Soak Up Playa Del Carmen’s Nightlife

A trip to Riviera Maya can’t be all beach days and yoga retreats. At some point, some people need to have a margarita or two and enjoy the flavors and sounds of this spicy and steamy Mexican region. Riviera Maya is known for its nightlife, and Playa Del Carmen is the beating heart of the nightlife scene in Riviera Maya.

You can enjoy sunset cocktails in casual clothes or get dolled up and bring your crew to one of the incredible nightclubs in the area for some bottle service and all-night dancing. Regardless of what you are in the mood for, Playa Del Carmen has what you are looking for.

The heart of Playa Del Carmen’s nightlife runs along la Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue). This is a very happening pedestrian-only street that is filled with restaurants, lounges, and bars bumping loud music, all with their own signature and sultry decor.

Strolling along this street can be a little daunting at first, but it is a great way to window shop for your ideal evening destination. Keep in mind that the night starts late here, and many nightclubs on la Quinta Avenida stay open until 4 a.m. or later.
