If you want an easy cheat sheet to the best places in Tulum for taking amazing photos, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve been to Tulum several times now (I currently am living 45 minutes away), so have been to the “Tulum Instagram Famous” places, the local secrets, and then some I have discovered some of the best Tulum photo spots on my own!

Tulum Beach Bar mylifesamovie.com

While I’m happy to make your life easier and photography dreams come true, PLEASE remember a few things!

Please be courteous of the environment and locals on your search for the best Tulum photo spots. If you take Tulum pictures somewhere that is part of a business, at least buy something there if you can. DO NOT leave any trash whatsoever and be aware that for Tulum to exist, it had to sacrifice A LOT of mangroves and wild life!

I’d highly suggest reading my Ultimate Tulum (Stress Free) Guide as well. It has everything you need to know to plan your trip, plus information about “Greenwashing” and essential safety tips! I’d also recommend my entire ’15 Crucial Playa/Tulum Safety Tips’ before you go as well!

Last, if you enjoyed this post, please Pin it on Pinterest or share it on social media, it will really help me out! If you go to any of these spots, please also use my tag #MyLifesATravelMovie, so I can show you some love on social!

Alright, now here are the best places in Tulum for taking epic Tulum pictures!

Giant Tree Man at Ahau – The Most Popular of Tulum Photo Spots

best photo spots tulum giant tree statue

Arguably the most iconic, trendy photo spot in Tulum right now is with this giant head statue! It was actually made for an art exhibit but it was so popular that Ahau Resort bought it for decoration!

Now there is almost always a line of fashionably-dressed photo-seekers waiting for their banger shot with the big head since it is such a popular Tulum Instagram destination! If you take a photo here, be sure to meander inside to Ahau’s beach club, and have a drink in exchange for taking your photo!

‘Follow That Dream’ Sign

follow that dream sign tulum

There are lots of life-inspiring street signs in Tulum thanks to the many artists there, but the ‘Follow that Dream’ one is by far the most popular for Tulum pictures!

It’s located just outside of Lolita Lolita, literally on the side of the road. That being said, be VERY careful when taking photos there! It may be one of the best places in Tulum for classic Tulum pictures, but it’s right by a busy road. In fact, I’d suggest going around 9am or earlier to avoid traffic, and have better lighting!

I Love Tulum So Matcha Sign

tulum matcha sign mylifesamovie.com

Just up the road from the sign above, is Matcha Mama; a tiny little smoothie, juice, and health food shop! It’s better known though for it’s Instagramable set up out front though, making it one of the best places in Tulum for a cute photo!

There are two swings at their bar, and a surfboard with the words “I love Tulum so Matcha” painted on it. If you snap a pic, be sure to at least buy a cup of matcha!

Wedding Dress Curtain at Casa Malca

Spoiler alert: This photo op is strictly for guests only, or “approved influencers,” so be sure to plan ahead if you want to use it for your Tulum Instagram pictures.

Casa Malca is notorious drug lord Pablo Escobar’s former residence (imagine that, he had the ONLY mansion ON Tulum Beach). It has since been converted into a posh hotel, restaurant, and beach club, all of which are extremely exclusive.

The famous Wedding Dress Curtain you see on Instagram can only be accessed by guests staying the night there and the nightly price is close to a hefty $700 USD!

You can, however, go to the beach club (with a minimum spending limit) or book a reservation at their restaurant! And don’t worry: there are plenty of other hotels to stay at in Tulum that are more affordable than this location.

Booking.com

Giant Hand at Hun Tulum

Spoiler Alert: Guests Only or “Approved Influencers,” so again: plan those Tulum pictures ahead.

There’s a giant wooden hand that stretches out over the jungle at Hun Tulum hotel. Unfortunately, you can only go see it if you’re staying at the hotel, or if you’re an influencer who got approved to visit.

The good news is that if you DO want to stay there, it’s only about $200 USD per night. Which, is relatively “affordable” in Tulum.

Clan Destino Cenote-Bar

There’s a :gasp: FREE cenote you can visit right off the main beach road in Tulum! It has a bar/restaurant built around it (win), and even a cute little swing over it for cute Tulum pictures (double win)!

Sadly the storm made it poo-brown when I was there in September, but if you visit later on, be sure to check in to see if it’s back to pretty blue! Hopefully you get better Tulum Instagram photos here than I could.

Azulik

A post shared by AZULIK™ (@azulik) on

Spoiler Alert: guests only, influencers must apply (OR pay to go to their restaurant/beach club)

Azulik is personally at the top of my list for places I want to photograph! However, to get inside the actual nest-like rooms, you need to be a guest (or apply as an influencer). Unlike some of the other resorts that are somewhat doable, Azulik is currently a whopping $1,000 USD per night! Unless you have that type of cash flow, you better up your Insta game!

