Dune Boutique Hotel

Dune Boutique Hotel sits right on the sand at km 7 of the Tulum to Boca Paila road, in the busy stretch of the hotel zone with beach clubs within walking distance. It is adults only, with rooms running from top-floor Superior rooms to an oceanfront Master Suite and rooms with their own mini pool.

This is a small, social place rather than a secluded estate, which suits couples who want a beach wedding and a lively Tulum weekend in one. Weddings are planned mainly for guests staying at the hotel, so the celebration feels like a house party on the shore. Ask the team for the total room count.

There are two settings. The beach takes ceremonies for around 50 to 60 guests, and the Ocean View Rooftop holds up to 35 and can be hired exclusively for the ceremony and the party. Elopements for two to ten people are offered too, and a Mayan ceremony is available as a symbolic ritual.

There are two packages, Gourmet and Premium, for groups from 25 guests, covering planning, setup, music, a three-course dinner and four hours of open bar. Events usually run from 6pm to 10pm, with an extra hour possible for a fee. Beach permits or fees may apply. Ask the team about legal ceremonies.

Weddings here are built around guests staying on site, so ask the team how many rooms your group can hold and which hotels nearby they suggest for the overflow. Room types include pool-view rooms, rooms with a mini pool and the oceanfront Master Suite.

The days around the wedding are easy to fill: daily yoga on the Dune Terrace, temazcal and moon ceremonies, cenote trips, Mayan dinners, tequila and mezcal tastings and treatments at the open-air beach spa. The team also points guests to the Mayan ruins and the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve. The hotel does not publish airport drive times, so ask the team about transfers.
