Tulum is one of my favorite places to travel to. My first visit there was about five years ago and I was in awe of the beauty of the beaches. The white sand and the clear deep turquoise and blue water feel heavenly.
However, the more I visit, the more I have fallen in love with its holistic vibe. Tulum is one of the most spiritual places on earth. It’s a sanctuary of natural energy. Lots of people travel as far as Bali, Morocco, Peru, and Ibiza each year for spiritual healing – but I love to travel to Tulum. It’s full of rejuvenating yoga classes, healthy cuisine, gifted healers and wellness retreats.
You could go for a week without wearing shoes. The energy is insane. It’s like a healing vortex. It is my happy place and just what I needed for my birthday.
When visiting Tulum, I highly recommend adding the following places to your itinerary:
La Zebra Beach Club
I visited La Zebra as part of the beach club, not a guest. It was the perfect choice. I was overwhelmed with beach club choices, as there are a lot in Tulum. I’m happy that I made a good one. It costs 500 pesos to enter, which goes towards your food and beverage minimum. The cost gives you access to sunbeds, towels, showers and restroom facilities. It is a beachfront property, the food is delicious, and the cocktails were great as well. We went on a Tuesday, so the cocktails were BOGO free! It was a very happy birthday for me, hahaha!
La Popular at NÔMADE Tulum
I hosted my birthday dinner at La Popular and it was beyond amazing! La Popular is an open-air beachfront restaurant. The seating is Moroccan style, which I loved, and the food was delicious. The atmosphere is amazing, just what I was looking for, nice music, sand in my feet, and relaxation. La Popular is a bit pricey, so keep that in mind, but it is perfect for a special occasion when you want to splurge a bit.
Holistika Tulum
No trip to Tulum is complete without fitness and wellness. I know most people love running on the beach – but I am not a runner, despite my attempts. I’ll run if a dog is chasing me, but that is about it. Holistika is a boutique hotel and wellness center which includes yoga classes with incredible healers, sound healing, meditation, shopping, and even a treehouse if you need some time alone. The pool is amazing – it looks like a dream. Holistika is the ultimate location to destress, heal, explore and reflect.
