If the heat has you daydreaming about white-sand beaches like those in the Caribbean but you think you can’t afford the plane ticket, all you need is money for gas—because there’s a beach very close to Buenos Aires that looks just like Tulum on the Riviera Maya. Luckily for you, this Caribbean-style beach is less than an hour from the Obelisk.
So if you’re looking for a weekend getaway to escape the city without having to pack heavy suitcases or spend money on flights, this is Buenos Aires’ best-kept secret.
Tribu Eco Beach: the Caribbean just a stone’s throw from General Paz
Located in the heart of Francisco Álvarez, there’s a boutique cabin complex that perfectly understands what we porteños need: a break from the routine with a white-sand beach that reminds us we don’t need to go to the Caribbean to enjoy summer. It’s called Tribu Eco Beach, and as soon as you walk through the door, the noise of the suburbs fades away, giving way to a spacious garden, palm trees, and architecture designed for relaxation.
The place is run by its owners, Quique and Andrea, who’ve achieved something nearly impossible: maintaining a perfect 5.0-star rating in their reviews through personalized service and an intimate, diverse, and LGBTQ+-friendly atmosphere.
A year-round pool less than an hour from Buenos Aires
The main draw of this getaway is the pool, which is open year-round. It’s surrounded by perfect spots to curl up with a book, sip some mate, or simply do nothing.
It also has cabins equipped with everything you need so you don’t have to leave the grounds: they offer free Wi-Fi (in case you want to work from home while in paradise) and private parking. It’s the perfect setting for a romantic getaway or a weekend away from the digital world.
Since it’s an exclusive resort with such personalized service, spots fill up fast (especially as spring and summer approach). The best thing to do is contact them directly via WhatsApp to lock in your date well in advance. Bring a good book, some snacks for sunset, and get ready for your friends to ask how you managed to travel to the Riviera Maya.
