Tulum Spring Break 2025

Spring Break 2025 in Tulum! 🌴 A week of pool days, beach days, a boat day we will never forget, cenotes, ruins and a whole lot of family time.

Welcome to Tulum

We kicked things off with a big family dinner, then it was straight to the pool. Floaties, sun hats and ocean views: the kids were in heaven from day one.

Pool Days and Ocean Views

The pool sat right on the edge of the Caribbean, so we bounced between pool floats and the waves all day long.

Beach Day

Soft white sand, warm turquoise water and the girls jumping in the waves. Plus a few very important beach photo shoots.

Van naps, silly faces and some great home-cooked dinners together.

Boat Day!

One of the best days of the trip. We loaded everyone onto the boat and headed out across that unreal blue water.

Jumping In and Snorkeling

Life jackets on and off the side of the boat! The kids jumped, snorkeled and floated on the big water mat for hours.

The Whole Crew

Sun, smiles and a whole lot of cousins-style hugs on the deck.

Cruising the Caribbean

We soaked up every last minute on the water before heading back in, with one big group photo on the bow.

Cenote Adventure

We swam in a crystal-clear cenote, the famous freshwater caves of the Yucatán, then chilled in hammocks in the jungle.

Beach Club and Angel Wings

A lazy afternoon at the beach club, and everyone had to get their turn in front of the blue angel wings.

Tulum Ruins and Town

We explored the Mayan ruins on the cliffs above the sea, then wandered through town for treats and fun photo spots.

Last Swims

One more round in the waves and one more swim in the pool before saying goodbye. What a spring break!
