Villas with the Coolest Bars in Riviera Maya
Written by Mony Figueroa
Villa Zama
Let’s be honest, when you're on vacation, having a good drink in hand is part of the experience.
Yes, we're here for the sea, the sun, the turquoise water, and all that wellness glow… but let’s not pretend that a perfectly chilled margarita doesn’t make it all even better.
Whether it’s a poolside mojito, an afternoon aperol, or a full night of cocktail mixing with your crew, the truth is this: a great bar makes a great villa even better.
So, we thought, why not round up the villas with the best bars in the Riviera Maya?
Not just any bar. We’re talking about the bars. The ones you’ll want to post. The ones where memories (and drinks) are made. Whether it’s the design, the location, or just that extra vibe, these villas know how to pour it right.
Here are our favorite villas with bars worth booking:
Villa Amaite – Soliman Bay
Nestled between palm trees and the pool, the bar area becomes the natural gathering spot, ideal for golden hour mezcalitas or post-swim palomas. Whether you're hosting friends or just keeping the drinks flowing with your partner, Amaite’s bar setup was clearly made for vacation-mode lounging with style.
Villa Kinich – Playa del Carmen
If your version of a perfect evening includes rooftop views and ice-cold margaritas, Villa Kinich delivers. The real magic happens upstairs: a rooftop bar with front-row seats to the Caribbean sunset and the breeze of Playa’s coastline. It’s ideal for sundowners before heading to Quinta Avenida, or just staying in and letting your private bartender shake things up while you float between the pool and the view.
Villa Kinich - Playa del Carmen
Beachfront views and golf just minutes away—Villa Kinich is ideal for groups who want luxury, fun, and fairways all in one trip. With 7 spacious bedrooms, a rooftop for post-game cocktails, and full chef and butler service, this villa sets the scene for unforgettable golf getaways. The Playacar Golf Club is just around the corner, and Playa’s buzzing scene is a short walk away. Swing, sip, repeat.
Villa Sha – Cancún
Villa Sha isn’t just luxurious, it was built for sipping something good by the sea. The poolside bar is sleek, shaded, and steps from the water, making it the kind of spot you don’t want to leave all day. Whether you’re having fresh ceviche and chilled rosé or going full tiki-cocktail mode, the layout invites effortless indoor-outdoor living with the bar as the heartbeat of it all.
Bella Vita – Tankah Bay
Framed by palm trees and facing the sea, the bar area is perfect for early apéritifs, DIY cocktails, or inviting one of our bartenders to craft something unforgettable. It’s that kind of place where the drinks taste better just because of where you’re having them.
Private Paradise Villa – Cozumel
There’s luxury, and then there’s Private Paradise, where the bar is more than just a bar. It’s a floating party station, a happy hour hub, and the unofficial center of fun. Overwater nets, poolside lounges, and a chef who can whip up anything you’re craving? Yes, please. If you want to spend your days sipping cocktails with ocean views and your nights inventing new ones with friends, this villa makes it way too easy.
Villa Punta Sam – Cancún
Let’s just say it: Villa Punta Sam is for those who take their bar game seriously. Not only does it have a sleek rooftop bar with ocean views and a BBQ grill, it also has its own sports bar, yes, actual sports bar. Whether you’re catching a game, mixing up micheladas, or throwing a theme night with friends, this villa turns casual drinks into a full event. Bonus points for the elevator that gets you there like a boss.
