About this Restaurant

Mediterranean beachfront dining with sunset rituals and live DJs

By day, Vagalume leans into long, sun-soaked lunches with a Mediterranean tilt—think fresh seafood, vibrant salads, and crisp wines right on the sand. As the afternoon fades, the space shifts into golden-hour magic: candlelight, low-slung lounges, and resident DJs steering organic house and melodic beats. The crowd is stylish but relaxed—couples, food-loving friends, and small groups celebrating with craft cocktails. Expect attentive service, shareable plates, and a coastal-chic scene that lingers well into the night.

About the neighborhood

Tulum’s Hotel Zone, where beach dining meets nightlife

Set along the Hotel Zone’s sandy strip, the restaurant enjoys easy access to neighboring bars and late-night spots. It’s a walkable, scene-forward area where taxis are the go-to and parking is limited, so plan to arrive by car service for dinner and stay for post-meal music under the stars.

We ate at Vagalume our first night in Tulum and it was delicious. There were 2 of us and we were the only ones dining that evening as they were starting to close. The ambience was great but the music was loud, bass-heavy party beach club music. We enjoyed it but if that is not your music style, you may not enjoy your experience. Food was amazing. We had the fried cauliflower in a pumpkin sauce and the beef that was cooked in a pineapple with cheese, then serve it with fresh tortillas. Apologies for not knowing the actual names of the dishes. Both unreal, and we were totally full after sharing these 2 dishes. Service was impeccable. Only con was the cocktails were expensive (380 MXN) and tasted average. Mine was similar to an old-fashioned but tasted watered down. This price is not unique to Vagalume as it is the same for cocktails up and down this strip but I would expect a spectacular cocktail for that price point. Would go here for a nice dinner out based on the prices.

The place has the energy like nothing else. The staff is very accommodating. Famous for electronic music events. Do check out their event schedule before planning your trip for a great experience. The cover charge to enter is also not very high considering it’s Tulum.

Our evening at Vagalume Tulum was truly unforgettable! The place has such a magical atmosphere, and everything from the music to the setting was perfect. The food was fresh and full of flavor, and the cocktails were amazing. What really made the difference was the service — Ángel and Lalo took care of every detail with so much kindness and attention. They made us feel welcome from the first moment and ensured we had everything we needed to enjoy the night. Thanks to them, our experience went from great to exceptional. We can’t wait to come back soon!

Valencia and Orlando were absolutely amazing. The attention to detail!! The food was delicious and plentiful. Large servings. Excellent flavor. Someone is always available to attend to whatever you need. The restaurant is clean and safe. Fans are blowing. The bathrooms are great. We had a large party with no complaints whatsoever. We came for a birthday and they brought out a delicious cake for our birthday gal. They check for allergies (which our group has) and ensured the food and drinks meet our requirements. There’s also a market where artisans display handmade items. My friend bought a dress that looks custom made just for her. Highly recommend this place when you visit Tulum.

Super delicious food!! Great service, we had David & Gabriel as our servers they were super kind and made us feel luxurious💗 It has a fun vibe to it, not a lot of people dancing, but we went on a Wednesday night so that makes sense. Great drinks! I had the burger and it was so amazing as well as the Largata mixed drink and we were treated amazing here. Wish there was better music, but it was still enjoyable

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a reservation for dinner?

Highly recommended, especially for sunset dining or weekends; the beachfront tables are the first to go.

What kind of food is on the menu?

Mediterranean-leaning coastal fare with an emphasis on seafood, fresh salads, and shareable plates.

Is there parking?

Vagalume Tulum do not have parking or valet parking service

How’s the music and volume at dinner time?

Expect laid-back DJ sets at sunset that build through the evening, keeping conversation-friendly energy early and a livelier vibe later.

Are kids welcome?

It’s a restaurant and beach club by day, but the atmosphere turns adult-focused after dark; check directly if you’re dining with little ones.
