Top Kid-Friendly Beach Clubs
La Zebra + Lula (Hotel + Beach Club)
Beach Day at La Zebra
La Zebra is a staple for a reason. It is located on a wide, beautiful stretch of beach with plenty of space. The vibe is lively but grounded, and they are incredibly welcoming to families. Plus, the food is consistently some of the best on the beach strip. La Zebra has an amazing kids menu and little playground that is always a hit and easy parking.
If you are staying at the hotel, the first floor rooms of La Zebra have plunge pools and there is a pool on the second floor of the restaurant.
Lula is now a part of La Zebra and you can enjoy all of the amenities of both hotels. They are right next to each other.
Ana y Jose (Hotel + Beach Club)
A total win for parents. This spot features a dedicated playground, which is a rare find on the Tulum sand. It allows the little ones to burn off energy in a contained area while you enjoy the ocean breeze. It’s one of the most established spots in town and truly understands family hospitality. They also have a parking lot.
Ikal (Hotel + Beach Club)
Located near the ruins in the National Park area, Ikal has a much more relaxed, community-focused energy. It’s great for families who want a bohemian vibe without the heavy party scene. They often have a dedicated kids' program and activities that keep the little ones engaged with nature and art. They have a super kid friendly pool and kiddos will easily find friends to play with.
Mahayana & Zorba Beach Homes (Hotel)
If you prefer a "home base" feel, these private villas are unmatched. They offer a more intimate, boutique experience right on the water.
Note: While these are stunning private villas, keep in mind they do not have an on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner, so you’ll want to stock the kitchen or plan for nearby deliveries.
Tips for staying in Town in Tulum:
While the beach is the main draw, staying in the Tulum Town (Pueblo) area—specifically Aldea Zama—is a game changer for families.
Why Aldea Zama? It is currently the only fully walkable, pedestrian-focused neighborhood in Tulum. If you want to avoid the traffic of the main beach road and have the ability to walk to cafes, parks, and shops without a car, this is the place to be. It’s modern, paved (rare for Tulum!), and much easier to navigate with kids. It is about a 15-20min drive to the beach clubs mentioned above.
