Dining Guide for La Casa de la Playa

Five signature restaurants are each developed by a named chef with an international reputation — this is the defining feature of the dining program. Room service runs 24 hours and delivers from the award-winning menu. Three bar options, including a self-serve agave bar and a sommelier-curated wine cellar, add depth to the beverage program. Poolside casual dining is the weakest link in an otherwise strong food operation.

Included Dining

XAL

Included

Mexican, Filipino, and Basque Fusion

Avant-garde cuisine by Chef Andoni Luis Aduriz, the Spanish chef behind two-Michelin-starred Mugaritz. The menu is unconventional — expect experimental techniques and unexpected flavor combinations rather than traditional Mexican cuisine. Not every guest connects with this style; those who do consider it the highlight of the stay.

Dinner

Signature dishes: Tasting menu centered around vibrant flavors and colors of Mexico

Estero

Included

Mexican and Peruvian Fusion

Chef Virgilio Martínez of Central (Lima) applies his South American biodiversity-driven approach to Mexican and Peruvian ingredient crossover. The tasting menu format explores altitude and ecosystem as organizing principles — distinctive and worth the full experience.

Lumbre

Included

Northern Mexican

Northern Mexican cuisine from the Rivera-Río brothers — smoky, robust preparations centered on open-fire cooking techniques. The grill and ember approach makes this the most rustic-flavored of the signature restaurants.

Centli

Included

Southern Mexican

Southern Mexican cuisine also from the Rivera-Río brothers, with maize as the central ingredient throughout the menu. The pairing of Lumbre (north) and Centli (south) by the same chef team creates a Mexico-in-full-breadth dining conversation across two venues.
