Gitano Beach
About This Spot
Stepping into Gitano Beach is like slipping into a effortlessly cool daydream by the sea. This is not just another beach club; it’s a place where the rhythm of the ocean blends with a relaxed, inviting vibe that draws you into a slower, more mindful pace. The sound of waves mingles with soft live music, while the warm sunlight dapples through swaying palms, creating the perfect backdrop for genuine moments to unfold.
The atmosphere here strikes a curious balance — lively yet laid-back, intimate but open enough to welcome newcomers and regulars alike. Whether you settle into a shaded cabana or perch on a low stool near the bar, you’ll find yourself embraced by a sense of ease, making the hours melt away effortlessly. It’s the kind of space where laughter flows as freely as the expertly crafted mezcal cocktails, and where the hum of conversation feels almost like part of the natural landscape.
Food at Gitano Beach mirrors this spirit of thoughtful enjoyment. The menu invites sharing, with dishes that fuse local flavors and unexpected touches — tangy guacamole brightened with fresh herbs, the smoky whisper of chipotle resting on tender roasted potatoes, or the subtle spice in a Lebanese chicken kebab that pairs beautifully with the breeze. Breakfast unfolds with simple pleasures like creamy avocado toast or the rich warmth of huevos rancheros, each plate reflecting the easygoing charm of mornings spent by the water.
People come here not just for the food or the drinks, but for the human moments woven seamlessly into the experience — attentive service that feels more like genuine care, a sense of community found among travelers and locals alike, and the shared joy of slowing down in a place that never rushes you. It’s the kind of spot where a day spent lounging turns into an evening filled with quiet stories and sparkling new friendships.
For those seeking a place to feel connected to the essence of Tulum’s coastal rhythm, Gitano Beach offers a warm welcome — a refuge where the pulse of the ocean and the spark of good company shape each visit into something quietly memorable.

Wonderful service, Cecelia was awesome with helping my family. Would come back any day of the week. Great place to hang out, have drinks and watch the ocean. Super cool atmosphere.

Wonderful Location. Great style and great food. We’ve been here a few times whilst our stay at casa gitano. Everyone was so friendly. Especially Cesar was a really attentive and accommodating guy. 10/10 recommend

We accidentally arrived at GITANO Beach, while our Christmas Eve table was actually booked at GITANO Jungle, which isn’t exactly close. Despite this, the staff handled the situation incredibly professionally and quickly. They simply transferred our payment and reservation to this location, and we were able to fully enjoy our evening without any stress. There was live music, delicious food, and such a cozy, warm atmosphere. A truly lovely experience.Highly recommend!!!!

Gitano I was fabulous! The service was great, and the food was delicious. The staff really went above & beyond to accommodate us and we had a wonderful time. We got a Cabana & spent the day (6 hours) here and it was worth the price. I will highly recommend Gitano and I’ll definitely be coming back when I’m in Tulum next.

Cecelia was absolutely amazing! We had such a great relaxing time, good drinks, fast service, and comfortable area. Couldn’t recommend Gitano Beach more for a relaxing lively place to chill!

We had an amazing experience at Gitano Tulum. We ordered the ceviche and calamari, and both were absolutely delicious fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We started beachside, which was such a vibe, and later moved inside where we had a close-up view of the DJ, which made the atmosphere even better. A huge shoutout to our server, Antonio, who was truly amazing. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and honestly works so hard—his service really elevated the entire experience. Also, a big thank you to John for the complimentary shots, which were a fun and much-appreciated surprise! Great food, great music, and outstanding service Gitano is a must when in Tulum.

Looks like a tourist trap hi-end place from the outside. Turns out its exactly that in a good way. Food, service ambience is amazing. Price/performance on the food was great. On drinks it’s the same as the rest along Tulum beach (expensive). Would come back.

Food was great. Really enjoyed the fish and shrimp tacos, but everything was really good. Great service from Enrique and the whole team. Will definitely be back!
