7 locals. Their picks, their events, and a direct line to ask questions before you fly.


Founder of Localyzed. 4 year resident of Tulum. Big fan of eating out and finding the best party on any given night. Tapped in to the wellness side of Tulum too!
Chef and recipe writer. Born in Mexico City, twelve years in Tulum kitchens. I'll send you to the cevichería tucked behind the laundromat, the mezcalería that doesn't take reservations, and the panadería that sells out by 9am.
Industrial designer based in CDMX, in Tulum every other month. I shop hard and I curate harder — the boutiques worth your time, the galleries that aren't Instagram traps, the artisan studios most travelers never find.
Yoga teacher, breathwork facilitator, and unrepentant cenote enthusiast. My picks lean toward the quieter side of Tulum: dawn cenote dives, sound baths in the jungle, and the kind of vegan place that doesn't advertise it.
Surfer first, everything else second. I split time between Tulum and Sayulita and know which beach breaks turn on with which swell. If you want to actually surf in Tulum (it's tricky), I'll send you the right way.
DJ and music programmer. I run a monthly residency at a beach club I won't name here. If you're here for the parties, the late-night listening rooms, and the after-hours that only locals hear about, this is the guide for you.


World traveller, based in Tulum. Love all things outdoors, and love the food and local nightlife scene (not so much the clubs) in Tulum.
