Tulum eSIM.
Cliffside Mayan ruins, jungle cenotes and the beach road, stay connected across Tulum.
Tulum eSIM plans: unlimited, or by the GB.
Every Tulum eSIM from My Holiday SIM is one of two straightforward types. Pick whichever fits how you travel in Tulum — you can always top up or switch on your next trip.
Unlimited plansHigh-speed data, nothing to count
Priced per day — the longer you stay, the better the daily rate. Ideal for streaming, hotspot and longer trips where you'd rather not watch a data meter. A fair-use policy keeps speeds fast for everyone; see each plan for the detail.
- Best for streaming, video calls & hotspot
- Great for longer or open-ended trips
- One price per day — no GB anxiety
A set bundle, brilliant value
A fixed data allowance (say 3 GB or 10 GB) valid for your travel days. The best-value pick for lighter trips built around maps, messaging and a bit of browsing. Running low? Top up in a couple of taps — nothing to reinstall.
- Best value for lighter, shorter trips
- Clear allowance — pay only for what you need
- Top up any time from your phone
How much data do you need in Tulum?
A rough, honest guide to sizing your Tulum eSIM so you're not guessing. Most travellers in Tulum are comfortable on 3–5 GB a week — heavy streamers just go Unlimited.
Google Maps, WhatsApp, email and the odd search. Plenty for a city break where you mostly need directions.
Everything above plus social scrolling, music, cloud photo backups and a little video. Where most travellers land.
Netflix by the pool, long video calls home and hotspot for the laptop — go Unlimited and stop counting.
Tulum eSIM: your local data guide.
Tulum spreads its Mayan ruins, jungle cenotes and a long beach road of eco-hotels across a wide area with famously patchy signal. A Tulum eSIM helps you map Gran Cenote, book a Sian Ka'an tour and call a taxi between the Pueblo and the Zona Hotelera, where Wi-Fi is often slow.
Install the QR at home, then switch the eSIM on as you taxi in — you're online before you reach the arrivals hall.
Where you'll lean on data in Tulum.
Pull up the site's history and opening hours, and map the clifftop path above the Caribbean while your group scatters for photos.
Data is a lifeline along the beach road, where hotel Wi-Fi is patchy; use it to book beach clubs and call taxis between spread-out venues.
Navigate the town's taquerías and ATMs, and use ride-hailing or translation away from the pricier beachfront strip.
Pin hard-to-find cenote entrances off Highway 307 and book snorkelling or cave-diving slots before you lose signal in the jungle.
Getting around Tulum on your eSIM.
- Uber— Now legal in Quintana Roo and running in Tulum; app data avoids taxi overcharging.
- DiDi— Useful between the town and the beach zone; live fares and tracking rely on data.
- ADO— Buses to Cancún, Playa and the new Tulum airport; tickets bought in-app.
- Google Maps— Navigate the spread-out town, beach road and cenotes; offline maps help where signal fades.
Tulum is usually a three-to-five-day escape, splitting time between the beachfront hotel zone, the clifftop Mayan ruins, town-centre dining and swimming in surrounding cenotes.
Because the beach zone runs on patchy off-grid signal, a balanced 3-5 GB covers navigation and messaging; consider Unlimited only if you plan to hotspot or work remotely from town cafés.
Tulum Pueblo has reliable 4G, but the beachfront hotel zone is notoriously patchy — eco-resorts on solar power, jungle and no cabling mean weak signal along the beach road and inside inland cenotes.

Your Tulum eSIM: data-only, zero bill shock.
Your Tulum eSIM handles the internet while you travel. Your home number stays exactly where it is — no surprise roaming charges in Tulum, no swapping your real SIM out.
The eSIM is data-only and runs alongside your home SIM. Your number, iMessage and WhatsApp keep working exactly as they do at home.
Turn data roaming OFF on your home SIM and ON for the eSIM. You pay once, up front — no overage, no metered surprises, no bill waiting when you land home.
Because it's data-only, the eSIM can't receive bank verification (OTP) text codes — those still go to your home number. Keep it reachable on Wi-Fi calling, or use app-based codes.
