Kanan Beachclub

Kanan Beachclub Tulum: A Treehouse Built Beside the Sand

This adults-only venue is part of a boutique hotel and spa at Km 7.5 on Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila. Hand-carved tropical wood shapes the buildings, raised paths and rope bridges. Woven nests sit above the property, while beach beds, cabanas and loungers face the sea below. Sand, wood and existing plants run through the design rather than being confined to one garden area. The hand-woven nests and linked paths make the architecture the strongest reason to choose this beach club over a standard row of loungers.

The beach area includes sunbeds, panoramic cabanas and private nests for couples or groups. A central open-air pool adds another place to spend the day, and the property also has bars, restaurants and an on-site spa. Seating ranges from shaded spots on the sand to raised wooden decks. Pet-friendly spaces are available within the venue. The layout lets guests move between the beach, pool, dining areas and suspended structures without leaving the property.

Beach Beds, Pool Time and Live DJ Sessions

The day starts with lounging and food by the water, then becomes more social when the music programme begins. Live DJs play house-led sets, with Afro House, Deep House, Organic House and Melodic Techno among the recurring styles. The programme has included Beach Sessions, Sunset Sessions, Reset Sundays and Tu Brunch. Soft house and chill beats also feature during lower-key daytime periods. Guests looking for a quiet beach day should check the event calendar before choosing a date, as music can run across the venue during DJ sessions.

The crowd is adults only, with couples, groups of friends and hotel guests sharing the beach and pool areas. Clothing is informal, and there is no strict dress code. The atmosphere changes most during scheduled parties and late-afternoon sets, when dancing and cocktails become a larger part of the visit. Special events may require a cover even though regular access does not. This mix of daytime lounging and programmed music places the venue between quieter Tulum beach clubs and the early side of Tulum nightlife.

Organic Mexican Food, Seafood and Craft Cocktails

The beachfront restaurant serves organic Mexican cooking with coastal ingredients and references to Mayan food traditions. The selection includes Caribbean-style ceviches, fresh seafood, handmade tacos, pasta and vegan options. Breakfast is also served on the property for guests who arrive early. Craft cocktails are available from the beach club bars and accompany the daytime menu. Food is served beside the beach rather than being limited to a separate formal dining room.

Other dining and drinking spaces continue through the property. The 360-degree rooftop serves international flavours with smoky Mexican notes and has nests overlooking the sea and tree canopy. Karma covers three levels, from an underground speakeasy-style lounge to a main floor and nests near the treetops. Its pool is heated and finished with natural red stone pigments. These spaces host dinners, cocktails and evening events outside the regular rhythm of the beach beds.

Brunches, Full Moon Dinners and House Music Events

Recurring programming includes live DJ beach sessions, rooftop sunset events, brunches and full moon dinners. The 2026 calendar has also included beach parties, live music, salsa nights and electronic sets across the property. Some programmes begin during the day, while others continue into dinner or move to the rooftop and indoor spaces. Full moon and holiday dinners place more emphasis on food, while beach sessions centre on DJs, drinks and socialising. Dates and formats change, so the calendar is useful when deciding between a relaxed day and a music-led visit.

Regular entry has no minimum consumption, but a cover may apply during special events. This is different from the historical minimum-spend arrangements sometimes associated with beach beds and cabanas. The current access policy allows guests to order food and drinks without meeting a fixed regular minimum. Reserved beds, cabanas and private nests still depend on availability. Check the event details before reserving because ticketed programmes can follow different access terms.

Visit Daily at Km 7.5 in the Hotel Zone

The beach club is open daily from 8 AM to 6 PM. It sits at Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila Km 7.5, within the southern part of the Hotel Zone near the Sian Ka’an gateway. The property is adults only, including its beach and pool areas. Regular access has no minimum consumption, and cover charges apply only to special events. Reserve a bed, cabana, nest or table through the Kanan Beachclub Tulum page on Tulum Bible.

Choose a regular daytime date for beach beds, the pool and lunch with lower-key music. Check the schedule first if you want a brunch, full moon dinner, rooftop session or DJ-led afternoon. Guests staying at the hotel can also use its treehouse rooms, oceanfront rooms and suites, while day visitors remain within the public beach club and dining areas. Pet-friendly spaces are available, but the adults-only policy still applies to guests. Book through Tulum Bible once you have chosen the date and seating area that fit your visit.
