Country clubs in Tulum
Life in a Tulum golf community happens among jungle, lakes and internal roads you drive by golf cart. Here you will find lots, homes and the practical services you need to live here, come for the season or rent out your property.
Living in a club in Tulum
The main community is Tulum Country Club, founded as Bahía Príncipe Residencial Golf Resort. It has a golf course, lakes and more than fifteen gated neighborhoods (privadas), each with its own name and feel.
The club sits outside downtown Tulum. Inside, daily life runs on golf carts: to the course, to the neighbors, to the common areas. For groceries, the beach or town, you will want a car or a ride.
Jungle climate and your home
Humidity is high most of the year. A house left closed for weeks can develop mold, odors and damaged appliances if nobody airs it out or checks the AC.
The rainy season and hurricane season (officially June through November) overlap for much of summer and fall. It pays to have a plan before each season and someone to check the house after every storm.
Power outages and voltage swings
Power cuts and voltage spikes are common in the area, and they are hard on fridges, pumps and air conditioners. Many homes also use a lot of power because of the heat, which can push them into DAC, the high-consumption residential rate of CFE, Mexico's state utility.
Solar panels with battery backup address both issues: they keep the essentials running during an outage and cut what you buy from the grid.
If you are not here year round
Many owners in the club live in the US, Canada, Europe or elsewhere in Mexico. They fly into Tulum International Airport or Cancún and spend a few weeks or months here.
While you are away, we can arrange home visits, bill payments and getting the house ready before you land. If you want the home to earn income, we also connect you with vacation rental management.
Buying a lot or a home
We help you compare neighborhoods, review the lot paperwork and understand maintenance fees and HOA rules before you commit. Near the coast, foreigners buy through a bank trust (fideicomiso), and we walk you through it in English.

Services in Tulum
- Home watch for your Tulum homeA house in the jungle cannot be locked up and forgotten. With humidity, power outages and hurricane season, someone needs to check on it regularly. We connect you with a local home watch service that does exactly that and reports back.
- Solar power and battery backup in TulumIn Tulum, power cuts and voltage swings are part of daily life, and the heat keeps the AC running for hours. A solar system with batteries gives you backup and lowers what you pay CFE, Mexico's state power company.
- Golf carts in TulumIn a Tulum club, a golf cart is not just for the course: it is how you get between your house, the common areas and your neighbors. We connect you with local providers for sales, rentals and maintenance.
- Vacation rental management in TulumTulum has an active vacation rental market, and many homes in the club sit empty for months while their owners are away. We connect you with local managers who run the rental from start to finish.
- Concierge for your stay in TulumArriving at a house that has been closed up in the jungle, with no groceries and a dead golf cart, is not how you want to start a trip. We coordinate with local providers so everything is ready and your stay is easy.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a car if I live in the club?
Inside the club you get around by golf cart. To reach downtown Tulum, the beach or a big grocery store, a car or arranged rides make life easier.
Which airport should I fly into?
You have two choices: Tulum International Airport and Cancún International Airport. Cancún usually has more direct flights from the US and Canada; Tulum can save you highway time depending on your route. We can line up a transfer from either.
What happens to my house during hurricane season?
The usual approach is to prep the house before the season and have it inspected after each storm. We can coordinate both while you are away.
Can I rent out my home when I am not using it?
Yes, as long as your neighborhood's rules allow it. Before listing, we review the club rules, and we suggest checking your Mexican tax obligations with an accountant.
