La Playa Xpu-ha Beach Club
Mexico
At a glance
La Playa Xpu-Ha Beach Club is a relaxed beachfront restaurant and beach club on the Riviera Maya, set along the sand at Xpu-Ha between Puerto Aventuras and Akumal. Its location on Mexico’s Caribbean coast gives the venue a casual seaside character, with dining areas connected to the beach and a setting suited to unhurried days by the water.
The restaurant serves a broad menu that combines seafood, Mexican favourites and familiar international-style dishes. Seafood plays a central role, with preparations including ceviches, aguachiles, tostadas, shrimp dishes, octopus and whole fried fish. The menu also includes tacos, burgers, pasta, nachos and meat-based dishes, giving groups a range of choices rather than focusing on one single style of cooking.
Dining is designed for both families and mixed-age groups. The beach setting allows children to stay close to the sand while adults dine or order refreshments, and the atmosphere remains informal rather than highly formal. A seaside terrace provides an outdoor option for meals and drinks, while the beach club offers facilities that support a full day at the coast, including bathrooms and showers. Umbrellas and loungers are available for guests who want to spend time by the water.
Live music forms part of the beach-club experience during the afternoon, adding a social element without changing the venue’s easygoing character. The restaurant also accommodates weddings and other events, with dedicated facilities and event support. A small handicraft shop and a fish market are part of the wider offering, extending the visit beyond the restaurant and beach area.
La Playa Xpu-Ha suits travellers looking for a straightforward beach day with food, drinks and practical facilities in one location. It works particularly well for families, couples and groups with different tastes, since the menu includes both seafood and non-seafood options. The address is Carretera Chetumal-Cancun Km. 265, Xpu-Ha, 77734 Akumal, Quintana Roo.
