Insider Tips for Tulum
Unlock exclusive insights and curated knowledge from local experts to elevate your Tulum experience
Zamna
Zamna Tulum is one of the world’s most iconic electronic music venues – a jungle stage surrounded by cenotes, hosting a season of headline shows and festivals every year. From New Year’s Eve to label takeovers and superstar DJ nights, tickets and VIP tables regularly sell out weeks in advance. If you want the full experience – fast entry, prime viewing areas and hosted tables – Zamna Tulum reservations should be secured early through trusted channels.
Day Zero
Day Zero Tulum is Damian Lazarus’ legendary one-night festival deep in the Mayan jungle – a fusion of music, performance and mysticism that runs from sunset to sunrise. With limited capacity, immersive production and a global following, Day Zero Tulum tickets often sell out quickly. Planning ahead is essential if you want stress-free entry, good positioning in the dance areas and time to arrange transport and accommodation around the event.

Ikal Beach
Ikal Beach is where Tulum’s spiritual heart meets the sea.Here, the soundtrack is waves and handpan drums, incense floats on the breeze, and people move slowly – with intention.Mornings begin with beachfront yoga beneath the palms, followed by slow coffee and fresh fruit while the Caribbean glows a soft turquoise in front of you. During the day, Ikal becomes a sanctuary of presence and grounding – hammocks in the shade, barefoot walks on the sand, quiet journaling with your toes in the water.For those seeking deeper work, Ikal hosts Temazcal ceremonies, sound healings and moon gatherings that honor Mayan traditions. It’s not about the party here – it’s about resetting your nervous system, reconnecting with yourself, and feeling truly held by the jungle and the ocean at the same time.Cloud 9 can secure front-row daybeds, yoga class reservations, Temazcal spots and transport, so all you have to do is arrive and drop in.
Cenotes in Tulum
Tulum is built on a limestone jungle that hides one of Mexico’s greatest treasures: cenotes – crystal-clear freshwater pools formed over thousands of years. Swimming in them feels like entering another world: cool, blue water; jungle vines hanging overhead; rays of light cutting through the depths.Around Tulum you’ll find:Open cenotes – sun-drenched blue lagoons perfect for floating, snorkeling and photos.Semi-open cenotes – caves with skylights where beams of light hit the water like spotlights.Closed cave cenotes – otherworldly chambers for silent swims, freediving and ceremony.For many travelers, the “must experience” on a Tulum trip is Cenote Ik Kil – often called the jewel of the Yucatán. A lush, circular sinkhole draped in vines and hanging roots, Ik Kil feels like a natural cathedral. It’s ideal as a day trip from Tulum, especially when paired with Chichén Itzá or Valladolid. Platforms for jumping, clear deep water and dramatic light make it unforgettable.Cloud 9 can curate a private cenote route for you – from secret, less-crowded spots near Tulum to a guided day trip to Ik Kil, complete with transport, skip-the-line entry, towels, lunch stops and a photographer if you wish.
