How does it actually work?

You pick the group that fits you on this website, click the WhatsApp button, send us a message, and within 48 hours (usually the same day) a real person adds you to the right WhatsApp community. That's it. No apps to download, no login, no fees.

Yes. Joining any Tulum People Club group is 100 percent free. We do not sell your number, we do not spam the chat, we do not run ads inside the groups.

Can I join more than one group?

Absolutely. If you're a digital nomad who swims the cenotes at dawn and hits the beach clubs on Fridays, join the Nomads, Cenote Swims and Beach Club Social groups. Most members are in 2 to 4 groups.

What's the group size? Won't it be spammy?

Each group stays under 250 members with active moderation. Anyone posting promo, crypto, or off-topic links gets removed. The chat is for members, by members.

I'm only in Tulum for 5 days. Worth joining?

That's exactly why Tourists - 10 Days exists. You get a welcome dinner, airport-pickup carpools, and a dozen locals telling you the real spots within hours of landing.

I don't have WhatsApp. Another option?

WhatsApp is how Tulum actually runs - taxis, cenote tours, bike rentals, doctors - everything. If you're in Tulum it's the one app to install. If you really can't, message us from the contact page and we'll figure something out.

Are these groups safe? Vetted?

Every new member sends one intro message before being added - 1 photo, first name, where you're from, which group you want. We remove anyone flagged for harassment or scams. We're a community of travellers, not a business directory.

Tulum People Club is run by long-term Tulum residents and travellers who believe nobody should stay alone here. We're a brand-new community, built by the same small team behind other city-based WhatsApp communities, now doing the same thing for Tulum. It's a labor of love, not a company.

About this group

Farm-to-table jungle kitchens, mezcal flights, market runs.

The crew that plans the day around the next meal - and cares where it came from. Jungle tasting menus, live-fire kitchens, the weekend organic market in La Veleta, mezcal tastings, and the never-ending debate over the best taco stand in Centro.

Group vibe

Curious, generous with recommendations, always hungry. LinkedIn-adjacent but with better food.
