NEST Tulum
A barefoot luxury boutique hotel on Tulum beach, where a beachfront ceremony flows into dinner on the sand, scaling up to 150 guests with its sister restaurant in the jungle.
NEST Tulum is a small design led hotel on the beach in Tulum's hotel zone, the kind of intimate, natural setting that defines the Tulum wedding look, all driftwood, candlelight and ocean. For a wedding it offers a beachfront ceremony and a reception on the terrace or the sand, with the option to grow the celebration by joining its sister restaurant NU Tulum for larger numbers.
It suits a couple who want an intimate, stylish beach wedding rather than a vast resort production, with the flexibility to scale from a villa dinner for thirty up to a party of around 150. Confirm the exact spaces, capacities and the current packages directly with the hotel.
NEST Tulum is a boutique beachfront hotel on Tulum Beach in Quintana Roo, Mexico, known for an intimate, natural style. The Villa by NEST hosts intimate weddings of up to around 30 guests, the wider hotel spaces take up to around 50, and celebrations of up to around 150 run in partnership with its sister restaurant NU Tulum in a jungle setting. Beach ceremonies are symbolic, with the legal marriage handled separately. The dry season from November to April is the prime window. Hire and packages are quoted on application, so confirm spaces, capacities and current pricing directly with the hotel.
Style and setting
NEST Tulum sits directly on the beach in Tulum's hotel zone, a boutique property with a natural, design led look of timber, candlelight and greenery. It is intimate rather than sprawling, which gives a wedding here a private, barefoot feel, with the Caribbean as the backdrop and the jungle a step behind.
Capacity
The Villa by NEST suits intimate weddings of up to around 30 guests with a beach ceremony and a terrace dinner, the wider hotel spaces take up to around 50, and larger celebrations of up to around 150 use the sister restaurant NU Tulum, which begins on the beach at NEST before moving to NU's jungle setting for the reception. Confirm the exact figures for your plan with the hotel.
Ceremony and the celebration
A beachfront ceremony at the water's edge is the signature here, followed by cocktails and a reception on the terrace, the sand or, for larger groups, the jungle setting of NU. The barefoot, candlelit style is what couples come to Tulum for, so the venue leans into an intimate, atmospheric evening rather than a formal ballroom.
What it costs
NEST quotes wedding hire and packages on application rather than at a fixed published rate, and the all in cost depends on the season, the guest count and whether you use the sister restaurant for a larger party, alongside catering, decor and production. Tulum is a premium beach destination in the dry season, so budget accordingly. Treat any figure as indicative and confirm directly with the hotel.
