If you’re dreaming of sun, sea, and pure white sands in Mexico, then you’ll want to head to the serene shores of Tulum, one of Mexico’s most popular beach towns on the Yucatán Peninsula.
It features ancient Mayan ruins, great food, and endless beach clubs set along the spectacular Caribbean Sea – but there are plenty more things to do in Tulum, Mexico than just lazing on the beach.
Although Tulum’s popularity continues to increase, it remains quieter than nearby Cancun and Playa del Carmen, offering a more laid back vibe for travellers.

There are a couple of public sections of beach, but if you want to relax on a sun bed under an umbrella with a choice of food and cocktails a Tulum beach club is the way to go!
When choosing a beach club, walk along the beach from the ocean side, which allows you to check out the different set ups of each club – something you can’t do from the road.

Viento De Mar had among the best sun bed set up of any beach club and has the advantage of not being listed in the tourist map handed out by most hotels in downtown Tulum, meaning people won’t come searching it out.
Top tip: If there are two of you, and you have the choice, select an umbrella with two single beds, as opposed to doubles, as during busy times you may find they put another couple next to you under the same umbrella. This kind of kills some of the exclusivity. Pack a book or two and you’ll be set for the day.
