Mandala Beach Club

The Basics

A daytime visit to the Mandala Beach Club offers everything from relaxing in beachside cabanas to poolside service at the club’s three pools. While tropical drinks are flowing at any time of the day, the party steps up to the next level when night falls and the area transforms into one of Cancun’s top nightclubs.

You can get a beach day pass that lets you breeze past the lines and comes with an included lounge chair and pool access. At night, book a party pass that gets you VIP access, skip-the-line privileges, and unlimited drinks from the open bar.
