The Ultimate Bachelorette Checklist for Your Girls Trip to Tulum

1. Before You Book Anything 📆

✔️ Confirm the guest list (who’s 100% in, who’s maybe)
✔️ Set dates early — and be mindful of high season (Dec–Apr)
✔️ Discuss the total budget with the group
✔️ Choose your villa — ideally one with space, privacy & concierge service
✔️ Assign a point person (you?) to coordinate all info
💡 Staying at a villa like Palma Negra makes this 10x easier — concierge included!

2. Where to Stay: Choose Smart 🛏️

✔️ Central location (Aldea Zama = ideal)
✔️ Enough bedrooms for everyone to sleep comfortably
✔️ Pool + chill spaces = must
✔️ Concierge that helps with chef, transport, reservations
✔️ Private & secure (you don’t want party-pooper neighbors)

3. Budget Breakdown (Be Realistic) 💸

Help the group plan ahead. A sample per-person breakdown:
Item Estimated per person:
Villa (4 nights): $600–$900
Flights: $250–$500
Transportation: $50–$100
Food & drinks: $150–$300
Activities (yacht, spa, clubs): $150–$400
Decor & surprises: $50–$100
Tip: Use apps like Splitwise or Tricount to divide costs fairly.

4. What to Pack for Tulum 🧳

✔️ Light dresses, swimsuits, beachwear
✔️ 1–2 themed night outfits
✔️ Sandals, flip flops, no heels (Tulum is sand & jungle!)
✔️ Sunglasses, hat, sunscreen
✔️ Travel-sized bug spray
✔️ Portable phone charger
✔️ Waterproof pouch for cenotes/yacht
✔️ Reusable water bottle (stay hydrated!)
Optional: matching robes, hats, sunglasses, or custom tees!

5. Prep the Fun Stuff 🍾

✔️ Choose a party theme (Pink Disco? Jungle Boho?)
✔️ Create a shared playlist
✔️ Order welcome kits (mini tequilas, hangover kits, eye masks)
✔️ Plan a surprise for the bride (gift, letter circle, toast)
✔️ Book decorations in advance (your concierge can help!)

6. Apps & Tools to Make Your Life Easier 📲

•⁠  ⁠Splitwise – to track expenses
•⁠  ⁠Airalo / Holafly – for data in Mexico
•⁠  ⁠WhatsApp – for group chat + local vendors
•⁠  ⁠Pinterest – for outfit inspo & theme ideas
•⁠  ⁠Spotify – collaborative playlist
•⁠  ⁠Google Sheets – to track who paid what

7. Leave Room for Downtime 🧘

You don’t need to fill every hour. Some of the best moments come from just chilling by the pool, talking, or watching the bride smile. Build in breaks:
•⁠  ⁠Chill brunch mornings
•⁠  ⁠Free afternoon by the pool
•⁠  ⁠Optional activities instead of mandatory ones
•⁠  ⁠Movie night at the villa with snacks & robes

Final Tip: Pick the Right Villa & Let the Concierge Do the Heavy Lifting 🎯

Planning from a distance is hard. But if you choose the right home base — like Palma Negra Villa — you can relax knowing your group has:
•⁠  ⁠A private, stylish space to celebrate
•⁠  ⁠A concierge to coordinate all the extras (chef, DJ, spa, decor)
•⁠  ⁠A team ready to make it all smooth, safe, and beautiful
