Considering Tau Have you ever dreamed of a perfect beach day in Mexico—sun shining, waves rolling in, palm trees swaying, and not a single worry except what to eat next? That’s exactly how our day at Tau Beach Club in Puerto Vallarta turned out—and honestly, it exceeded expectations.
Where Is Tau Beach Club Located?
The adults-only Tau Beach Club sits along beautiful Banderas Bay in the upscale Marina Vallarta area, just minutes from the airport and about 15 minutes from the Malecón.
Guests staying at nearby resorts (like Velas Vallarta) can take a quick shuttle, making it incredibly easy to access.
First Impressions: Relaxed Luxury on the Beach
From the moment we arrived, the vibe was effortless luxury.
We were greeted with fresh coconut water served right in the shell—a small detail that immediately set the tone for the day.
The space is completely open-air, with:
- A stunning infinity-edge pool overlooking the beach
- Comfortable shaded loungers and umbrellas
- A jacuzzi and sun shelf area
- A full-service bar and restaurant
And best of all? It never felt crowded.

Pool vs. Beach: Where Should You Spend Your Time?
This is one of those rare places where you truly can’t go wrong.
We spent most of our time at the pool—cool, refreshing, and practically empty (we shared it with just two other people most of the day).
Prefer the sand?
You’ll love the Balinese beds right on the beach, with uninterrupted views of the ocean.
Nearby vendors do pass by, but they’re respectful and not pushy—a huge plus.
Food & Drinks: Surprisingly Excellent
Let’s talk about the real highlight… the food.
Poolside Favorites:
- Chips, salsa, and incredibly creamy guacamole
- Fresh fruit plate (perfect in the heat!)
- Tuna tostadas and fajitas
Lunch at the Restaurant:
We took a break from the sun and sat down for a proper meal.
- Fish tacos with cabbage slaw and chipotle mousse
- Chicken sopes with tomatillo sauce and fresh cheese
Both were fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want in a beachside setting.
Drinks Worth Ordering:
- Margaritas (of course)
- Piña coladas made with crème de cacao (SO good)
- Coconut water served in-shell (a crowd favorite)
Atmosphere & Service
This is where Tau really shines.
- Attentive, friendly staff
- Food and drinks delivered to your chair
- Light tropical music in the background
- A calm, relaxed vibe (not a party scene)
It’s the kind of place where you can truly unwind.