There are however, public accessible areas of Azulik that you can check out. They have a gallery, shops, and a spa you can visit, and you can also reserve a table at one of their restaurants.

They have a beach club, but the minimum spending limit there is $80… and that’s likely in low season 😉

Holistika

A post shared by Holistika Tulum (@holistikatulum) on

Holistika is a yoga and meditation center that is open and welcoming to the public! It’s located in the Downtown area (away from the beach), and has several beautiful areas to take photos!

‘Tulum’ Swing Sign – Newest Tulum Photo Spot

ultimate tulum guide

This brand new art installation is right on the side of the road, about five minutes or so before you reach downtown Tulum! Even though it’s newer, it definitely makes it on the list for best places in Tulum to take photos. It’s actually part of a (very photogenic) Cerveceria, so if you stop to take a pic, at least also grab a small bite or drink!

Dos Ciebos Beach Club

Mexico Safety Tips mylifesamovie.com

We found this beach club on accident, when we were just trying to find a free entry to the Tulum Beach. As I have mentioned several times, beach access is surprisingly limited, and you typically must enter through a hotel. The only problem is that many of them charge a fee to access their beach clubs…

This one was FREE though! And actually super cute with its swings, and Bali-esque beach umbrellas! I got a few great Tulum Instagram pictures here.

Amansala Beach Club

Tulum Beach

Tulum photo spots

When your searching for the best places in Tulum for a photo shoot, don’t forget to take photos on the actual beach in Tulum! Tulum Beach is one of the most beautiful ones in the area thanks to the turquoise blue Caribbean water and soft white sand!

Depending on the weather, you can walk up and down the entire beach, which is lined with beach clubs, hotels, and resorts of all calibers!

The tricky part is finding a public entrance to Tulum Beach. Most hotels have walls out front to keep them secluded to guests, while others will allow you through to access their beach clubs!

Playa Paraiso

playa paraiso

Playa Paraiso is more of a public beach area, with a lot more sand-space as well, so it’s great for Tulum pictures. It’s to the left on the main road that goes towards the beach, and the road is a lot narrower. There’s also less hotels, restaurants, and beach clubs (only the beach side of the road has them), which is kind of nice!

Here you can find the boats to take you to see the Tulum Ruins (by boat) and snorkeling tours! There’s also a restaurant here I really like called Villa Pescadores!

Tulum Ruins – Essential Tulum Photo Spot

Dos Ojos Cenote

best Tulum photo spots dos ojos
Oh ya, cenotes are so pretty when it’s a pic of a girl sitting near it…meanwhile, she almost drowns in it twice.

Although I almost died (exaggerating) scuba diving in Dos Ojos (I had a panic attack in an underwater cave tunnel), it’s still a nice place for photos. It’s just east of Tulum, so good to visit either on your way there, leaving, or simply as a day trip!

Secret Tip: the road that Dos Ojos is on, has several other lesser-known cenotes as well! If you want to avoid crowds or the typical Tulum Instagram photo, try to check some of those out as well! You may even find the one below!

Secret Cenote – Most Rare Tulum Photo Spot

I’ve been asked by the tour company who took me here not to publicly disclose the name of this glorious cenote. But I can tell you it’s one of the most breath-taking ones I’ve seen since you can see the limestone rocks in the water!

It’s actually located in a traditional Mayan village, and its entrance is a mere hole in the ground that is completely unassuming! You even have to take a staircase down into it!

If you’d like to experience this secret cenote, please book a tour with Turismo Channel! They’ll guide your right to one of the most amazing Tulum photo spots ever and even take all of your photos for you!

Gran Cenote

Gran Cenote is another one of the most famous/popular cenotes in the area. It’s just north of Tulum, towards Coba. I haven’t been, but I know it’s a lot bigger than most cenotes I’ve seen, and also a lot pricier! I believe they wanted $30 USD for entry!

If you do go here, I’d recommend going early in the morning to beat the crowds!

Boho Hammocks and Swings

best tulum photo spots

You don’t even need to search hard for boho hammocks or swings, because they are everywhere you look in Tulum! And I’m not mad about it either, since they definitely create some of the best places in Tulum to snap a good photo!

Nearly every Beach Club has these boho-chic pieces of furniture, so just meander around and you’re sure to find some!

For specific places I went to with them, check out Amansala for their black boho pool side hammocks, and Dos Ceibas beach club for their bar swings!

(Or you can always snag your own boho hammock and create your own Tulum photo spots because why not?)

Tulum Food Trucks

TUlum Food Trucks

I’d never ever take a photo with a truck…unless it was a food truck. For some reason they are just so freaking cute! There is a small area of food trucks right next to Matcha Mama, and they serve pretty good food! Even vegan tacos!

