Soak up the sun at a brand new beach club

Eva Beach House is bringing a blissful slice of Tulum’s sandy shores to a sun-drenched seaside spot within The Club.

Or, make the most of the final few weeks of alfresco dining with a table on the sprawling terrace, set under the shade of a bright white macrame canopy. Those looking to spend the day topping up their tans can perch up on one of Eva Beach House’s plush sun loungers, shaded by parasols, or enjoy a VIP day in one of their luxe cabanas.
