A literal Pinterest dream, Coco Tulum Beach Club channels the ‘white sand, blue water’ aesthetic to create a serene rest stop. Sun loungers and beanbags alike rest on both sand and white-washed decks so you can choose between tanning and the shade.
Beach towels, umbrellas and more are provided – and so is grub. Grab a signature cocktail from the beach bar (‘Co Coffee’ is perfect if you need your caffeine) or stock up on smoothies. For nibbles, share a Mexico Lindo if you’re feeling generous!
