Tulum’s famed Beach Road is far more than wellness and enlightenment fueled by post-yoga mimosas, beachfront cocktails, and after-dinner, starlit walks home.
This tiny stretch of coastline, only 7.5 km long, (roughly 4.6 miles), has quickly become the go-to destination for a rejuvenating beauty getaway. Here, you’ll find every beach goddess’ must-haves and beauty secrets hidden deep within the mangrove heart of the Riviera Maya.
One of the Tulum temples of beauty we like is Lolita-Lolita Tulum.
Beauty is Beyond Skin Deep at Lolita-Lolita
Lolita-Lolita Tulum is an integral concept of beauty that goes beyond skin deep. This is a space where beauty begins from what we take into our bodies, starting with a cup of coffee.
Her petite figure and girlish grin immediately bring to mind Nabokov’s muse, who inspired the brand name. However, when you hear her deep, sultry voice, which is like spicy Mexican chocolate, you will hang on to every word this modern siren has to share.
The inspiration for the Lolita-Lolita brand comes from her grandmother, who grew up in the countryside of central Mexico, where homemade natural remedies were passed down from one generation to another. Lolita Lolita learned to make body lotion, shampoo, and conditioner from her aunt, who learned from her mother.
Lolita welcomes clients as often as possible because she appreciates personal contact with customers. She will gladly sit with a client over a cup of Chiapas coffee to talk about life, love, and current affairs.
Lolita-Lolita Tulum is a unique line of skincare products and resort wear to stimulate the senses for both women and men. Under the palapa thatched roof, the shop is filled with body creams, candles, soaps, and oils made from the finest ingredients by local artisan hands. Its fashion line features seductive swimwear, lingerie, and beachwear, and its body care line is an aromatic symphony with notes of rosemary, lavender, and spices that will transport you back to Tulum once you’re back home.
A participant in New York’s Fashion Week, L+L has already opened up to larger enterprises that go beyond the beauty shop in the jungle, such as the Tulum Tree House project, which unites exceptional international design, artisanal traditions, and craftsmanship of the Yucatan region.

How to Get There
Head east towards Tulum Beach Road and turn right after the first four ephemeral signs asking “If, Not, Now, When?”. Keep heading south well beyond the fifth marker, reminding you to “Stay Present” until you reach the one telling you to “Follow That Dream” next to the Mexican flag waving right at Lolita’s door.
If you stay near Nomade, Be Tulum or Suenos Tulum, you’re only a hop, skip, and mojito away.
