If you’ve had even one eye on the luxury travel sphere of late, you’ve probably heard of Tulum. This once-quiet Mexican town has spent the last decade transforming into a luxury Caribbean hotspot to rival any other.

Famed for its fantastic history and natural beauty, Tulum also boasts of crystal waters and white sand beaches. Add to that the premium beach clubs and striking seafront resorts, and you could say that this is a no-brainer for a luxury trip this summer.

But how do you choose the best luxury hotel for your purposes? Tulum is now brimming with top resorts. However, some are better than others, and we’re going to consider three determining factors for which is most worthy of your trip.

 

# 1 - A Room With a (Sea) View

You’re not heading to Tulum to sit in a dark room. You want to see the full beauty of this location for yourself, and guess how you can ensure that? By always choosing hotel rooms with a view!

Of course, there are plenty of inland hotels here, too, but your main focus for a luxury stay has to be those iconic beachfront resorts. We’re talking airy rooms, more windows than walls, and doors that lead you right onto those white sand beaches, and into the Caribbean itself. Without this, is it really a luxury trip at all? We don’t think so! Trust us when we say that you’ll want to see those crystal clear Tulum waters as much as humanly possible!

 

# 2 - A Beach Club you can use

Tulum is famed for over 50 beach clubs, which provide food, drinks, and sun loungers to anyone who enters and agrees to a minimum daily spend. Lots of these clubs are independent, but there are also many that are directly partnered with a famed Tulum resort like La Zebra.

Hence, it’s also well worth looking for a resort that has a beach club you can access. As well as ensuring somewhere equally luxurious as your room itself to hang out in the day, these partnerships can be especially useful for your stay, as they ensure benefits like priority entry and potential cost savings. All of which will make it easier to ensure the Tulum luxury you’re looking for.

 

# 3 - All of the Amenities You Could Need

No one goes on a luxury vacation with the intention of roughing it, so it’s also well worth getting to grips with the amenities you can expect at your hotel of choice. The fact that Tulum accommodations tend to be entire resorts means that you can certainly expect more on-site than a simple room and a balcony.

Instead, Tulum’s best resorts are famed for offering everything from on-site spas to luxury Mexican dining, and even events including tortilla workshops and the ability to embark on a little beachside mixology. These are all additions that could take your Tulum trip from a pleasant time to a memory that’ll last forever. So be sure to look out for them before booking!
