TULUM BACHELORETTE ITINERARY
Have you ever wondered what a luxury Tulum bachelorette weekend looks like? Maybe even found yourself lost in the reviews of the many vendors that claim they are the “Best of Tulum”? Looks like you came to the right place! We are going to take you through the ultimate guide to curating a luxurious and adventurous bachelorette weekend in Tulum. We will cover everything from exclusive nightclubs, evenings with private chefs crafting culinary masterpieces, photoshoots on the beach, and soooo much more!
Start by comparing the full journey to your accommodation, including flight schedules, baggage and the airport transfer. Check the exact property address before choosing flights, and allow time for arrival formalities and the drive to your stay.
TRANSPORTATION
Arrange your group’s airport transfer in advance and confirm the pickup location, passenger and luggage capacity, total price and cancellation terms. Ask the provider how it handles delayed flights and get a contact number for arrival day. Confirm your return pickup with enough time for your flight.
Allow us to introduce you to some of our favorite transporation companies we work with when planning bachelorette weekends in Tulum. In no particular order, first on our list is Serendipity Experiences. Their experienced drivers will pick you up in one of their luxury vehicles, which includes everything from bluetooth speakers and air conditioning to seltzers and champagne to start the celebration, as soon as you touchdown!
Another trusted transportation company we love incorporating into our bachelorette weekends is Go Tulum Travel. They can take you anywhere you want to go, including airport (Tulum and Cancun airports) transfers, marina transfers, and even have a VIP premium black car option for those of you who want to ball out!
ACCOMMODATIONS
Now that we have transportation covered, let’s talk about the most important part…..villa life. Where you stay in Tulum can impact your weekend more than you know! Whether you are in the Hotel Zone or are staying downtown, it’s important to know that later at night, the traffic to go into town or even to the hotel zone where majority of the best nightclubs, restaurants, etc. are located, is very very heavy.
This is where what you want to get out of your bachelorette weekend comes into play. If you want your bachelorette to be centered around all the best restaurants and epic nightclub life, the beach zone is where you want to stay.
One of our favorite places to stay in Tulum is Amansala Yoga & Wellness Resort. Amansala offers relaxed, eco-chic accommodations like no other boutique hotel in Tulum. Rightfully so, they are known as one of the most iconic hotels in Tulum, surrounded by white sand, palm trees, and turquoise water. Their village-like neighborhood consists of two properties, Grande and Chica, with Amansala’s signature Eco Chic Style, within a few minutes of each other and comprising various rooms and cabanas.
For all our wellness loving brides, there is a daily activity schedule filled with yoga classes, pilates classes, and even some guided meditation! After your workout, grab a bite to eat at their restaurant where they serve some of the freshest food in Tulum!
Some of our honorable mentions for accommodations are Azulik, Dreams Tulum, Conrad Tulum, Ahau Tulum, KAN Tulum and of course Secrets Tulum Resort.
If you want your bachelorette to be low key and more of a “stay-cation”, we highly recommend staying out of the hotel zone and downtown and head up north towards the little town, Akumal. Akumal is a picturesque beach destination known for its stunning turquoise waters and vibrant marine life. It’s most famous for its snorkeling spots, where visitors can swim alongside sea turtles in the bay!
The laid-back atmosphere, lush surroundings, and beautiful coral reefs make Akumal a perfect bach destination for brides seeking both adventure and relaxation. Akumal also has some of the cutest local shops and restaurants with authentic Mexican culture. Stay in a piece of paradise on the Riviera Maya in one of their many villas, including one of our favorites, Casa Milah.
FOR THE FOODIE
A private chef dinner can be a relaxed way to spend an evening together at your villa. Before booking, ask the property which services are included and whether outside chefs are permitted. Confirm the menu, dietary requirements, group size, kitchen facilities, service and cleanup, plus the full price and cancellation terms. Bach to Basic can help coordinate dining options within your trip plan.
If you are planning your bachelorette weekend in tulum, we’re assuming you did at least a little bit of research yourself, and chances are you came across the infamous Rosa Negra. This tribute to Latin American culture is one like no other! Between the sparkler dance parties on top of tables and the bars, this restaurant is where the soul, passion, and flavor of Latin America come to life in an atmosphere of joy and celebration. Make sure you make a reservation in advance, as they book up very fast!!
Kin Toh Tulum
If you want the ultimate jungle dining experience, we highly recommend popping over to Azulik’s Mayan-Mexican fusion restaurant, Kin Toh! Soar above the Mayan jungle, to the top of the trees in one of their nests, that will quite literally put you on cloud nine. Enjoy a cozy and chic ambience while enjoying their unique gastronomy.
Okay so we’ve covered the best places to grab dinner, but we know every bachelorette weekend needs a boozy brunch (girl code)! Bagatelle is one of the best, if not THE best spots to grab a French Mediterranean brunch with the girl. Located in the heart of the Riviera Maya, they serve everything from omelets to raviolis to tuna tartare! Order one of their signature cocktails (or mocktails!) from their long list of drinks they have on their menu and get ready for another day in paradise!
FOR THE ADVENTURER
It’s an unspoken rule that when you got to Mexico, you HAVE to go on a yacht. One of our favorite vendors to use when booking yachts for our parties is Boatsetter! Boatsetter is an online platform that comprises over 50,000 boat listings. It connects boat owners, renters, and captains across 700 distinct locations, spanning the Caribbean, Europe, Mexico, and the United States. You can think of it as the Airbnb of the water!
If water isn’t your thing, we have something for our land-lovers too! You can't visit Tulum without checking out some of the archaeological sites that point to the area being one of the last Mayan cities in the world! Tulum Riviera Maya Tours has a ton of different activities from Tulum Ruins tours to ATV tours throughout the jungles of Tulum!
For our adrenaline junkies and history buffs, Aventuras Mayas is just the thing you’re looking for! History, culture and adventure can all be found in one Riviera Maya tour! Get ready to explore the seaside archeological site of Tulum National Park, located on a cliff overlooking the crystal blue waters. After the tour of the National Park, they will take you deep into the mayan jungle where you will experience speedy ziplines over the jungle canopy. After your zipline, hop into the gorgeous underground cenote for a refreshing swim. Oh did we mention round-trip transportation and lunch were included??
If your ideal bachelorette includes DJs, bottle service, sand, and vibing with your girls by the ocean, beach clubs are where you want to be during the day! One of the best beach clubs Tulum has to offer is located in the hotel zone at Taboo Beach Club. Not only do they have amazing sushi, tacos, and drinks, but their atmosphere and decor is TOP. TIER.
One thing about Taboo is that they’re going to give you your money’s worth when you book a cabana with them. They will wait on your hand and foot and always make sure your glass is full. Their staff is so interactive with the guests and making sure you have the time of your life. The party at Taboo is never-ending so buckle up and make sure you stay hydrated (if ya know what we mean!).
