A Monthly Beach Party from 6 PM to Late
Full Moon Rising returns to Gitano Beach on Saturday, December 19, 2026. The monthly celebration starts at 6 PM and runs late, moving from sunset into a night of electronic DJ sets. The programme brings an international crowd together on the beach beside the Caribbean Sea. Tickets start at MXN $390, with a limited allocation available for this edition.
Electronic Sets for the Shift After Sunset
The night is built around electronic sounds and DJ sets rather than a live concert format. Gitano Beach regularly programs deep house, tropical house, nu-disco, indie dance and melodic house, with music rising in pace around sunset. Its wider calendar also includes Gypsy Disco, Sunset Fiesta and Las Gitanas. Previous programmes at the venue have featured Emanuel Satie, Savage & She, and Tom & Collins. GITANO Records releases sets and playlists across organic house, deep house, downtempo and disco house.
Beach Setup with a Giant Disco Ball
Gitano Beach occupies a 120-metre strip of sand beside Casa Gitano. Cushioned sunbeds, cabanas and bamboo benches create a social layout for couples and groups. Black-and-white striped tipis provide shade during the day, while handcrafted textiles and natural materials define the lounge areas. A giant disco ball marks the dance-focused side of the venue as the atmosphere moves from beach service toward DJs and dancing.
Open-Fire Cooking and Mezcal Cocktails
The regular menu combines modern Mexican cooking with Mediterranean touches. An open-fire kitchen uses a wood-burning oven, grill and comal for seafood, meat, tacos and vegetable plates. Cochinita pibil tacos come with habanero and salsa verde, while the menu also includes aguachile and a Baja California hamachi tostada. The drinks programme centres on mezcal cocktails. Dietary labels identify gluten-free, nut-free, vegetarian and dairy-free dishes, and guests with restrictions should tell their waiter before ordering.
A Gitano Beach Series Tied to the Lunar Calendar
Full Moon Rising follows a monthly lunar calendar at Gitano Beach. The series sits within a regular programme that connects daytime beach service with music after sunset. Gitano Beach opened in February 2021 and now operates beside the Casa Gitano hotel near the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve. It belongs to Grupo Gitano, which also runs properties in Miami, New York and Dubai. The venue’s combination of beach seating, food, mezcal and recurring DJ events gives the series a setting designed for a full evening rather than a short club set.
Who the Sunset-to-Late Format Suits
The crowd at Gitano Beach typically includes international visitors, couples and groups celebrating together. Full Moon Rising adds a clear party focus through its monthly format and electronic programme. The early start lets you arrive while the venue is still in its sunset phase, then stay as the space shifts toward dancing. This is a social beachfront event, not a quiet beach-club session or a pool-party format.
