Where to find WiFi in Tulum (Part 1)

Tulum, known for its white sandy beaches and crystal clear water, is quickly becoming a hotspot for a new influx of travelers - digital nomads. With the past year’s pandemic disrupting industries worldwide, amplifying remote working possibilities and imposing travel restrictions, more and more professionals are seeking refuge in this creative haven. And yet, as the new hub for so many digital nomads, there is one thing that is often lacking in Tulum - a reliable, fast WiFi connection! 

We’ve all been there, ready to tackle that long to-do list with one major hiccup.. A slow (or non-existent) WiFi connection - every digital nomad’s nightmare! And since there’s nothing worse than the endless search for a reliable workspace with all the necessary amenities, so came the start of CoWorking Tulum. A membership system to access some of Tulum's most luxurious hotels and restaurants where you can CoWork with a growing community of digital nomads. With the added benefit of discounted food, drinks and private offices space for rent and now with 25+ partner locations, there is no shortage of places to work from. Below we list some hidden gems that are gorgeous, unique CoWorking Options with a good WiFi connection.

ORCHID HOUSE - Aldea Zama

In our mind, there’s one place that stands out from the rest when it comes to the three magic words ‘fiber optic internet’: Orchid House. This boutique hotel nails that perfect balance between feeling like a local, and living the luxury experience. With their super fast internet putting them top on our favourites list, you have the option to work on their quiet ground floor, rooftop, or by work in a pool side workstation. And trust us when we tell you that their local cuisine is reason enough to visit.. 

The added advantage with this location is that they also have a private office for rent by the hour. Perfect if you’re in need of a little extra privacy, or have an upcoming meeting.

KANAN - Beachside

Next on our list is one of our most picturesque beachside locations, also blessed with good WiFi. Kanan is both eco-friendly and luxurious, giving the impression of being transported into a giant treehouse… if that treehouse were to have a rooftop, pool, and all-round stunning views (of course).

With beachfront access, music and a lively atmosphere, Kanan is the perfect mix of work and play. Top that off with 15% off their tasty Asian, Mexican and Peruvian dishes (exclusively for CoWorking Tulum members) and you’ve found yourself a pretty dreamy workspace. 

Just bear in mind that there can be the occasional price to pay for a beachside paradise. All locations along the Tulum beach are run on generators, and you might find that some days the internet isn’t quite as fast and reliable. So if you have a particularly urgent deadline coming up, your safest bet is usually staying close to town.

Encanto Cantina - Centro 

When it comes to finding fast internet in Tulum centro, a great little gem that is often overlooked is Encanto Cantina. This gorgeous restaurant in the centre of town has tons of workspace and offers one of the best breakfasts in Tulum. 

Equipped with a large garden in the back, delicious authentic cuisine and Fiber Optic WiFi - this family run restaurant is a must-visit. Stay there for the afternoon or into the evening as the space transforms for dinner, with candles and live entertainment.

Girafe Restaurant, Tuk Tulum - Centro 

When it comes to convenient CoWorking locations, Tuk Tulum is one of our favourites. Nestled just off the main road, Av. Coba, it is ideally located for easy access to the beach. Work comfortably either at their Gypsie bar, or the Giraffe restaurant - complete with a varied and delicious menu, indoor and outdoor seating, and fast WiFi.

CoWorking Members also enjoy a free day pass to the Tuk Tulum gym. Perfect for that midday workout!
