More than a wedding day, a wedding weekend
Most venues in Tulum give you an evening. 16Tulum gives you the whole stay. The estate is privately booked for your group only: no other guests, no shared spaces, no strangers walking past your ceremony. Your family and closest friends live on site, and the celebration starts with the first welcome drink and ends with a slow breakfast by the pool.
The estate sits in La Veleta, on a paved road, about ten minutes from the beach, with gardens, a 60-ft pool, a rooftop fire lounge and a speakeasy bar ready to be styled around your vision.
Is 16Tulum the right place for your wedding?
It is a great fit if…
- You want your closest people under one roof for several days, not just one night.
- You are planning an intimate wedding or micro-wedding, from an elopement for two up to 120 guests.
- You want full privacy and a design-led setting rather than a hotel ballroom.
- You like the idea of a welcome dinner, a wedding day and a pool day, all in the same place.
It is probably not the one if…
- Your guest list is well over 120 people.
- You are dreaming of a ceremony directly on the sand. We are in the jungle side of Tulum, a short drive from the beach.
- You want the dance floor open until sunrise. Events run from 11:00 to 23:00, then quiet hours begin.
- You would rather organise everything alone. Weddings here are coordinated with a professional planner, and we are happy to introduce you to one.
