Massai Mara Beach Club

Massai Mara Beach Club belongs to the Safari Lounge group and makes no secret of its theme: the decoration is African safari, the beds on the sand are balinese, and the format is the full beach day rather than the meal. It sits on the Poniente promenade, a few doors from the other large clubs of that stretch.

It holds a 4.5 across nearly five thousand reviews, which puts it level with the biggest names on this beach. What separates it from them is the daybed, and that is worth knowing in advance because it changes how you plan the day: you arrive in the morning, you take a bed, and the kitchen and bar come to you.

My honest position on the themed clubs of Torre del Mar is that they are good at what they do and they are not what makes this town different. Spend one day here if the format appeals, and spend another one at a plain chiringuito with a fire in a boat. The second is the one you will describe when you get home.
