Tulum, the bohemian jewel of the Riviera Maya, is not only a sanctuary for sun-seekers but also a creative outlet for the fashion-forward. The town’s beach clubs provide aesthetic areas for relaxing with a cold cocktail in hand; where the jungle meets the sea, and style meets substance.

In this article we’ll give you some outfit inspiration so you can dress to impress for Tulum’s most iconic beach clubs and venues.

What to wear to Tulum’s best beach clubs

Bagatelle Beach Club

Bagatelle:

Bagatelle is a French-inspired beach club in Tulum, where you can enjoy a sophisticated brunch, sip champagne, and dance to live music. The vibe is elegant and glamorous, with a touch of bohemian flair. The dress code is chic and refined, with neutral tones and delicate details.

We recommend the Antonia beaded midi skirt from Sir the Label, paired with the Barragan embroidered seersucker bikini top from Marysia. Add some accessories to elevate your look, such as the Triomphe cat-eye acetate sunglasses from Celine Eyewear, the bow grosgrain and leather slingback sandals from The Row. You’ll be ready to mingle with the jet-set crowd at Bagatelle.

Distrito Panamera:

Hotel Panamera is a stylish hotel with a lively beach club, featuring themed nights inspired by Wes Anderson and moon phases. Hotel Panamera’s famous white and red checkered pool is a design junkie’s dream backdrop. This is where the cool kids hang out, and the dress code is indie with a heavy vintage influence. Think 70’s wide leg pants, velvet bow detailing, and beaded bags that channel your inner Suki Waterhouse.

Tantra:

Tantra is a restaurant and beach club in the center of Tulum beach, with interiors inspired by Balinese architecture and Indonesian cuisine.The style here is a little more sultry. Tantra stays open into the evening, so most people arrive in what they intend to wear all night. Think scantily-clad bohemian with a touch of texture. Try flowy kaftans and cut-out one piece swimsuits, crochet cover ups, and linen mini dresses that will have you dancing into the evening. Accessorize with gold-rimmed aviators  to add some sparkle to your sunset celebrations.

Nomade/Be Tulum:

This is where you go to find some down time after one too many New Years margaritas. Rejuvenate at the renowned Yaan healing sanctuary, with a sound baths or yoga. Followed up by some wholesome Mexican food at Maresias. The style code is eco-chic. Think high-end yoga shorts and preppy cotton shirts, or loose matching linen sets. We love the sunset surf linen set from Hansen & Gretel with a raffia slide.

Styling tips for Tulum’s climate:  

1. Remember, Tulum’s tropical climate calls for breathable fabrics. Linen, cotton, and silk are your best friends, keeping you cool and comfortable for a long day in the sun. And as the sun dips below the horizon, a light jumper or long sleeve top will be the perfect companion for the cooler evenings. For more detailed tips read our Tulum packing guide.

2. Some of the restaurants do enforce a dress code in the evening, particularly for men. If you have a booking at one of the high-end restaurants I would recommend checking their website before you arrive. Some places like Kin-Toh at Azulik require men to wear smart pants with no sandals and won’t allow anyone to wear swimsuits for a dinner reservation. If you’d like some restaurant recommendation s for your trip check out our Tulum restaurant guide

3. If you’ve never been to Tulum before, be aware that the roads are very rocky. They have potholes and can flood. It’s not worth packing stiletto style high heels. The best option is to wear nice flat sandals, slides, or a mid-heel shoe that’s easy to walk in.
