Tulum was once known as a sleepy fishing village in Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula and is today’s top destination to find wellness, adventure, and the Caribbean in Mexico. With its jungle surroundings, Mayan ruins, and pure white sand beaches, Tulum has its share of hotels and resorts to indulge in.

There are 10 miles of beach in Tulum over three zones: Zona Pueblo, Zona Hotelera, and Zona Ruinas. One of the popular activities in Tulum is beach club hopping. So, hotels are open to daytrippers.

Most Tulum beach clubs extend their beach and pool facilities for a per-person day pass fee or minimum bar and restaurant tab. You are then welcome to spend your day on a sun bed shaded by palm trees. The hospitality staff caters to your every need by keeping the drinks flowing and food served.

These beach clubs can range from luxurious and private to budget-friendly on a public beach. Day prices and amenities (chaises, umbrellas, towels) vary.

Most of the time, you will need to reserve your spot ahead of time by emailing or calling the club. The high season is November to January, and sometimes the clubs update their entrance fees seasonally.
