Here are the most avant-garde, minimalist trends, rustic and Mexican styles, all the way to the latest in the hit parade, even retro.No one gets bored in Playa.

The veteran and original Blue Parrot is a good starting point.Ride a swing at the bar by the beach while listening to 70's, 80's, and 90's hits, reggae classics, and other Caribbean rhythms.Very close by, at Deseo, relax on a king-size mattress under the stars listening to the finest selection of trance and lounge music in an alternative, chic ambience.

Nightlife can continue at Capitan Tutix, a classic Playa del Carmen nightclub. It has the best live bands around plus salsa, hip-hop, and rap in a high-energy atmosphere.If your clubbing trends more towards alternative, your night can continue at Santanera, with its baroque decoration and half-lit lounge upstairs. If you look after-hours, many places on the beach will still be open and make cool places to receive the new day.

 

Frida Bar

This open-air bar includes a pool, a bridge over the water, and palm trees. Big images of Frida Khalo and Pancho Villa overlook the mystical Mexican ambience, accompanied by an army of candles and talented Mexican bands and singers.(We are constantly looking for bands performing rock, flamenco, and blues fusion.)

 

Capitain Tutix

This is "the" beach club.Many live bands play amidst light shows.It opens with an extraordinary percussion spectacle and, little by little, a crowd of travelers in vacation ecstasy congregates until the early morning hours.All this while being on the beach is something no one should miss.Playa del Carmen nightlife is so exciting!

 

Alux

Alux is a restaurant, bar, and lounge reiterating Playa's clubbing and cuisine schemes. Everything revolves around a cave as an experience of descent into the underworld, livened up by a thousand colored lights filtering and vanishing among millenary stalactites.Alux is territory to a most diverse crowd.

 

OM Lounge

You'll feel the cosmic vibration at the entrance to OM.This lounge bar reflects house sounds on a large Indonesian mirror right after midnight, something you've got to see.It specializes in fruit-juice cocktails.

 

Deseo

Deseo is one of the coolest bars.It is an open-air, second-floor lounge. You have to see it for yourself: big mattresses among flowing curtains, old-time silent movies projected on the wall, and cadence lounge music chosen by a popular DJ. It's worth the price for the unsurpassable ambience.

 

Blue Parrot

The Blue Parrot is a landmark in Playa.Whether by day or by night, swings by the bar welcome you to a beach oasis where palm trees, tanned bodies, and delicious drinks move to the rhythm of reggae and the most popular 70's, 80's, and 90's hits.

 

The Jam Sessions

If you are a fan of live music, then stopping by the Jam Sessions Bar and Music Club is a must while on your vacation to Playa del Carmen. Located on the famous 5th Avenue, this club offers an excellent alternative to the mainstream nightlife of Playa. The atmosphere has a smooth, relaxed feel and the house band is truly amazing, keeping the lively crowd entertained with music ranging from 50's jazz to 70's rock and everything in between! Many well known artists have jammed here and signed the club's ever expanding "Wall of fame". So, if you are looking for something other than DJ's and laser shows, then the Jam Sessions is the right place for you.
