About Buuts’ Ha’ Cenote Club

Buuts’ Ha’ Cenote Club is a cutting-edge open-air “day club” built around a natural cenote in the jungle near Tulum, Quintana Roo (edm.com) (traveltimes.com.mx). Its name comes from the Mayan words buuts’ (“smoke”) and ha’ (“water”), reflecting a theme of elemental purification (buuts-ha.com). Conceived and launched in 2022 by local hotelier Simón Campos, Buuts’ Ha’ was designed to let visitors enjoy a cenote “longer than just a few hours” (traveltimes.com.mx) (www.ticketfairy.com). The founder’s vision was to combine the “luxury and comfort of a 5-star hotel” with the mystical, wild essence of a jungle cenote (traveltimes.com.mx). In practice, that means a high-end resort feel (king-size beds, A/C, gourmet food) built in complete harmony with nature (traveltimes.com.mx) (traveltimes.com.mx). Travel media hail Buuts’ Ha’ as “the only cenote club of its kind” – a dazzling open-air party venue set in the rainforest (edm.com) (www.ticketfairy.com).

The club occupies a portion of the Casa Tortuga resort complex. Its centerpiece is a crystal-clear cenote pool surrounded by a sandy “beach” and palm-thatched pergolas. There’s even a small river-rock swimming pool and 13-story stilted hotel rooms around the water (www.ticketfairy.com) (traveltimes.com.mx). The architecture leans on local materials – palapa roofing, chukum plaster walls and imported Caribbean sand – giving guests a feeling of staying in a luxury palapa-style cabin (traveltimes.com.mx). Giant palm-frond “hand” sculptures at the entrance reinforce the Mayan spiritual vibe. From the outset, Campos invested heavily in sustainability – roughly 25% of the project budget went to eco-friendly infrastructure like water recycling and solar systems (traveltimes.com.mx) – so the club operates with minimal impact on the cenote and jungle.

Buuts’ Ha’ holds only a few hundred people at full capacity (www.ticketfairy.com), making each party feel intimate rather than overcrowded. The property is pet-friendly, welcoming even dogs into its lounges (buuts-ha.com). Since its opening, Buuts’ Ha’ has added a unique new chapter to Tulum’s scene – blending electronic music with the region’s wellness culture. It opened to help revive post-pandemic tourism by giving people a reason to spend extended time in a cenote, expanding beyond mere sightseeing (traveltimes.com.mx). In short, Buuts’ Ha’ matters because it represents a novel fusion of nature, luxury and Maya-inspired ceremony in the Riviera Maya – the world’s first and only nightclub built inside a cenote (edm.com) (buuts-ha.com).

Events and Programming

Buuts’ Ha’ hosts music and events almost every day (www.ticketfairy.com). On a typical weekend, you’ll find DJs spinning house, techno, deep house and melodic sets from late morning through the evening (www.ticketfairy.com). The club routinely features the hottest local talent alongside occasional international guests. Past lineups have included well-known names in the Mexican electronic scene – for example, DJs like Karen Echev, Carlo Cobos and Roman Smitarello have played here (www.ticketfairy.com). The musical focus is broad but centered on electronic dance genres, making this a haven for fans of techno, deep and melodic house.

Alongside nighttime parties, Buuts’ Ha’ emphasizes wellness and variety. Morning yoga or meditation classes often precede the music sets, and personalized spa sessions are available in the afternoon (www.ticketfairy.com). Special festival weekends break the routine: for instance, in 2023 the club hosted a sunset concert by the Venezuelan band Los Amigos Invisibles (www.ticketfairy.com). There have also been themed events like big-screen film nights or live sports watch parties in the DJ zone (www.ticketfairy.com). In practice, the weekly calendar is fluid: parties typically kick off around 11:00 AM and run until roughly 11:00 PM (www.ticketfairy.com) (though headline events often go later). In summary, Buuts’ Ha’ blends daytime cenote lounging (with music) and late-night dancing, so you can start with a poolside session at dawn and keep partying under the stars (www.ticketfairy.com).

