Cancún began as a tiny dot on the world map in the 1970s but rapidly rose to fame as Mexico’s biggest resort. If you’re planning a getaway to this lavish city, it is only fair that you experience the best of what it offers – a colorful nightlife. Use this list of the best nightclubs in Cancún, Mexico and believe what we say for yourself.

1. Cuncrawl

Posted by Cancun Bar Pub Club Crawl Cuncrawl on Wednesday, 5 June 2019

Cuncrawl takes ‘party till the sun comes up’ a little too seriously with its early opening hours and 'party like an animal’ scene. It has an all-inclusive charge that allows you to drink as much as you can during the time it is open. It is quite popular for hosting bachelor/bachelorette parties and is also one of the safest nightclubs in town. You can party in the regular lounge area or book their private VIP access if you want to party only with your group.

2. Antique


Experience the best of regal nightlife at Antique, one of the poshest nightclubs in Cancún. Boasting an exclusive clientele and top-notch security, the place becomes a party haven, playing the best of Latin andeElectro-pop post 12:30 am. Do note that they’re very particular about their dress code, so wear suitable outfits (men, no shorts please!). One of the best things about the place? If you order a bottle and aren’t able to finish it in one evening, you can return to the club another time and ask for the same bottle to be served at no extra cost! Ain’t that thoughtful?

Here’s one nightclub whose claim to fame is hosting gigs by some of the biggest music artists like Tiësto, Alesso, Nicky Romero, Hardwell, NERVO, R3hab, and many more. Expectedly, it is super crowded and if you find it fun to party with a crowd then this is the place to be. There’s even some aerial performances, fire shows, and robot-dance performances thrown in regularly. Don’t be alarmed if you land here early and don’t find much of a crowd. It usually starts building up around midnight.
