Alux Restaurant & Lounge

Descend into a realm of ancient wonder at Alux Restaurant & Lounge, tucked beneath Playa del Carmen in a naturally formed, millennia-old cave. As you make your way through a torch-lit jungle courtyard along a cobblestone path, you’ll feel the world shift. A descending staircase leads you into a hidden underworld where stalactites and stalagmites become the main décor—artistry by nature, accentuated by ambient colored lights that cast golden hues across the cavern walls, making every table feel magical. Inside, masterful haute cuisine takes center stage, blending contemporary Mexican, Pre-Hispanic, and international flavors. Whether it's lobster bisque, land-and-sea platters, or decadent signature dishes like the gold‑leaf tomahawk steak, the menu is as dramatic as its surroundings. The venue accommodates a variety of experiences: intimate sittings in whisper-quiet alcoves, vibrant dining in the main cavern, and exclusive VIP "vaults"—private, candlelit nooks ideal for romantic dinners, proposals, or small gatherings enveloped in atmosphere. Several are thematically named—Inspiración, Deseo, Secreto, and others—further enriching the immersive character of the venue. Whether you're seeking romance, culinary adventure, or theatrical flair, Alux offers an elevated dining experience unlike any other—where nature’s majesty meets gourmet service underground.
