, many of whom are “digital nomads,” the hotel brand recently partnered with GigNet to provide fiber optic internet for its properties in the Riviera Maya.
Some of Selina’s typical events, like morning yoga and sunset rooftop parties, are currently scheduled at the property, and more is set for the coming months. While there’s no dorm room option for travelers at this time, you can book a stay in one of their Private or Private Plus rooms.
