Hayhu Beach Club
Cuba
At a glance
Hayhu Beach Club occupies a quiet stretch of coastline along the road between Mahahual and Xcalak, in Puerto Angel on Mexico’s Costa Maya. The setting brings together Caribbean water, coastal vegetation and a beach environment designed for guests seeking a slower, more polished day away from the busier parts of Mahahual. The destination fits a wider Caribbean itinerary that can include Cuba, while retaining a distinctly Mexican coastal setting.
The club’s style is best described as barefoot luxury. Natural surroundings sit alongside considered design, shaded loungers, hammocks and oceanfront decks. The atmosphere is relaxed rather than formal, with space for quiet time by the sea, unhurried dining and drinks served in an outdoor setting. The beach and jungle areas add different ways to settle into the landscape, while the upper terrace provides a more private setting for groups looking for additional separation.
Food is central to the experience. The cuisine draws on Caribbean flavours and the South American tradition of cooking over fire, with fresh local ingredients presented in an elevated but approachable way. Handcrafted cocktails and premium mixology complement the food, making the club suitable for a full beach day rather than a brief stop for refreshments. The emphasis is on produce, flame, presentation and a close connection with the surrounding nature.
Hayhu offers several formats for spending time at the property. The lower oceanfront area has shaded loungers, shared dining tables and hammocks, creating a social but easygoing setting. The beach and jungle sections focus on natural shade, comfortable seating and views across the water. A VIP option is intended for private groups and includes an upper terrace, shaded loungers, food and cocktails, access to snorkelling and kayaking, high-speed Wi-Fi, and a private bathroom with showers.
For guests staying longer in the Mahahual area, Casa Hayhu extends the same design approach into accommodation. Its suites combine natural textures, curated interiors and a calm atmosphere shaped by the jungle and the sea. The overall character suits travellers interested in a composed coastal setting, creative food, outdoor comfort and a quieter alternative to a conventional beach club. It also works for cruise visitors looking to arrange a dedicated day by the water, provided the relevant access format is confirmed in advance.
