A Unique Experience
My name is Snow. I manage the reservations for Mahayana and Zorba Beach Homes and know the homes and properties intimately -- they have been my home away from home for the past 20 years.

We look forward to welcoming you to Tulum!
We have been incredibly lucky to develop our collection of beachside homes directly along the shore in the most desirable part of the beach. As the coastline gets more populated with hotels and restaurants, the location of our rental homes is even more precious with exclusive access to the famous Tulum beach just steps from your door. Our beachfront is furnished with lounge chairs and palapas and is the perfect place to pass the day. The shared seaside pool is a rare and beautiful amenity on Tulum beach.
