You’re going to want somewhere to cool off and enjoy some delicious food and drink.
The good news? From the ruins, you are just minutes away from one of the best beaches the region has to offer, Playa Paraiso!
Perched neatly on its sands you will find Paraiso Beach Club.
In comparison to most of the other beach clubs in the area, the oversized beach beds are incredibly comfy, inviting you for an irresistible lazy day in the sun with palm trees casting natural shade.
To add to this beach club’s appeal the food here is to die for.
You’ll have the choice to snack on small flavorsome plates, or even feast on larger dishes such as freshly caught lobster.

3. Hip Hotel Tulum
Kid-Friendly | $$-$$$ | Minimum Spend = 25 USD Per Person
When I was last in Tulum this is where I spent most of the day and night (there just so happened to be a full moon party happening).
I and my boyfriend kicked back on the soft beds (that were free once you opened up a tap) and lay under the white drapes and gorgeous dream catchers in between taking a swim in the ocean and relaxing.
It was dreamy…
And the decor of this place certainly captures the essence of the Tulum lifestyle.
Think all-white, turquoise blue, and of course, nautical rope swings to rock back and forth on at the bar before ordering your next round of drinks.
The staff here were quick, polite, and attentive… serving up the best mango mojitos I have ever tried.
I can’t wait to go back!
Everything you’ve heard about Tulum is materialized in Hip Hotel Beach Club – it’s a must.
As the sun went down the twinkling fairy lights wrapped around the palm trees all lit up, and the DJ arrived to play cool electronic beats into the night for the full moon party, it was awesome!
Highlights of Hip Hotel Beach Club:
- Mango Mojitos.
- Comfortable lush beach beds.
- Cool DJs daily and full moon parties.
4. Mia Beach Club
Kid-Friendly | $$-$$$ | Minimum Spend = 20 USD
If you want the ultimate beach club experience without compromising on delicious restaurant-quality food, then Mia is the place for you!
They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner and have plenty of options for vegans and veggies alike.
Wine lovers, rejoice here at Mia!
There are over 200 exquisite labels from around the world for you to enjoy.
Strategically positioned in the best area of the hotel zone, you can expect the perfect blend of great service, stylish decor, and relaxed beach vibes.
Considering its upscale appearance, I love this beach club because it is reasonably priced, however, there is a minimum spend of 20 USD which is a little pricey by local standards but for tourists its what you expect to pay in these parts – and totally worth it.
Once you open up that bar tab the beach beds are free – win!
There’s even a pool onsite for children and adults if you’re not a fan of the waves or want to keep a closer eye on your kids as they enjoy the sunshine in paradise with you.
There’s plenty of shade inside to escape the blazing heat of the Caribbean sun and kick back on the cushioned sofas.

- The extensive wine list.
- World-class service.
- Stunning almost hotel-like decor and design.
5. Coco Tulum

All-white
When I first went to Coco Tulum my first thoughts were that it was a beach club for the good-looking elite, so if you were blessed with looks you will fit right in.
All jokes aside this place is definitely worth checking out for the fish tacos alone.
By day, it’s a hip hangout with rope swings, insta-worthy shots, and an exciting lunch menu…
By night, the gradual crescendo of electronic beats transforms this beach club into the hottest party spot on this side of town.
It is definitely worth sticking around for if you can.
Sit softly in the hammocks, beanbags, and beach chairs as you watch the world go by.
This beach club even has its own car park which can come in handy if you do have a rental or you’re making your own way here.
However, again, it can fill up quickly so be sure to arrive earlyish if possible to guarantee your spot.
Highlights of Coco Tulum Beach Club:
- Insta-worthy swing spot with ocean backdrop!

Expect well-groomed sands and ample indoor seating/shaded areas.
There are even solar chargers for your phone which is ‘very Tulum’ if I do say so myself.
Sit back and savor the flavors of rum-spiked coconuts while you enjoy some of the best of what this area has to offer.