BUT. Of course since it’s Tulum Beach, even the food trucks are wicked expensive!

Playa Ruinas Snorkeling

bast Tulum photo spots Tulum ruins

As I mentioned above, you can take a boat from Playa Paraiso to Playa Ruinas (the beach just below the ruins). But, right now, you are not allowed to go on the actual beach. When I was there three years ago, you could, and therefore it was packed. So maybe that’s why you’re no longer allowed on it!

It’s still very beautiful to see from the boat though, and is still one of the best Tulum photo spots! And your guide will give you an intriguing explanation about the purposes the ancients ruins held!

Then you’ll go further out to snorkel around the second largest barrier reef in the world! Be sure to come prepared with your own snorkel gear if you don’t want to rent it.

Spoiler alert: Sadly most of the coral is bleached or dead due to both global warming and ocean waste (likely from the hotels dumping your waste into the underground river system). You will likely see sting rays but it’s because the boat drivers feed them!

  • I was one of the last foreigners permitted in Virunga National Park in D.R. Congo before it was closed due to many armed and dangerous groups occupying it. That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times). But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans. Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer. Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another. If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this. That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please. So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not. And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡 The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories! I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back. Napenda Congo 🇨🇩💖
  • The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful! Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬
  • The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.! (Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!) What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo?? Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!
  • Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??
  • Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??

That experience was one of the most memorable ones in my life, and part of why I’ll always say DRC is one of my favorite destinations I’ve been to (4 times). But DRC is also one of the most corrupt countries, with some of the most horrific ongoing atrocities committed on the local Congolese people, the environment, and the animals by greedy, heartless humans. Deforestation, illegal mining for minerals used to make your electronics, and destruction (plus human abuse) are a part of why the animals there suffer. Poaching for bushmeat and to steal baby primates to sell as pets is another. If you’ve ever seen a primate, especially chimpanzees, kept as a personal pet or on display, its parents were likely killed so it could be kidnapped. UAE and Gulf countries, Thailand, China, Eastern EU countries, and even people in the USA are all guilty of this. That’s why one of the organizations I’ve become an ambassador for in D.R.Congo is @lwiro_primates . Lwiro Primates take in injured, abandoned, and smuggled primates, and they rehabilitate and care for them, even during a time when their own homeland is a very scary please. So I am kindly asking today on World Giving Day for Apes, to send them a donation, or at least share their story or the info in this post. Anything helps, nothing does not. And if you ever see a chimp as a pet, please ask the owner if they’re aware that its parents were likely killed just for it to be kidnapped and forced to be a pet. 😡 The link to the fundraiser is on Lwiro’s page and I’ll share on my Stories! I’ve brought about 100 travelers to D.R.Congo, and they all can attest to what a beautiful and unique place it is. I pray and dream for the day that we can safely return there and bring tourism back.

The highlight reel of Skardu, Pakistan! If you'd like the behind the scenes, see my previous posts or the story highlight! But also, yes, it really is this beautiful! Do you like pretty highlight reels or do you prefer the struggle clips? Asking for a friend...who has a lot of both... 😬

The Photo VS the Moment in Skardu, Pakistan (wait for the videos after the photo) for anyone who thinks getting photos is easy, behold, freezing water, climbing on rocks, and magical geese who apparently want to be featured in the pics.! (Comment "Skardu" and ill DM you my full travel guide plus how to get notifications for the group trip next year!) What's the wildest thing you've done for a photo?? Thank you Destination Pakistan for the offer to work together and for helping get this footage so I didn't have to always use my tripod or selfie stick!

Just confirming that Haveli restaurant has the best rooftop view in Lahore! Make a reservation because it's always busy and ask to sit closest to the mosque! The entire building of Haveli is beautiful and fascinating! A former mansion that's ornately decorated, and located in an area that was formerly infamous for..brothels! Now, largely thanks to tourism demand, this area of Lahore is a lot cleaner and safer than it used to be, and it offers some of the most spectacular sites to see, both from above and below! What would you rate this view from 1 to 10??

Made it to Skardu without any flight issues! Flights to and from the mountain region of Pakistan have a pretty high rate of cancellation due to unpredictable weather... And speaking of unpredictable weather, the reports said it would be really cold, but it was warm, so i "had to" go shopping for shalwar kameez as soon as I arrived 😍 Then it was off to the Shangri La Lake for some pink tea before making the drive to Shigar cold desert for a sunset horseback riding session, before settling into a beautiful riverfront boutique resort! Everyone says you have to go to the northern mountains of Pakistan, and now I see why! This place is magical and I only have a few days to explore! PS did you know that this region has the highest number of world's tallest mountain peaks, it has has both deserts and lakes at extremely high altitudes, and also the largest glaciers in the world aside from the polar regions?? More coming soon! Do you want to visit Skardu??
