A favored haunt among the creative jet set for its 1930’s Spanish Colonial charm and bohemian stylings, the beloved boutique hotel also serves up generous lashings of fun at the hotel’s buzzy Gitano restaurant and exuberant ocean-view rooftop bar.

Curl up on a pillow-strewn Bedouin tent to bask in a sunset Golden Hour while grooving to gypsy-disco and supping specially priced cocktails. Latest additions include Connie Girl, a refreshing mix of basil-and-cucumber-infused Haku vodka, agave and lime, and The Queen, whose blend of Monkey 47 gin, lavender-infused honey, lemon, and orange juice, goes down dangerously smooth.

To boost your energy for Gitano’s new Lila Rose parties on Saturday nights, order a Gitano Carajilo—Gitano’s take on an espresso martini. The leafy ground-floor restaurant channels Tulum vibes with a menu of authentic Mexican recipes and mezcal elixirs like the fan-favorite Jungle Fever. Graze on Lobster Tostadas with avocado pea mash, radish, serrano chili, chipotle aioli, cilantro, and mint, but leave room for mouthwatering mains like Branzino in Banana Leaf and Pork Chop Al Pastor. Whether you’re relaxing on the beach, enjoying an afternoon siesta in ocean-facing accommodations, or wining and dining at Gitano restaurant and rooftop, Casa Faena guarantees a good time.
