Generating income from wellness hype in Tulum.

Internationally known for its boho-chic-jungle ambiance, its notorious nightlife, music festivals on the sugar like sand beaches of the Mexican Caribbean, dreamy scenery, and sunsets. There is another side of Tulum that brings in people around the globe, making it even more attractive to invest in the area, and to benefit from vacation rentals. It is all about well-being, would you have imagined?

Vegan fest, once a year in summer time, vegans from different nationalities and different parts of Mexico gather to share the common interest of love and compassion towards animals, the environment, and a healthy lifestyle. Some are tourists looking for new ideas and products, some are vendors and expositors getting to know their product(s), others are interested in becoming vegans, or learn about it in their workshops offered, as veganism has gained so much popularity over the last years.

Many other participants look mostly to socialize and see what the fuss is all about, or show up in a hope to meet-and-greet their favorite celebrities there. National and international media cover this event, and it is advertised months before it takes place, meaning that well known vegan public figures show up for work and/or pleasure to this festival. There are thousands of visitors every year. They normally gather around some of the most iconic places in the area, but mostly close to Holistika: The top jungle wellness retreat where this fest was born, located in the pueblo of Tulum. It also works as a hotel, that offers wellness services, like out of this world yoga classes, products, other wellness related events, plus of course the healthiest possible and yummiest food in their restaurant.  

By investing on a property you desire to rent either on a well-known platform, or through a company, prepare to have it booked potentially year round, and at rates that will surprise you, especially during the highest season of the year, and around these type of festivals. There are many options around this specific area to consider, but those that I think are the top options to choose from because of their very attractive design, structure, amenities, and of course proximity to this place are three:

1.     About 4 minutes away from Holistika, one-of-a-kind, is an understatement for this development that will be ICONIC in Tulum. Located in the heart of town, by where all this fest action happens - and a lot more, related to other topics, and interests - . With unique hive-shaped exteriors, floor to ceiling windows that provide perfect lighting, functional, open spaces, captivating interiors, swim up pools, and elevated infinity pools with an outstanding view to the jungle. As an owner, you can foresee short term rentals at a very attractive fee, year round. Its price range as of today is $128 000.00 USD - $332 000.00 USD

2.     Normally seen before in mostly Nordic countries, the concept of this project is pioneer in this area, it fuses nature with architecture, and it recombines it. Only a few steps from Holistika, 50% of this development´s green areas will be preserved, creating more value to your property, and making it an oasis that your tenants (and yourself) will surely want to immerse in. It will offer to its residents an uniquely peaceful experience, with luxury finishes and amenities like yoga and meditation areas, as well as an organic market, pool, and lounge area. This will offer you a higher occupancy.
