The “Wing-Guac” Challenge

A La Zebra tradition

Art on the sand

Our resident artist paints on the beach through the weekend — and the players sign what he makes. Every canvas leaves Tulum one of a kind.

Why La Zebra

Make paradise
your home base

The only snow you’ll see all weekend.

Wake up to the Caribbean instead of a windshield to scrape. Every room and suite sits steps from the sand — and everything below is a short walk from your door.

Add a little adventure

Right on property: Champions Cove, our oceanfront miniature golf course — nine holes between the palms and the Caribbean, and a natural tiebreaker between games.

Beyond the beach: championship golf at PGA Riviera Maya, cenote adventures, deep-sea fishing, and curated spa and wellness packages. Ask the sports concierge about arranging your extras.

All season long

Can’t make it
this weekend?

Don’t worry. The Bills Backers bar keeps every game on the screens all season long — and every other team too. Whoever you root for, there’s a seat, a cold drink and the ocean waiting.