7. The Papaya Playa Project Beach Club
Kid-Friendly | $$-$$$ | Minimum Spend = 50 USD Per Person
Hats off to Papaya Playa!
During the lockdown period as a result of the COVID-19 instead of shutting their doors and waiting for better days they rolled up their sleeves and got to work.
In their own words, they were preparing for the “new earth” and have emerged “reborn”.Back with a bang, they have a completely new space, menu, cocktail, and wine list – and boy was it worth waiting for!
It’s true what they say long roads often lead to beautiful destinations.
This is now one of my favorite spots in Tulum.
Located on the northern stretch it’s one of the closest beach clubs to Playa del Carmen and boasts unobstructed views of the magnificent shore…
Papaya Playa’s new space’s interior and exterior design is the perfect blend of nature and the sea.
If you love music the tunes to go along with the new setting have been curated by guest artists and resident DJs.
Impressively, the kitchen is now full of fresh, sustainable, and rich flavors that work in harmony with the new mixology menu.
COVID-19 definitely pushed them to raise the bar, and Papaya Playa has done exactly that.
If you check it out be sure to let us know about your experience down in the comments section below we would love to hear from you.
Highlights of Papaya Playa Beach Club:
- Renvisioned space and food/drink menu.

Looking for a luxuriously rustic beach resort in Tulum, then look no further!
At Ahau Tulum, you can unplug, unwind, and enjoy barefoot sophistication amid the soft powdery white sands of Tulum.
This beach club has been designed with the eco-conscious traveler in mind everything from the Cabanas to the beach huts on the oceanfront.
You can even keep your fitness goals alive at this beach club as Ahau tutu offers yoga lessons and sunrise meditations.
Oh, and did I mention the entrance is a work of art?
No, really it is!
It’s for this reason alone that many tourists flock to Ahau Tulum, I mean, who wouldn’t want to get a picture in front of this architectural/artistic masterpiece?
If you want a sun chair to relax on at this beach club there is a minimum spend to secure your spot, and the bummer is, that the restaurant is not included in this spend but all the more reason to drink, right?
However, all in all, I’d say it’s worth it if you want excellent, food, and ambiance!
The view of the ocean is breathtaking!
Highlights of Ahau Tulum Beach Club:
- The entrance.
- The tempura tacos.
- Pet-friendly.
9. Mina
Kid-Friendly | $$-$$$ | Minimum Spend = 50 USD
If you’re searching for some Argentinian standard steak, then you HAVE to check out Mina Beach Club.
It’s a part of the Maria Del Mar hotel (Casa Banana group), and it’s open every day from 7.30 – 10.30 pm.
The main pro about this beach club in Tulum is, without a doubt, the view!
It’s cozy, casual, and good for groups.
Drinks also get a solid 10/10 from me as they are strong, flavourful, and fresh!
If you have kids over the ages of 12 they are certainly welcome here at Mina too, which is always good to know because not all beach clubs were created equal in Tulum.
Let your kids enjoy playing on the beach while you sip on your favorite cocktail and savor the flavors of the delicious food on offer.
Highlights of Mina Beach Club:
- Cocktail menu.
- The servers were very attentive.
- Ocean and beach view.
10. Zazil Kin
Kid-Friendly | $ | Minimum Spend = 9 USD
Finally Zazil Kin is perfect for those who are ballin’ on a budget and don’t want to spend too much at the beach.
You can either rent a sunbed for 150 pesos or if you spend 200 pesos at the restaurant (easily done) it’s free!
The food is also delicious and I recommend trying the ceviche if you like your seafood.
It’s noticeably cheaper here than most beach clubs…it’s on a public stretch so the beach isn’t as nice as in other parts but c’mon this is Tulum, obviously, it’s still beautiful.
The best part? You get a million-dollar view of the Tulum Ruins!
Why Tulum?
The beaches here are unrivaled and there’s a boho vibe that permeates the entire region.
Popular with influencers, eco-warriors, nomads, and backpackers you’re guaranteed to meet interesting people along the way.
Have fun in Tulum.