Tickets and Booking

Ticket prices vary widely by day and event. A standard day pass (including cenote access) is generally quite affordable – around MXN $500–$600 (≈$25–$30 USD) (www.ticketfairy.com). For bigger headline DJ nights or full-day festivals, prices are higher (roughly MXN $1,000–2,000, or $50–$100) (www.ticketfairy.com). For example, one recent flyer listed general admission at MXN $990 (with a local-resident discount at MXN $495) (www.ticketfairy.com). VIP and table packages cost much more: an open-bar upgrade is on the order of MXN $2,500 for a few hours, and booking a private cabana for 10 people can easily reach ~MXN $26,500 (www.ticketfairy.com). These packages typically require a deposit (often ~50%) when reserving in advance.

Tickets are usually sold online through Buuts’ Ha’ official channels or via affiliated promoters. It’s recommended to buy them in advance, since popular shows can sell out (www.ticketfairy.com). The club also maintains a mailing list and social media where it posts lineup announcements and presale codes. If you choose to buy at the door, arrive early – there can be lines, and latecomers may find tickets gone. In all cases, have a government ID ready at entry (the venue is strictly 18+ (www.ticketfairy.com)) and pay attention to the terms (like no re-entry or 18+ rules). Cash (Mexican pesos) or credit card are accepted, but some guests find it convenient to carry pesos for faster bar service. For groups, Buuts’ Ha’ handles VIP/cabana reservations via WhatsApp or email contact; check the website for details. In brief, plan ahead and secure tickets or tables early for high-demand nights (www.ticketfairy.com).

Seating and Layout

Buuts’ Ha’ has an informal, open layout rather than fixed rows of seats (www.ticketfairy.com). The centerpiece is the sandy Beach Zone around the cenote, where guests freely spread out. You’ll see people lounging on provided sunbeds or even dancing waist-deep in the cenote water (www.ticketfairy.com). Along the perimeter are a few elevated VIP cabanas and reserved booths – these are booked by groups and include dedicated service (www.ticketfairy.com). The palapa-covered restaurant bar is along one side, with communal tables and stools on a wooden deck. On the opposite side is the Mystic Zone, a shaded area with hammocks and hanging netbeds for relaxing away from the music (www.ticketfairy.com). Because the club is general admission (with only some cabanas reserved), there really aren’t any “bad” seats. You can claim a lounger next to the DJ stage for full immersion, or higher up on the decks if you want a breeze and a broader view.

In effect the sound and lighting design create a natural 360° amphitheater. Large speakers are positioned around the cenote, so the thickest bass hits on the dance-floor sand where the DJ sits (www.ticketfairy.com). As you move to the upper decks or Mystic lounge, you get softer sound – perfect for conversation. The layout means everyone is roughly centered around the action, providing a wrap-around party vibe (www.ticketfairy.com). When choosing your spot, think about your priorities: front and center for full-on raving, or shaded and up high to relax. In any case, the views of the jungle night sky and the illuminated cenote ensure a memorable experience from wherever you stand.

Getting There and Parking

Buuts’ Ha’ is located on the Carretera Federal 307 (Cancún–Tulum highway) in the Balam Canché area, just a few kilometers south of Tulum town (www.ticketfairy.com). For navigation, the club’s Google Plus Code is 7JM3+XF, Tulum – entering this in maps will take you to the site. There is no local metro or public train, and tourist buses don’t stop directly at the club. Most visitors travel from Tulum by taxi or colectivo (shared van) (www.ticketfairy.com). (Note: Uber/Lyft do not typically serve this remote highway stretch (www.ticketfairy.com).) If you arrive by taxi from Tulum center, expect a fare in the MXN $150–200 range. From the airport or Playa del Carmen, the easiest route is usually a private shuttle or ADO bus into Tulum, then switch to a taxi/colectivo for the last 10 minutes.

