Tulum has grown so popular that it now has an international airport now.
All beaches in Mexico are public and you’re welcome to bring everything you need for the day. Tulum, however, has a lengthy list of well-equipped beach clubs that provide everything from towels and cold drinks to elaborate menus, oceanfront pools, Bali beds, and sceney parties.
Everyone’s favorite is Papaya Playa Project, one of the original beach clubs that began well before Tulum was the international superstar destination it is today.
Papaya Playa Project sits within a sustainable boutique hotel right on the sand, blending jungle vibes with funky decor. The best way to experience this beach club is to book a room so you can be immersed in the experience.
Taboo is another dreamscape of a beach club, with an infinity pool that overlooks the Caribbean Sea and a crown of fluffy, cloud-like daybeds. The menu here offers a mix of Mediterranean and Mexican cuisine, as well as fresh sushi.
Reservations are a must, particularly if you’re visiting during the high season.
