La Zebra

La Zebra Tulum: Day Beds, Mexican Food and Live Salsa

This beachfront hotel and club sits at Km 8.2 on Carretera Tulum–Boca Paila. Thatched parasols and day beds line the sand in front of an open-air Mexican restaurant and bar. Wooden walkways connect the beach with the hotel, pools and garden areas. The venue draws couples, groups and families rather than operating as a late-night dance club. Weekends are more social, while the regular programme centers on dining, beach time and live music.

The property offers two beach-club experiences. The main club focuses on Mexican coastal food and day beds with food and drink credit. Lula now called La Zebra Mediterranean adds a Mediterranean menu and a livelier social setting, with higher entry minimums. A beachfront sports bar screens games, while a separate cocktail programme has included the New York-based Mulberry Project. Rooftop and jungle pools, a yoga shala and treatment spaces sit elsewhere within the hotel.

Day-Bed Rates and What the Beach Package Includes

A day bed costs 1,400 MXN per person. Of that amount, 1,300 MXN becomes credit for food and drinks during the visit. The package also includes a sunbed, towel, parking and access to hotel facilities. The standard option belongs to the main club, where Mexican food and cocktails are served beside the beach. Reserve in advance when you want a specific date or plan to visit on a busy weekend.

Children under 12 receive complimentary beach access, and the venue has a beachside jungle-gym playground for ages 4 to 12. The programme stays active without turning the daytime space into a late-night party room. For families, this is one of the more practical beach days on the hotel strip. Pets are not allowed at the hotel.

Mexican Coastal Cooking and an Eight-Seat Chef's Table

Executive Chef Eleazar Bonilla leads a menu built around Mexican coastal cooking. Ceviche, handmade tacos and regional seafood are recurring anchors, with produce sourced locally and from the hotel garden. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at the open-air restaurant facing the sea. Guests can also eat from oversized cushions on the beach. The Chef's Table seats eight people for an eight-course tasting menu prepared in view of the group.

The Mediterranean side of the food programme covers wood-fired pizza, fresh pasta and shareable mezze. Craft cocktails sit alongside margaritas and mezcalitas, with a two-for-one happy-hour promotion on both drinks. The beachfront bar serves throughout the day and into the evening. Private dinners can also be arranged on the beach. Restaurant tables and beach-club day beds both accept advance reservations.

Sunday Salsa and Weekend Music on the Beach

Sunday brings a weekly salsa night with live Latin bands and dancing by the beach. Weekend programming also includes live music and DJ sessions, so these periods have more activity than a standard beach day. The venue has taken part in the Art With Me festival and has hosted concerts, line dancing and pool events. A June 2026 country-music weekend featured CJ Garton, while a four-day Super Bowl programme combined game screenings, DJs and pool parties. These special events vary, but Sunday salsa remains the regular weekly fixture.

Rooms, Pools and Wellness Beyond the Day Beds

The hotel has beachfront rooms, sea-view rooms, garden rooms, jungle rooms, casitas, suites and private villas. Several ground-floor suites and penthouses have plunge pools, while larger configurations sleep families and groups. Rooms are designed without televisions, keeping the focus on the beach and shared spaces. The property also has rooftop and jungle pools for different settings away from the sand. Wellness facilities include a beachfront yoga shala, ocean-view massages, botanical treatments, movement sessions, sound work and breath practices.

Hours, Location and How to Reserve

The venue is in the Hotel Zone at Km 8.2 on Carretera Tulum–Boca Paila. Breakfast runs from 7:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Lunch is served from noon to 5:30 PM, followed by dinner from 6:30 PM to 10 PM. The bar operates from 7:30 AM to 11 PM. Parking is available, and included with the day-bed package.

Book your La Zebra Tulum day bed or restaurant table through this venue page on Tulum Bible. Choose a day bed when you want a reserved place on the sand with food and drink credit. Reserve a restaurant table when the meal is the focus of the visit. Sunday is the date to choose for the recurring salsa programme, while weekends generally have a more social atmosphere. Confirm the booking type before arrival because restaurant reservations and day-bed reservations are separate.