On the highway, keep an eye out for small signs pointing to “Buuts’ Ha’ Cenote Club” near the Casa Tortuga entrance (www.ticketfairy.com). The club provides a small free parking lot and some shoulder parking along the road. Spaces can fill up quickly on busy party weekends. Arrive by noon for day events to secure a spot – we recommend parking in the lot or a designated spot rather than the highway edge. (As one visitor tip warns, parking is free but limited – arriving early guarantees a spot (www.ticketfairy.com).) If the lot is full, some guests park briefly on the shoulder off the road. In any case, allow time to find parking and walk in; it can get congested on event days.

Inside the Venue

Once inside Buuts’ Ha’, expect a relaxed jungle-party atmosphere (www.ticketfairy.com). At the gate, staff will verify your ticket and official photo ID (the club is strictly 18+) (www.ticketfairy.com), then hand out a wristband for entry. Bags may be quickly checked for glass or prohibited items. Beyond the entrance, guests disperse across the sandy dance floor or step into the cool cenote between sets. The main restaurant and bar remain open all day: the menu features tropical-fusion dishes (tacos, grilled seafood, ceviche) made with fresh local ingredients (www.ticketfairy.com). Reviewers praise the food and the inventive cocktails – one called it “delicious food and cocktails” in the jungle setting. There are two bars (one by the water and one near the kitchen); prices are on par with other upscale Tulum spots. You can pay cash or card.

Your day-pass includes complimentary towels and life vests (www.ticketfairy.com), and lockers are available for your belongings. Shower stations let you rinse off after swimming in the cenote. A small boutique shop on-site sells essentials like reef-safe sunscreen, flip-flops and souvenirs (www.ticketfairy.com). Note that cell phone service is weak under the trees and Wi-Fi is not guaranteed (www.ticketfairy.com), so plan accordingly (you may want to take only necessary gadgets into the jungle). The dress code is very casual – bathing suits, bright tank tops, and shorts are the norm (www.ticketfairy.com) (no need for fancy attire or shoes, as you’ll be on sand and in water). Photography with phones or small cameras is allowed, but drones or professional cameras should be cleared by staff first (www.ticketfairy.com).

Finally, Buuts’ Ha’ is equipped for a true nightclub production. The speaker and lighting system are top-of-the-line, projecting deep bass and colorful beams through the jungle. One visiting DJ remarked that playing here felt like “performing in a jungle Disneyland.” (www.ticketfairy.com) The effect is indeed otherworldly – palm trees and the cenote glow under lasers and strobe lights, so even between dances you’ll get immersed in the scene. In all, inside the venue you’ll find a self-contained oasis: bar/restaurant, stage, chill zones, and amenities spread out in a way that feels open and organic to the environment.

Nearby Amenities

The immediate area around Buuts’ Ha’ is mostly undeveloped jungle. There are only a few small convenience stands within a 5-minute drive for snacks or basic supplies (www.ticketfairy.com). To get a fuller selection of restaurants and services, you’ll need to head into Tulum’s town center, about 10–15 minutes north by car. Tulum’s Aldea Zama neighborhood and 5th Avenue offer a wide variety of eateries – from casual taco joints and pizza places to sushi and upscale lounges (www.ticketfairy.com). If you’d like to enjoy a meal or drinks by the beach after the event, famous beach road spots like Ziggy’s or La Zebra (a few minutes farther north) serve fresh seafood and cocktails with ocean views (www.ticketfairy.com). A little closer at hand, OXXO convenience stores on the Tulum road can supply ice, water, snacks or phone top-ups if needed.

Since Buuts’ Ha’ shares its grounds with the Casa Tortuga resort, many visitors take advantage of the other cenotes there (www.ticketfairy.com). It’s common to buy a combination ticket that includes Buuts’ Ha’ access plus swimming at nearby Cenote Casa Tortuga (a street-accessible cenote on the same property). This way you can sunbathe, swim or kayak in the other crystal pools before or after your party. For lodging, besides the 13-room hotel on-site (traveltimes.com.mx), most guests stay in Tulum proper or along the beach road. Notably, a luxury Kimpton (Hilton brand) resort just opened on Tankah Bay ~10 km north, and many boutique hotels dot both downtown and playa areas. If you plan a late night, bear in mind that regular public transit runs until about 10 PM; after that most guests take taxi/Vans back to town or simply stay at one of the nearby hotels (some even recognize night-drinking guests and advise locking in rides in advance) (www.ticketfairy.com).

