Chic Tulum Beach Club Outfits: A Style Guide
The Distrito Panamera Beach Club at Hotel Panamera
A visit to Tulum isn’t just about pristine beaches and jungle-fringed retreats. It’s a stage for self-expression, where fashion is as much a part of the experience as the mezcal cocktails and DJ sets.
This town thrives on it’s dual identity, by day, a bohemian wellness retreat, and by night, a neon playground of hedonism. The local style mirrors this contrast; flowy linen and earthy neutrals in the morning, shimmering sheer fabrics and bold statement pieces once the sun goes down.
Tulum’s beach clubs are full of immaculately styled influencers, globe-trotting creatives, and effortlessly cool locals who know that dressing up is part of the fun. The aesthetics here aren’t just about looking good for Instagram (though, let’s be real, that’s part of it); it’s about embracing the town’s uninhibited, free-spirited nature and pushing your style boundaries beyond what you’d wear at your local beach bar.
After one too many overpacked suitcases, extortionary excess baggage charges, and impractical footwear choices, I’ve learned that Tulum style is all about practical yet playful pieces that move seamlessly from day to night.
Whether you’re brunching at Bagatelle, poolside at Distrito Panamera, or dancing into the night at Mia, dressing the part is essential. In this guide, we’ll serve up outfit inspiration so you can make an entrance at Tulum’s most iconic beach clubs.
What to wear to Tulum’s best beach clubs
Bagatelle Beach Club
Bagatelle Beach Club
Bagatelle is a French hospitality brand of luxury restaurants and beach clubs that celebrate the South of France’s joie de vivre and epicurean way of life.
Think rosé-fueled brunches, live music, and a well-heeled crowd. For an outfit aesthetic channel chic and refined fabrics with neutral tones, delicate details, and pieces that feel equal parts effortless and elevated.

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 nostalgia, velvet bow detailing, and beaded bags that channel your inner Suki Waterhouse.

Tantra:
Tantra isn’t just a beach club; it’s a mood. Located in the heart of Tulum’s beach zone, this Balinese-inspired beach club blends Indonesian flavors with a sultry, sun-drenched aesthetic. Unlike the more casual daytime clubs, Tantra leans into the after-dark energy, making it the kind of place where you’ll want an outfit that transitions seamlessly from daytime drinks to starlit dance parties.
The vibe? Scantily-clad. Think crochet cover-ups that leave just enough to the imagination, cut-out swimsuits that double as statement pieces, and mesh maxi’s that let you dance barefoot in the sand without breaking a sweat. Texture is key—raffia accessories, crochet cotton, and playful prints.

AMANU Kibera Leather Sandals – Handmade leather sandals that keep it chic but practical for the inevitable barefoot beach moments.
Nomade/Be Tulum:
This is where you go to reset after one too many New Year’s margaritas. The vibe? Think barefoot luxury meets high-frequency healing. Start your morning at Yaan Healing Sanctuary with a sound bath or a sunrise yoga session. Then, wander over to Maresias for wholesome Mexican fare—because sometimes your body needs a break from tacos al pastor (just sometimes).
The dress code? Eco-chic. Opt for effortless, beatnik style with high-end flowy pants, breezy linen sets, and preppy cotton shirts. It’s giving modern nomad, but the kind who still orders oat milk lattes.

Mia beach Club Outfit
Mía is where the party starts. Think sultry tropical style, sheer tops, and colorful prints. Swimsuits are essential for a spontaneous pool dip. Keep footwear practical enough to take you through till the early hours—strappy sandals or stylish slides.
Don't miss Mía's mystical sunset parties, a multi-sensory experience with live tribal, electronic, and acoustic performances.

Styling tips for Tulum’s climate:
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.
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’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.
