At Zorba, we specialize in hosting families and groups. This is why we put together a list of our top travel tips to help you plan your group holiday in Tulum, Mexico:

  1. Stay directly on the beach. Location. Location. Location. As with any destination, where you stay in Tulum is extremely important. A central location makes group travel easy and stress-free because you are already in the area you want to explore. There are no logistics when going to the beach; you walk out your door. Our beachfront property is centrally located in the famous Tulum area with private access to the sea.

  2. Book direct. Booking direct not only saves you booking fees, but also gives you a better travel experience. The Zorba reservations and concierge team can assist you every step of the way. We will help you select the best villa, arrange private group airport transportation, and coordinate private chef services during your stay. From the moment you reach out to us 'till we say goodbye at the end of your stay, you are in good hands.

  3. Plan. There is an abundance of incredible candle-lit, creative, world-class dining experiences with cocktails and menus to tantalize the senses—all just steps from our villas. Nu restaurant (very close to Zorba) continues to win accolades for its elevated Mexican Cuisine, and Nomade, Acra, and Hartwood are also nearby.



4. Book a Private Chef Service. Want to spend a night in and soak up the beach and the stars? Our private chef services are an excellent choice for that special dinner with your group. Our chef partners will plan, prepare, and serve an incredible multi-course Mayan and Mexican meal under the stars on our handmade table by the beach. For a full Mexican experience, our concierge can also arrange for a Mariachi band to play some music and, of course, a birthday cake.

5. Leave time to relax. While a certain amount of planning is great, it is also important to soak up the beauty of the beach and sea without an agenda.



Once you are on the beach, you will indeed arrive at your destination.

Travelling with a group is about creating shared experiences. Ask us about private yoga classes, cenote excursions, and other activities to enhance your stay.

Group travel is a chance to honor our closest friends and family, celebrate life's generosity, and gather meaningfully. Let us help you make your next trip both memorable and magical. When you are ready to plan your get-a-way, don't hesitate to get in touch with us at reservations@zorbatulum.com