What Makes This Venue Special

Buuts’ Ha’ stands out for its once-in-the-world combination: it is literally the only nightclub built around a cenote (edm.com). The centerpiece is a natural sinkhole pool, and the entire club is woven into the jungle landscape. This creates a mystical atmosphere few outdoor venues can match. The fusion of Mayan spirituality (“smoke” + “water”) with modern dance music is unique (buuts-ha.com) (traveltimes.com.mx). Guests often say dancing surrounded by trees under the open sky has an almost spiritual energy. There’s nothing quite like swimming between DJ sets or feeling the warm tropical air bathe you as dawn breaks – it’s easy to see why the place feels special.

Architecturally and culturally, Buuts’ Ha’ reflects thoughtful design and heritage. The structures use indigenous motifs – for instance, the fan-shaped layout of the hotel rooms and thatched palms evoke traditional Maya communal spaces (traveltimes.com.mx). Palm “hand” sculptures and wooden hammocks highlight the natural theme. The founders explicitly call it a portal between material and spiritual worlds (traveltimes.com.mx). Some know Buuts’ Ha’ as a forerunner of Tulum’s eco-luxe trend: it’s called “a dazzling open-air venue” by EDM media (edm.com), (www.ticketfairy.com) and has helped define the region’s reputation for upscale mindfulness tourism. Musically, it has created a pedigree too: bringing acts like Los Amigos Invisibles into the jungle only adds to the lore. As one DJ summed up, playing here feels like “a jungle Disneyland” – combining artistry, light, and nature (www.ticketfairy.com). In short, Buuts’ Ha’ is special for its scenery, its concept and its immersive shows; it has become a landmark where artists and audiences love to gather.

Visitor Tips and Information

Age and ID: Buuts’ Ha’ is strictly 18 and over. You will need a valid photo ID at the gate (www.ticketfairy.com). Keep it handy to avoid delays.

What to Bring: Swimwear is appropriate attire – many guests go barefoot or in flip-flops and swim gear (www.ticketfairy.com). Sunscreen (preferably reef-safe), sunglasses, and a hat are wise since you’ll start in daytime sun. Towels and life vests are provided free with a day pass (www.ticketfairy.com), but feel free to bring personal items like waterproof phone cases or water shoes if you have them. Cash is useful (bars accept pesos or card), and a portable charger is handy given the weak cell signal (www.ticketfairy.com).

Parking & Arrival: If driving, arrive as close to opening (11 AM) as possible. Parking is free but very limited (www.ticketfairy.com). Early arrival means an easier time finding a spot and claiming a good lounge chair. Conversely, expect a line to enter on peak hours and late afternoons. Check the weather – the club operates rain or shine under cover (www.ticketfairy.com), so a little rain won’t cancel a party. However, avoid slick shoes as the ground can get muddy after heavy rain.

Rules & Conduct: Respect the eco-friendly focus. Don’t bring glass bottles or excessive single-use plastics; staff may inspect bags for safety. Little children are not permitted due to the 18+ rule. Bring only small cameras or phones for photos; drones and professional cameras require permission (www.ticketfairy.com). The atmosphere is casual and open – you can freely swim in the cenote or relax in hammocks – but remember it’s a party environment. Leave valuables in lockers. Tipping bartenders and servers is customary if they give good service.

Transportation & Lodging: Taxis from Tulum run often, but Uber/Lyft won’t reach the highway location (www.ticketfairy.com). A taxi from central Tulum costs roughly MXN $150–200 one-way. Car pooling (colectivos) is common to save money. If you plan to stay late, note that ADO buses and colectivos stop around 10 PM (www.ticketfairy.com), so arrange a return ride or hotel night in advance. Cell service is patchy on-site, so coordinate transportation details before you arrive. Nearby hotels (like the new Kimpton or Tulum town inns) can be useful for afterparty rest.

