Tulum Gay Map

Red Room is Tulum's one and only dedicated gay bar, a small, dark, red-lit club in the heart of downtown near the Avenida Tulum and Cobá intersection. It leans bold and sensual, with drag and burlesque shows, shirtless bar staff, strong cocktails, and late-night energy on a compact dance floor.

La Guarida is a cozy, creative café-bar and cultural space in the heart of Tulum Town, a homely spot that feels like a little bar in Barcelona dropped into the Caribbean, with a rooftop terrace, mezcal and house-made rum, vinyl nights, live jazz, folk and blues bands, screenings, workshops and board games. It isn't a dedicated gay bar, but it's well loved by Tulum's LGBTQ+ community and gay-friendly by reputation, drawing a genuinely mixed, no-dress-code crowd of artists, digital nomads, locals and travelers, where it's easy to strike up a conversation (and the odd flirt) when the live bands get into the groove.

Loba is a male-only gay hotel located in the sophisticated Aldea Zamá neighborhood. Designed especially to stimulate your senses in a sensual way, this 8-room hotel offers harmonious architecture with a tropical atmosphere.

Enjoy a private room with a super comfortable king-size bed in a small clothing-optional boutique hotel. Meet other guests from all over the world and enjoy the amenities that Loba has for you.

Panza, set inside the lush Aflora Tulum community in Aldea Zama, is a stylish and welcoming restaurant serving delicious contemporary cuisine and creative drinks in a relaxed jungle atmosphere, beautiful by day and intimate once the sun sets. Its all-day brunch and upscale dinners are a genuine Tulum highlight, thoughtfully done with plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free options and famously warm, attentive service, with a garden pool you can enjoy with a minimum spend.

Gitano is Tulum's iconic jungle mezcal bar and restaurant, a canopy of trees, disco ball and candlelight that's become the unofficial anchor of the town's LGBTQ+-friendly nightlife. Warm to all couples, it pairs mezcal cocktails and Mexican dining with its famous Gypsy Disco DJ nights, which turn genuinely dancey (and a little glittery) by Tulum standards, especially on Thursdays.

Located on the outskirts of Tulum, on the road to Chetumal, the Kinich restaurant offers authentic, traditional Mayan cuisine based on chaya (local spinach), Dutch cheese or bitter orange. The kitchen and dining room staff are all Mayan.

Holistika is a jungle wellness hotel and community center just outside Tulum Town, and its restaurant, Restaurante Tierra, is a destination in its own right, open to guests and visitors alike. Set among lush gardens, murals and the property's famous Art Walk, it serves some of the best plant-based food in Tulum: fresh, colorful, nourishing vegan and vegetarian dishes that reviewers repeatedly rank as the best they've had anywhere, and, in a town of eye-watering prices, at a fraction of what you'd pay elsewhere.
