Private event venue in Tulum

Birthdays, family reunions and trips with friends

Yes: Ambre et Epices Villa Riad, in La Veleta, Tulum, is rented as a whole to one group, sleeps 16 guests in 8 suites with 8 bathrooms, and keeps one house rule for every celebration: music stops at 11 p.m.

A private chef cooks at the house, and two pools and a rooftop give the group room to gather. There is no reception desk and no room-by-room booking. The rule exists because La Veleta is a residential neighborhood. For guests who join a party without staying overnight, ask us.

A birthday in Tulum, with the whole house to yourselves

A milestone birthday, an engagement or a reason to gather: 16 friends or relatives under one roof, for a weekend or a week. The chef plans the birthday dinner with you and serves it at the house. Our Villa Ambassador books restaurants and beach clubs for the other days.

Family reunions: every generation under one roof

Everyone sleeps in the same house, and no one runs the kitchen. The private chef builds the menus around your family: allergies, the cousin who does not eat meat, the dishes your parents ask for every year. A security team is on site around the clock.

A trip with friends: eight suites, eight bathrooms

Every suite has its own bathroom, so no one waits in line at 7 a.m. Two pools, a rooftop and several lounges give 16 people room to spread out. A generator covers power cuts, and the Villa Ambassador arranges airport transfers.

House rules: music, hours and neighbors

Music stops at 11 p.m., because La Veleta is a residential neighborhood. The rule is the same for every group. A DJ needs the management’s approval, agreed before your dates.

After 11 p.m., dinner, the pools and conversation go on quietly. If the plan is to dance until 2 a.m., this is not the right house, and we would rather tell you now.

Beds, children and grandparents

Each suite has one king-size bed, so 16 guests means two per bed: easy for couples, less so for adult siblings or friends.

Extra beds, cribs, children’s ages, a suite for a grandparent who would rather avoid stairs: we do not publish these yet. Send us your group’s ages and needs and we will answer for your dates.

Your vendors or ours

The house has its own private chef, who cooks Moroccan and Mexican food and builds the menus with you. For an outside caterer, decorator, photographer or DJ, tell us who you have in mind.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can stay at the villa?

Sixteen guests, in 8 suites with 8 bathrooms. Each suite has one king-size bed, so 16 means two people per bed. Ambre et Epices Villa Riad is rented as a whole to one group. For party guests who do not sleep at the house, ask us.

Can we bring children?

Ask us with their ages. We do not publish a policy on children, extra beds or cribs yet, so we answer each group for its dates. Tell us how many children are coming, how old they are and how they sleep.

How much does it cost to rent the villa for a family reunion?

It depends on your dates and the services you choose: we quote for your group. The total for a whole villa in Tulum usually combines the nights, lodging taxes, the chef and groceries, and housekeeping. Compare totals, not nightly rates, and ask about the deposit and cancellation terms.

Can we play music after 11 p.m.?

No. Music stops at 11 p.m. at Ambre Epices, because La Veleta is a residential neighborhood. A DJ needs the management’s approval. After 11 p.m., dinner, the pools and conversation carry on quietly. A group that wants to dance late will be happier at a party venue.

Is the villa on the beach?

No. Ambre Epices is in La Veleta, on the jungle side of Tulum, with shade, quiet and two private pools at the house. Tulum International Airport (TQO) is about 45 minutes by road without traffic, measured on September 11, 2026. Ask us how your group will get to the beach.
