Tulum’s Best Beach Clubs (and How to Get the Good Table)

Tulum’s beach clubs are their own art form — part restaurant, part day-party, part runway — and which one you pick (and which table you land) can make or break the day. We book them daily, all year, so here’s the honest rundown of who’s who, plus the one thing nobody tells you about getting a good table.

Gitano — the boho icon

Disco balls in the palms, mezcal cocktails, and a sunset session that quietly turns lunch into an evening. Gitano is famously ‘not a pool party’ — it’s stylish and relaxed, with a kitchen that holds its own. The move is a beach bed for two and a long, slow afternoon.

Tantra — the connoisseur’s long lunch

If Gitano is the sunset, Tantra is the lunch — impeccable table service, front-row daybeds, and a kitchen and cocktail list that stand entirely on their own. It’s the one regulars quietly rebook.

And the rest of the line-up

Taboo brings the show — live sax, champagne, and the bachelorette crowd’s favourite stage. Ilios turns dinner into a Greek fire-and-plate-smashing party. There’s a club for every mood; the trick is matching the room to your group.

The thing about tables

Here’s the insider bit: minimum spends, section names and the genuinely good tables rarely make it onto a booking page. Front-row for the show, the corner that catches the breeze, the bed with the view — those move through the people who book these clubs every day. We’re those people, and we don’t charge you to be.

Tell us your dates, your group and the vibe you’re after, and we’ll put you at the right club, at the right table, on the right night.
