Tulum isn’t just a vacation—it’s an experience, a frequency, a whole vibe waiting for you to tap in. Between the lush jungle energy, the sacred Mayan history, and the kind of luxury that speaks to your soul, this is the place to recharge, realign, and remind yourself exactly who you are. And let’s be real—when you travel, you don’t just want to show up. You want to arrive, take up space, and indulge in a curated experience that aligns with your next-level self.
That’s why I’ve got you covered with the ultimate Tulum guide—Black-owned, Black-friendly, and absolutely dripping in the kind of energy that elevates your spirit and feeds your soul. Let’s get into it.
Stay: Where Your Energy Feels At Home
Hotel Bardo
If luxury and peace had a love child, it would be Hotel Bardo. Tucked away in the jungle but still close enough to Tulum’s buzzing social scene, this boutique stay is the definition of tranquility meets opulence. Think: private plunge pools, minimalist yet lush decor, and a vibe that makes you want to sip mezcal and journal about your divine purpose. You can start your day with morning yoga, spend your afternoon floating in your personal pool, and wrap up your night with a fire ceremony under the stars.
✨ Pro Tip: Book one of their private villas for the full immersive experience. You deserve it.
Dine: Black-Owned & Black-Friendly Culinary Experiences
Because good food is a non-negotiable, and we’re not about to play when it comes to our palate. Here’s where you’ll want to pull up and indulge:
Che’z Cocco
Owned by a powerhouse Afro-Mexican woman, this vibrant brunch spot serves up soulful dishes with a side of Black joy. Whether you’re in the mood for a rich café de olla or fresh ceviche with a Caribbean twist, this is the spot to fuel up before a day of exploring.
Boho Vegano
Plant-based foodies, rejoice! Turner Francis curated this gem to serve up flavorful vegan dishes that don’t compromise on taste or indulgence. Whether you’re in the mood for jackfruit tacos or a coconut milk latte, your taste buds will thank you.
Casa Maria Mexican Grill
Located at Hotel Bardo, this isn’t just another Mexican restaurant—it’s an experience. Think handcrafted cocktails, fresh local ingredients, and a setting so dreamy you’ll forget to check your phone (which is saying something).
Connect: Black in Tulum—Your People Are Here
Tulum is magical, but finding your tribe while traveling? Even better. Black In Tulum is the first BIPOC collective designed to bring together travelers who want community, culture, and curated experiences. They host everything from day parties to networking mixers, so whether you’re here to turn up or tap in, you’ll find your people.
✨ Pro Tip: Follow them before your trip so you don’t miss out on exclusive events.
Explore: For the Culture, For the Soul
Mayan Ruins
Because we don’t just vacation—we honor the land. The Tulum ruins sit dramatically on a cliff overlooking the ocean, offering breathtaking views and a deep connection to the ancestors who came before us. Walk the ancient paths, take in the energy, and remember: you are part of something greater.
Cenotes
Natural sinkholes filled with crystal-clear water, cenotes are sacred to the Mayans and feel like stepping into another world. Whether you choose a lively, open-air cenote or a mystical underground one, the experience is spiritual, healing, and a must-do.
Tulum’s Beaches
White sand, turquoise waters, and a backdrop that makes you question if you ever really need to leave. Whether you’re lounging at a beachfront club or taking a solo sunrise stroll, the beaches here will have you feeling like the main character in your own movie.
Luxury Travel Tips: Because Your Experience Matters
✔ Book in advance. Tulum is hot (literally and figuratively), and the best spots fill up quickly. Secure your reservations early.
✔ Pack with intention. Think flowy linen fits, bold swimwear, and sandals that transition from beach to brunch effortlessly.
✔ Engage with the culture. Support local businesses, tip generously, and be mindful of the land and its history.
✔ Tap into the vibe. Whether it’s a sound bath, a dance class, or simply watching the sunset with a cocktail in hand, make time to be present.
Tulum is more than a destination—it’s an energy shift, a divine playground, and an invitation to live fully. Whether you’re here for deep rest, high vibes, or a little bit of both, know this: you deserve every ounce of luxury, joy, and abundance that comes your way. Now go—book that trip, step into your power, and let Tulum remind you exactly who the hell you are.
