There are more than a dozen beach clubs to choose from in Playa del Carmen.<\/p>\n

However, the majority of them have one thing in common: loud music and partying.<\/p>\n

Enter Inti Beach Club.<\/p>\n

Once strictly a holistic center on the beach, the chic and comfortable space now fusions the ohm of yoga and wellness with the yum of beachfront dining and delicious cocktails.<\/p>\n

It’s now one of my all-time favorite Playa del Carmen beach clubs<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here’s what you’ll find.<\/p>\n

What Makes Inti Beach Club Special<\/h2>\n

\"Fresh<\/p>\n

I’ll admit I was a bit surprised by Inti Beach Club.<\/p>\n

I don’t often visit this stretch of beach for some reason, and when I do my eyes are generally so mesmerized by the colors of the Caribbean Sea that I properly fail to take into account my surroundings.<\/p>\n

In doing so, I literally overlooked Inti Beach Club.<\/p>\n

I had seen the sign, and I had also noticed that they offer beach massages.<\/p>\n

But that’s it.<\/p>\n

Then, I paid a visit to Inti Beach Club the other day and was astounded by what I hadn’t seen in all its splendor before.<\/p>\n

See, Inti Beach Club is not just a holisitic center for people looking to align their chakras and open their minds and spirits to a free-flowing communication with the universe.<\/p>\n

It’s now a chic beach club that remains refreshingly low-key and comfortable for those who really want to just chill out and relax at the beach sans the techno music.<\/p>\n

The Food at Inti Beach Club<\/h2>\n

\"fresh-made<\/p>\n

Not only is this space unique to Playa, so too is its food.<\/p>\n

Boasting some delicious South American influences from Peru and Brazil, Inti Beach Club adds flavors and dishes which are not typically found in Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya.<\/p>\n

I can’t speak for everything on the menu, which all looked awesome, but I can attest to the food we tried while we were there.<\/p>\n

I started out with a freshly made juice made up of apples, red beets, ginger, cucumber, and lime juice.<\/p>\n

It was not only utterly refreshing but about as close as I had come to a holistic experience in quite some time.<\/p>\n

Then, out came the appetizer: fresh-made guacamole served with tortilla chips and fried plantains.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, as abundant as plantains are in this region of Mexico, few places actually use them for cooking when they’re green.<\/p>\n

Anyone who has ever visited Cuba, Colombia or other parts of the Caribbean knows that fried green plantains rock.<\/p>\n

These were fried and served in long thin slices and proved to be an excellent compliment to the delicious and naturally creamy guacamole.<\/p>\n

The Main Dishes<\/h2>\n

\"a<\/p>\n

Finally, it was time for the entr\u00e9es: a Mediterranean-style baguette and a fresh ceviche made up of the catch of the day.<\/p>\n

The baguette was delicious and well-served.<\/p>\n

The crunchy on the outside soft in the inside baguette was filled with smooth goat cheese, delicious strips of red and yellow bell peppers, arugula, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and a delicious sauce.<\/p>\n

\"Sandwich<\/p>\n

It was good and felt even healthy, which is not always something I can claim when I eat.<\/p>\n

But my favorite turned out to be the ceviche, made Peruvian-style and served with toasted large corn kernels.<\/p>\n

\"the<\/p>\n

Both meals were light and refreshing, which made the yum seem not too hard on the ohm part of the experience.<\/p>\n

As a savory accompaniment, I washed it all down with the house cocktail: a fantastic passion fruit Caipirinha.<\/p>\n

Inti Holistic Center Activities<\/h2>\n

\"Yoga<\/p>\n

But the good vibes don’t just end with the spectacular view and the delicious food.<\/p>\n

Inti Beach Club also offers a variety of activities to make this holistic haven the perfect balance of beach club and wellness center.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, guests of Inti can partake in diverse yoga classes just steps away from the Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n

\"yoga<\/p>\n

Likewise, the Aloha Paddle Club<\/strong><\/a> operates out of Inti Beach, with Stand-Up Paddleboards available to rent for both locals and visitors alike.<\/p>\n

Moreover, Inti Beach has just become the place par excellence to see a movie under the stars.<\/p>\n

Organized by the awesome folks at El Cine Club<\/strong><\/a>, you can sit out on the deck of Inti Beach Club and see an array of some of the top independent flicks around.<\/p>\n

\"El<\/p>\n

In fact, there will be a showing on March 18th of the fantastic Colombian flick Embrace of the Serpent<\/strong><\/a>, which won several international awards and was nominated for the Oscar’s in the category of Best Foreign Language Film.<\/p>\n

In addition, for those looking to truly wind down and relax while at the beach, the certified masseuses of Inti offer a diverse array of massages overlooking the Caribbean Sea.<\/p>\n

Inti Beach Club Prices<\/h2>\n

\"Omelet<\/p>\n

Prices at Inti Beach Club are on par with other similar establishments on the beach.<\/p>\n

Location is key here, which means you should expect to pay a little bit more for the food and services.<\/p>\n

That said, however, taking into consideration the service, quality of the ingredients, view, and atmosphere, this place represents a good deal for those looking to spend a relaxing day at the beach.<\/p>\n

Appetizers run anywhere from $90 to $235 MXN. Expect to spend about $120 MXN per plate for breakfast, with lunch dishes running anywhere between $130 and $300 pesos ($450 MXN for a fried whole fish for two).<\/p>\n

As for drinks, cocktails average about $120 MXN a pop, a glass of house wine $100 MXN, and beers starting at $40 pesos.<\/p>\n

Note that there is a minimum consumption fee for the area of the beach beds and loungers. The fee oscillates between $300 and $500 pesos, depending on the season.<\/p>\n

Inti Beach Club Opening Hours & Location<\/h2>\n

\"Elephant<\/p>\n

Currently, Inti Beach Club is open daily from 9:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m.<\/p>\n

However, plans are underway for the end of this month to remain open until approximately 11:00 p.m., which will make a great addition to Playa del Carmen restaurant scene<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To get here, just walk down to the beach and head north from 4th Street or south from 6th Street.<\/p>\n

Just be sure to don’t make the same mistake I made.<\/p>\n

Instead, concentrate your energies on finding this holistic haven and let all your worries wash away as you relax, unwind, and enjoy a beautiful day on a Playa del Carmen beach.<\/p>\n