Insider Tips: Follow the club on social media or sign up for its newsletter to learn about events and special offers. Sometimes locals get discounted tickets or last-minute specials. Consider combining your visit with the other cenotes at Casa Tortuga on the same grounds – many visitors buy a joint pass if they plan to swim around afterward. During any downtime, mingle with local artists or yoga instructors; the community here often shares live music schedules and behind-the-scenes stories. Finally, remember the club’s ethos: it’s a place to "relax your soul," so dive into the cenote, dance under the stars, and enjoy the fusion of culture and party in true Tulum style (buuts-ha.com) (traveltimes.com.mx).

Frequently Asked Questions

Buuts' Ha' is an 18+ venue. All guests must present a valid government-issued photo ID upon entry. Security checks your ticket and ID at the gate, then gives you a wristband. No minors are allowed. (This strict age policy is common for nightclubs in Tulum (www.ticketfairy.com).) Plan accordingly: young adults should bring passports or driver’s licenses to avoid delays.

What should I wear or bring to Buuts' Ha'?

Dress very casually. Swimwear (bathing suits, rashguards, boardshorts) is perfectly fine, as is beach-style footwear like flip-flops or sandals (www.ticketfairy.com). It’s an open-air cenote environment, so expect to get wet. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat since you’ll spend time in the sun. Towels and life vests for swimming are provided with entry (www.ticketfairy.com). You may also want a small lock for a locker, cash for bars, and a waterproof pouch for your phone (there’s minimal shade or secure storage in the club).

How do I get to Buuts' Ha' Cenote Club and where can I park?

Buuts’ Ha’ sits on Highway 307 at Balam Canché, just south of Tulum. If driving, plug in the plus-code 7JM3+XF (Tulum) to your GPS. Take a taxi or colectivo from downtown Tulum (Uber/Lyft typically won’t pick you up out here) (www.ticketfairy.com). Follow the signs for Casa Tortuga. The club has a small free parking lot plus shoulder parking; however spots fill up fast on busy days. Arriving by noon is best to ensure parking (www.ticketfairy.com). After parking, you’ll take a short walk to the club entrance.

Are there any VIP or reserved seating options?

Yes. Besides general admission on the sandy floor, Buuts’ Ha’ has a few reserve-only areas. These include raised VIP cabanas and private booths lining the edges of the venue (www.ticketfairy.com). Booking a VIP cabana or table typically requires an advance reservation and hefty payment (for example, one recent table for 10 people was ~MXN $26,500 (www.ticketfairy.com)). These come with dedicated server service and more privacy. All non-reserved spots are first-come on day-of, so claim a sunbed or lounge spot early in the day if you want a good view.

Can I swim in the cenote during my visit?

Absolutely. Swimming is one of the highlights. In fact, many people dance in the water or lounge waist-deep in the cenote (www.ticketfairy.com). Buuts’ Ha’ provides free life vests with day passes (www.ticketfairy.com). The water is clear and cool. Lifeguards are on duty, but always use caution like you would at any pool (especially after drinking). Don’t wear street clothes/jeans in the water; swimwear is expected.

What food and drink options are available inside the club?

The club features a full restaurant and bar open all day. Expect a tropical fusion menu with items like tacos, ceviche, grilled seafood, and more (www.ticketfairy.com). The kitchen uses local ingredients, and they offer vegetarian/vegan options. There are two bars (one poolside and one at the kitchen), serving cocktails, beers and non-alcoholics. Prices are similar to mid/high-end Tulum spots – for example, cocktails cost roughly the same as at a nearby beach club. You can pay by pesos or card (www.ticketfairy.com). You may want to bring cash if you plan on heavy drinking, as machines can be busy at peak times.

Can I bring food, drinks, or outside entertainment?

As a club, Buuts’ Ha’ generally does not allow outside alcohol or catering. Your entry ticket includes cenote access and basic amenities; the on-site restaurant/bar provides food and drinks. Bringing a reusable water bottle may be okay, but glass bottles or coolers are likely prohibited and will be checked at the gate. Likewise, personal speakers/music are not allowed – the club’s sound system provides all the music. Small snacks (fruit, protein bars) are fine, but plan to buy most refreshments inside.

