Casa Tira, La Veleta Tulum

Casa Tira is for the group of sixteen who want Tulum the way residents have it. The house sits in La Veleta, the leafy residential quarter southwest of the town centre where the streets stay green and the pace stays local rather than touristic.

Seven bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, take a large family trip or a group of friends who want somewhere to disperse to between outings rather than sharing one room all week. The house is organised around its outdoor layers: a pool, a shaded terrace and a tropical garden outside, with open living rooms and a fully equipped kitchen holding the middle.

The neighbourhood does the daily work. Cafés and taquerias are within walking distance, the wider restaurant scene is minutes away, and the coast and the swimming caves are a straightforward drive. Days tend to start slowly at the pool and finish late at the outdoor table.

Housekeeping, air-conditioning and Wi-Fi are standard. Catering and planning are available for stays that would rather hand over the logistics.

Guests comparing La Veleta with the beach zone are choosing between belonging and beachfront. Casa Tira is the case for belonging: a bigger house, a quieter night, and the town on foot. Enquire for availability.
