Tulum Recommendations

BE Tulum has excellent food. The beach is a gorgeous stretch and the spa is also great! However, keep in mind that it's at the end of the hotel strip, which may be further away from some of the nightlife than other hotels.

Gitano Jungle is a popular spot for a disco party. It's located in the hotel area, just a few steps from Arca, where you have a meal booked.

For a waterside 'club' experience, head to Sipalitos Laguna Club on Nopalitos Lagoon. It's a great spot to be by the water, even in the off-season.

Mia Tulum is a great option for a beachfront room with a private outdoor lounging area/patio/terrace to lounge in during the day. It's a little newer and busier with a great beach club during the day, but still offers a quiet and private experience.

Cetli is a little bit outside of town (like 5 min north) but it’s incredible and absolutely worth it. It's a great option for Mexican eats, especially if you're looking for something a bit off the beaten path.

Dos Ojos is a great spot for cenote diving and snorkeling. The guides will take you to the site, and while you dive, your mom can snorkel in the same location. They have snorkel tours going all day, and you can rent snorkeling equipment there. It's a perfect way to spend a day with your mother, exploring the beautiful cenotes of Tulum.

Ask for Nereyda or Lupita, they come to you and provide prenatal massage. They have a great reputation and good rates, and are available for long-term bookings.

It has a really chill vibe. I recommend Lula/La Zebra for a beach club experience without the party atmosphere. It's a great place to relax and enjoy a daybed with a reasonable minimum spend.

Waste Neutral Technologies operates a plant in Tulum that converts plastic waste into fuel and engine additives, a solution that addresses the municipality's lack of a landfill since 2023. This innovative approach makes the plant a local hero, especially since it sits within Tulum's boundaries. The plant's operations are not detailed in the article, but its existence highlights the city's focus on sustainability and its potential to transform waste into valuable resources. It offers a practical solution to the plastic waste problem in Tulum, which is essential for a community like Tulum that values environmental stewardship.

Located in the quiet Tankah Bay area, Kaoba is a beautiful hotel right on the beach with nice pools and kayaks. It's a 10-15 minute drive from Tulum, but worth the trip for its peaceful atmosphere and scenic views. You'll definitely want a rental car to get around and explore the local restaurants.

Zamna Tulum 2027 is set to be a significant event, running for 10 days from December 31, 2026 to January 10, 2027. The festival is marking its 10th anniversary with a commemorative video and offering a second tier of Multipass tickets, allowing attendees to choose their event days. This marks the largest Zamna event in Tulum to date. Zamna Tulum 2027 promises to feature a lineup of renowned DJs and electronic music artists, including Black Coffee, Tiësto, and numerous others. The festival will offer a unique experience with large format stages, lighting rigs, and visual work designed to change over the course of a night, creating a self-contained world for each stage. The Multipass pass is now available, giving attendees the flexibility to build their own run of events.

Located in Aldea Zama, Irie Tulum is a great area to stay in, with paved and well-maintained streets, lots of walkable areas, and green space. It's a quieter area that's very safe and has quite a few great cafes, restaurants, and bars. It's about a 10-minute drive to the beach and about 5 minutes to downtown, so plan on bikes/taxis/a car rather than assuming you'll walk everywhere.

Parque del Jaguar is the single best real, current, still-operating place in Tulum that I can recommend based on the article. The cleanup crews have focused their efforts on the public beaches, with Playa del Pueblo, Parque del Jaguar, Punta Piedra, and Conchitas being at the top of the list. These beaches offer a great spot for yoga, meditation, or just relaxation in the fresh air and sand. The fact that the cleanup crews have avoided heavy machinery to prevent sand erosion makes Parque del Jaguar an ideal place to spend time in the sun and the sand. Another reason to visit Parque del Jaguar is that the cleanup crews have left the sand alone. This is crucial for those who value the natural beauty of the beaches and the impact of heavy machinery on the beachscape.
