Saltilo tile or any kind of natural stone (rough hewn) would do well outdoors. If this is DIY, you need the same skills you'd need for indoor tiling. Tiling is really pretty easy to learn. You just need to have or rent the correct tools and have a go. The positive of working outdoors is that the level of finish that you are going for is not usually as perfect as indoor.
As far as your paint flaking away, you likely just didn't do enough surface prep and/or you got the wrong kind of paint for the project. Outdoor paint for a floor, I'm assuming concrete, you'd want to go with an epoxy paint product.