What happens if it rains?

Buuts’ Ha’ operates rain or shine (www.ticketfairy.com). The club has covered areas (like the palapa and some cabanas) so light rain usually won’t stop a scheduled event. Unless it’s a storm warning or severe weather, the party carries on (it’s still a magical experience dancing and swimming in light rain!). That said, heavy tropical storms or lightning will cause management to delay or cancel events. Check the weather forecast, but don’t cancel on a chance of a shower alone.

Is Buuts’ Ha’ wheelchair accessible or friendly to people with mobility issues?

Buuts’ Ha’ is built around a natural outdoor cenote with sand floors, uneven paths and steps (for example to enter the water). It is not designed primarily for wheelchair accessibility. While some flat areas exist, most of the site (sand decks, palapa structures, grass areas) may be challenging. There are no elevators or paved ramps noted in public information. Guests with mobility concerns should contact the club ahead of time to inquire about accommodations. Be prepared that traversing the sandy, jungle terrain may be difficult without assistance.

Are pets allowed at Buuts' Ha'?

Yes. Buuts’ Ha’ is officially pet-friendly (buuts-ha.com). Owners are welcome to bring their dogs, and the venue even promotes that “everyone is welcome, you and your pets can enjoy exclusive spaces.” However, keep pets leashed and be mindful of the party environment. If bringing a dog, also consider the noise, crowds and water – pets should be under control and comfortable in an outdoor setting.

What kind of atmosphere and crowd should I expect?

The vibe is a mix of electronic music culture and tropical relaxation. Expect a young, international crowd interested in dance music and nature. Many guests come for the electronic party scene, but others come for the yoga/meditation and cenote experience, so it’s really a blend. The atmosphere is vibrant and barefoot-casual during the day, and more party-focused at night. Dress is very relaxed (swimwear and festival styles). People are generally friendly and open-minded. Even though it’s a club, the jungle setting makes it feel inspirational and communal rather than hierarchically “VIP only.”

How can I buy tickets or get on the guest list for Buuts' Ha' events?

Tickets are typically sold online. Check Buuts’ Ha’ official channels (website or social media) for links to ticket sellers or newsletters. Some events offer guest-list options through promoters; local party groups on social media are also sources of invites or presale codes. Walk-up tickets at the door are usually sold subject to availability. Because popular shows can sell out, advanced online purchase is safest (www.ticketfairy.com). If you see a promoter party ticket listing (e.g. via local event pages), make sure it’s an official channel to avoid scams. Remember to check any age or residency rules posted for each event.

Are there any good places to eat or stay nearby?

Aside from the club’s own restaurant, options are limited right at Buuts’ Ha’ because it’s in a jungle area. The nearest full-service restaurants are back in Tulum town (~10–15 min away by car) on Aldea Zama or 5th Avenue, which offer a range of cuisines. If you want beach dining, spots on Tulum’s north beach road like Ziggy’s or La Zebra serve seafood and cocktails by the water (www.ticketfairy.com). For sleeping, guests often stay in Tulum (downtown or beachfront) or at nearby hotels. On-site Buuts’ Ha’ does have a 13-room hotel (traveltimes.com.mx). A few minutes north on the coast is the new Kimpton luxury resort. If you plan to party late, booking a hotel or Airbnb nearby can simplify your night (taxi service thins out late) (www.ticketfairy.com).

What's the policy on re-entry or bringing a camera?

Typically, re-entry is not standard practice at clubs like this. If you leave and try to come back, you may be charged a new cover or turned away; tightly confirm the policy on your ticket. Regarding photography: casual snapshots on your phone are fine, and small personal cameras are usually okay. However, professional DSLR cameras or drones usually require permission from management (www.ticketfairy.com). This is to protect both intellectual property of performances and privacy. When in doubt, ask a staff member before taking out a big camera or drone.
