Lula Tulum: Mediterranean Dining on La Zebra Beach
La Zebra Mediterranean, known to regulars as Lula, is the Mediterranean-focused kitchen inside La Zebra Hotel at Carretera Tulum-Boca Paila Km 8.2, in the Zona Hotelera. It sits directly on the sand, in a covered open-air room with breezy seating and ocean views. This is a separate concept from La Zebra's main Mexican menu next door — the kitchen here works Mediterranean formats with local Caribbean and Mexican ingredients. The room is barefoot-chic and social rather than formal, and you do not need to be a hotel guest to eat here.
Live music and weekend events keep the atmosphere lively without tipping into a party scene. The crowd runs to couples, adult social groups and families, and the setting is family-friendly, with a jungle-gym play area set between the beach and the restaurant. Children under 12 enter the beach club for free.
The Menu: Wood-Fired Pizza, Pasta and Caribbean Seafood
The kitchen builds around handcrafted pastas, wood-fired pizzas, shareable mezze platters and large loaded salads. Grilled local fish and Caribbean seafood anchor the mains, alongside ceviches and tacos. Vegetarian options are on the menu.
The bar programme includes craft cocktails plus guided tequila and mezcal flights, cocktail workshops and regional Mexican wine tastings. For a longer meal, the Chef's Table is an eight-course tasting menu paired with regional spirits and beverages, hosted for up to four guests over about three and a half hours.
Beach Club Day Passes and Facilities
The Mediterranean concept doubles as a beach club with daybeds, sun loungers, swimming pools and a beach bar. A sunbed or cabana reservation costs 1,400 MXN per person, of which 1,300 MXN comes back as a food and beverage credit. The pass includes access to the rooftop pool, showers, the on-site sports bar and parking. Outside food and drinks are not permitted, and children under 12 enter free.
Hours, Parking and How to Book
The Mediterranean venue serves daily from 11:00 AM to 6:45 PM, while La Zebra's overall food and beverage runs from breakfast at 7:30 AM through dinner ending at 10:00 PM. Free parking and valet are both available, and dogs are not allowed. The venue takes reservations and is good for groups, so booking ahead is worth it on weekends when live music draws a crowd. Reserve your table or a beach club day pass through the Lula Tulum page on Tulum Bible.
