The Best Adults Only Resorts in Tulum (2024)

Introduction

Nestled along the Caribbean coastline, just 2 hours south of Cancun, Tulum has become one of the hottest beach destinations in Mexico, offering white sand beaches, ancient Mayan ruins, cenotes (natural sinkholes), yoga retreats, boutique hotels, with an upscale, yet laid-back vibe. Not to mention, home to some of the best adults only resorts in Tulum!

Tulum has emerged as an ideal adults only vacation spot for those seeking a relaxing, romantic, or secluded getaway. Lacking big chain resorts – with the exception of Secrets Tulum Resort & Beach Club – you can expect to stay in smaller boutique hotels with a focus on eco-friendliness and wellness, with countless trendy restaurants and bars.

While there are many hotels in Tulum that promote themselves as “adults only“, do be wary. They may look trendy and boutique, however they lack the customer service and amenities that match their price tag. I even found a resort that claimed to be adults only, however they allow children in their only on-site restaurant. That same resort had reviews from past guests highlighting that children were in fact staying there as well. You have been warned!

With that being said, Tulum is a fantastic destination for an adults only escape, you just have to know where to look! Keep reading for my top picks for the best adults only resorts in Tulum.
