Tulum, Mexico has earned a global reputation for exceptional food — and nowhere is that more evident than at Amansala, one of the Riviera Maya's most beloved beachfront restaurants. Our kitchen is built around one simple philosophy: use only what is fresh, local, and in season. That means the whole fish on your plate this afternoon was swimming in the turquoise Caribbean water just hours before.
Fresh, locally sourced dishes served daily at Amansala Beach Club, Tulum.
Fresh Whole Fish — The Star of Our Menu
At Amansala, fresh grilled whole fish is more than a menu item — it's a ritual. Each morning, our chefs select the finest catch brought in by local Tulum fishermen from the Caribbean Sea. The fish is cleaned, seasoned simply with lime, sea salt, fresh herbs, and a touch of chilli, then grilled over an open flame to achieve that perfect combination of crispy skin and tender, juicy flesh inside.
Served whole and beautifully presented with fresh salsa, grilled vegetables, and warm tortillas, it's the kind of meal that reminds you why eating simply and locally is almost always the best choice. This is real Tulum food — no pretension, just exceptional ingredients prepared with care.
"The freshest fish I've ever tasted — caught that morning from the Caribbean, grilled perfectly, served with your feet in the sand. This is why people fall in love with Tulum."
Beyond the Whole Fish — Our Full Menu
While the grilled whole fish is our signature, the Amansala Beach Club menu celebrates the full range of coastal Mexican cuisine — with plenty of vegetarian, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free options to ensure everyone eats beautifully.
Farm-to-Table in Tulum, Mexico
Amansala has always been committed to farm-to-table dining in Tulum, Mexico. Our produce comes from local organic farmers in the Yucatán Peninsula, our seafood from Caribbean fishermen, and our herbs from the resort's own garden. We believe that food should nourish the body, respect the land, and celebrate the incredible biodiversity of the Mexican Caribbean coast.
This approach means our menu changes with the seasons and the daily catch — so every visit to Amansala Beach Club brings something new, something fresh, and something you won't find anywhere else in Tulum.
Every dish at Amansala is crafted from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.
