The Best Beach Clubs on Isla Mujeres (For Every Kind of Vibe)
Whether you're looking to sip cocktails in style, keep the kids entertained, or just chill by the sea without spending a fortune, Isla Mujeres has a beach club for you. Here's a local's take on where to go based on the kind of day you're after.
If You Want a Luxe, Laid-Back Experience
Gurú Beach Club
Located on Playa Norte, Gurú is perfect for adults looking to relax in a peaceful setting. Think cushioned loungers, oceanfront pool, craft cocktails, and no kids running around. It's more upscale but still welcoming.
Zama Beach Club
Tucked away near the marina, Zama offers a more exclusive, high-end vibe. It’s a great choice for a romantic afternoon or a long, slow lunch with a view. Their food is top-notch, and the ambiance is always on point.
If You're Feeling Social and Fun
Areia Beach Club
Right on Playa Norte, Areia draws a younger, lively crowd. It’s upbeat but not overwhelming, with a mix of music, drinks, and people-watching. Expect daybeds, DJ sets, and a vibrant atmosphere.
Green Demon Beach Club (Sunday Funday)
Laid-back and friendly, Green Demon serves up good food, icy drinks, and front-row seats to sunset. It’s a solid choice if you want to hang out, meet people, or just enjoy a casual beach day with great service.
Kin Ha (My personal favorite)
Kin Ha has that rare combo of being fun for kids and relaxing for adults. There’s a water trampoline, free kayaks, a swing off the dock, and a volleyball net in the ocean. Plus, the swim-up pool bar is adults-only, so if you're kid-free, you’ve got a splash-free zone to chill in peace.
If You're Bringing the Kids
Amazona Beach Club
A solid family-friendly option with space for the kids to roam and a menu that includes everything from fresh seafood to burgers. It’s low-key, welcoming, and easy to settle into for the day.
If You Want Adventure Without the Fuss
Garrafon de Castilla
Not to be confused with the larger Garrafon Park, this smaller spot offers a simpler, budget-friendly experience with snorkeling right off the shore. Perfect if you want some underwater time without paying for a full tour.
Kin Ha (again, because it fits here too)
No entry fee, activities built in, and an oceanfront layout that invites both action and relaxation. It’s ideal for those who want to mix sunbathing with a little play.
If You're on a Budget
Tarzan Beach Club
Simple, chill, and affordable. You can rent a lounger or grab a table, order a drink, and enjoy one of the best stretches of sand without any of the touristy pressure.
Chimbo’s Beach
A bit more tucked away, Chimbo’s has a relaxed, no-frills vibe with solid service and a great view. It’s a favorite for locals and repeat visitors who just want to enjoy the beach without the scene.
Local Tips
Get there early if you want a good spot, especially at places on Playa Norte.
Some clubs have minimum spend requirements, so check before settling in.
Bring cash, especially if you’re headed to smaller or more casual spots.
Be respectful of the environment, take your trash with you and skip the glittery sunscreens.
This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a real-deal local perspective on some of the best beach clubs the island has to offer. Whether you’re splurging or keeping it simple, Isla’s got a place for you. Enjoy!
