Cancun’s newest luxury hotel has added a hot new beach bar. 

The SLS Cancun has opened Bungalow Beach Bar and Grill, following the bar’s recent launch at the SLS Baha Mar in The Bahamas. 

Bungalow is an open-concept, beach-club style outpost, with an “eco-chic” design and a menu focusing on local cuisine like fresh-caught ceviche. 

It will also be home to a series of revolving DJs. 

“As our first Bungalow venue in Mexico, we are excited to bring a fresh concept to some of the most discerning guests with a worldly approach to mixology and programming on the beachfront here at SLS Cancun,” said Simon Sorpresi, area Vice President at SLS. “Our guests will discover Bungalow nestled next to the famed Novo Cancun Marina, on our picturesque private beach with epic views of the Gulf of Mexico.”

The 45-room SLS Cancun, which opened its doors last year, is set at the Puerto Cancun development, featuring design by Pierro Lissoni. 

It’s part of a broader residential resort property.
