About Papaya Playa Project
Papaya Playa Project is the venue that defined Tulum's international party reputation. This beachfront complex of palapa structures, fire pits and open-air dance floors is most famous for its legendary Full Moon Party, a monthly event that fills the beach with thousands of electronic music devotees dancing until sunrise. The venue's ability to combine natural beauty — the beach, the stars, the surrounding jungle — with world-class DJ bookings has set the template for the Tulum nightlife experience.
History
Papaya Playa Project opened in 2011 as Tulum's beach hotel zone was beginning its transformation from backpacker destination to international luxury retreat. The Full Moon Party, now a monthly institution, was among the first events to broadcast Tulum's party credentials to a global audience.
