“Relax – You Are On Beach Time.~”
To be honest I wasn’t prepared to like Inti Beach Club as much as I do. This was due in part because I stay in the condo complex next to this new spot, and I was afraid it would turn into a pulsing nightclub with non-stop ear-shattering electronic dance music. However, I am very happy to report this is a pretty chillax-ed place to enjoy a cocktail, a meal or lounge the day or evening away.
Last winter I took the opportunity to explore what Inti was all about. It started with an evening visit to sit on a cozy couch ocean-side with a tropical cocktail in hand while enjoying live music. Talk about a romantic ambiance; with torches illuminating the beach, palm trees lit with sparkling lights and the soothing sounds of the ocean waves playing in the background. The scene was a perfect mood-setter.
After getting to know the manager, I was invited to partake in their open-house highlighting their wedding event planning, which was a fantastic evening to say the least. I enjoyed some tasty seafood hors d’ouevres (bursting with flavor!) while sipping a crisp glass of white wine while getting a tour of their facilities. The food was top notch, the drinks were exotic and creative, and the staff could not have been friendlier and more welcoming.
Playa has its fair share of beach clubs. And we all have different ideas and tastes when it comes to beach bars. Inti while relatively new to the beach scene, is a chic upscale club that is forging its own identify and niche in Playa. It’s doing so by serving up eclectic food and drinks in a tropical oasis setting, without the loud music and partying that many surrounding beach clubs subscribe to.
This beach club is eye-catching to say the least. Sleek beach loungers, day beds and palm trees will initially grab your attention. However, as you walk further into this open-air concept bar/restaurant, you will discover many different levels of seating and lounging areas. Think white wooden tables with pillows, beanbag chairs, chair swings, and an array of colorful tropical plants and yoga inspired accents.
There menu is designed to fit in with their all natural/yoga/zen approach. Their food items are fresh, natural and infused with flavors from Peru, Mexico and Brazil. Their tasty signatures dishes are created to match the views – mellow waves and tangerine skies. Try the shrimp ceviche (265 pesos), and the fish tacos (220 pesos) – they’ll have you oohing and aahing. Their tasty margaritas will run you anywhere from 120-200 pesos and beer (Corona) 45 pesos.
They offer breakfast (amazing smoothies at 90 pesos!), lunch and dinner, with a low key day vibe, and a lovely tranquil nighttime setting that runs till 10:30 PM. They also offer on-site holistic yoga classes, and therapeutic massage starting at $50US for an hour with details listed on their website below.
Inti is within walking distance from our condos and villas. As an added perk, if you stay at Luna Encantada next door, they will deliver their delish food & drink right to your lounger!
All in all, I really like this spot. I will say it’s a bit pricier than other spots on the beach; however, if you are looking for a serene seaside oasis, with the emphasis on fresh natural ingredients, exotic cocktails and attentive staff, then Inti is your place. So be sure to visit this tropical beach side gem and get your zen on!
