About Veleros (Daytime 2pm–8pm) and Arroyo (Nighttime 8pm–2am)
Veleros Beach Club is a high-end oceanfront restaurant and day-club in San José del Cabo, Baja California Sur (part of the Puerto Los Cabos resort). It opened in early 2023 and is often cited as the town’s coolest new destination (www.visitloscabos.travel ). The venue spans multiple beachside levels with sandy lounges, palapa shades and an exclusive jetty pier. Its design – full of sailcloth canopies, wooden decks and palm-fringed seating – blends desert warmth with the Pacific, creating a unique “desert-meets-sea” retreat (www.visitloscabos.travel ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Veleros combines fine Baja-Med cuisine (chef-driven Baja-inspired sea-to-table menus) with lounge-style daytime parties and concert-level evening events. Signature features include a private “Super Tent” oceanfront lounge for small groups (www.ticketfairy.com ), and a secluded jetty for sunset dinners or cocktail gatherings (www.ticketfairy.com ). This swimmable beach setting (one of few calm beaches in Cabo) and its regularly recoding live music nights give Veleros historic and cultural clout as a new hub of Baja food, art and nightlife.
“ARROYO” is the nighttime partner scene for Veleros, a separate bar/club typically active 8pm–2am. Located in town (Av. Centenario, San José del Cabo), Arroyo is a laid-back bar known for pool tables, an analog video art wall and a friendly atmosphere (www.tripadvisor.com ). Early evenings at Arroyo are relaxed (cocktails and light conversation), but after about 9pm DJs crank up electronic, reggaeton and dance music for a lively party. In practice, many events run from late afternoon at Veleros on the beach straight into the night at Arroyo. Together they offer a full-day experience: beachfront dining and music by day, then a downtown club vibe by night. The two venues complement each other – Veleros provides the seaside setting and upscale eats, Arroyo provides the dive-bar charm and late-night dancing.
Events and Programming
Veleros Beach Club hosts a jam-packed events calendar, especially on weekends. By day it runs brunches, sunset lunches and “lounge afternoon” parties overlooking the Sea of Cortez (www.ticketfairy.com ). Their famed weekend brunches (typically on Sundays) feature live DJs spinning tropical/house/indie music against the sunset (www.ticketfairy.com ). These long, buffet-style brunches with bottomless cocktails have become a local staple. Even on weekdays you’ll find unhurried seaside lunches and early evening DJ sessions.
In the evenings, Veleros transforms into a dance venue. National and international DJs play on a big outdoor stage (in the open-air “Arena” deck), with the sound system and lights creating a beach-club rave under the stars (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The music tends toward house, EDM and Latin grooves, tuned to build up as night falls. Veleros also hosts live bands and acoustic acts on special nights (especially in winter/festive season). For example, their first anniversary in Feb 2025 featured high-profile DJs like Rigopolar and UKIYO (www.ticketfairy.com ), and holiday parties (e.g. Dec 2023 “Navidance” Christmas fest) have drawn all-star dance lineups. The club also does themed dance parties (like a “Full Moon Gathering” or zodiac/ritual dance events with cosmic stage decor (www.ticketfairy.com )).
A major new highlight is the Baja Oyster Festival (Festival del Ostión). Launched in Spring 2024 and extended in 2025, this multi-day food-and-drink fest celebrates local oysters prepared by guest chefs, with live music and family activities (kids under 12 often free) (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Other recurring events include seasonal beach fiestas (for example “Costa Brava Weekend” each Fall with DJs and cocktails) and special holiday concerts. In short, expect a mix of chill beach afternoons and full-on party nights. Weekends swing from calm daytime lounging to a thumping dancefloor by night.
Arroyo’s programming is simpler. By day it’s mainly a casual bar (often closed or quiet during afternoon). After 8pm Arroyo comes alive: local and visiting DJs spin electronic, reggaeton and club hits (www.tripadvisor.com ). It earns a reputation as an unpretentious late-night spot – friendly and fun but not flashy. One TripAdvisor reviewer notes that Arroyo “transitions from a laid-back hangout to a vibrant nightlife spot,” capturing the nightlife essence of San José (www.tripadvisor.com ). It’s not a formal concert hall (no big stage), but more a dance hall with pool tables and art videos on the wall, ideal for an afterparty after Veleros.
Tickets and Booking
**Daytime bookings:** Entry to Veleros Beach Club during the day is handled by either buying a **day pass** or reserving a table at the restaurant. Sunbed day passes (for 1 person) are roughly MXN 1,400 (about USD $75), which already include about MXN 1,200 credit redeemable on food/drink (www.ticketfairy.com ). Larger cabana/sofa passes (shared seating for 3–4 people) cost around MXN 1,900 each (with MXN 1,700 credit) (www.ticketfairy.com ). A private “Super Tent” oceanfront lounge ticket (for one person) is about MXN 3,900 (with MXN 3,900 food/beverage credit) (www.ticketfairy.com ). All passes include towels, water, sunblock and other amenities. You can usually purchase these day passes on Veleros’s website, via OpenTable or on the spot (cash and cards accepted), but **high season passes do sell out**, so it’s safest to book ahead online or through the club’s reservation line.
**Dinner reservations:** To dine at the restaurant in the main dining areas (Arena or La Playa), you can walk in on most days, but reservations are strongly recommended for busy weekends. The food menu is served daily (roughly 10am–6pm), and the dress is casual-elegant (flip-flops and cover-ups are common). Credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, Amex) are accepted for food/drink, and tipping (15–20%) is customary.
**Nighttime event tickets:** Evening dance parties at Veleros (and Arroyo) are usually ticketed events sold by promoters. Tickets typically go on sale weeks or months in advance – there is no box office at the club after hours, so you must buy online or in partner outlets. For major concerts or DJ nights, tickets often range around USD $30–60 (roughly MXN 600–1200) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Family-friendly events (like the Oyster Festival) cost roughly MXN 700–1000 for an all-day pass (www.ticketfairy.com ). Many dance nights are age-restricted (usually 18+ or 21+) (www.ticketfairy.com ), so check the event policy carefully. It’s wise to monitor Veleros’ social media or subscribe to newsletter alerts – popular shows often sell out quickly.
**Arroyo access:** Arroyo is a standalone bar. It usually has cover charges or door tickets on busy nights (often a few hundred pesos), and sometimes offers guest-list or free entry early in the evening. Drinks are paid individually. You generally do not need a day pass at Veleros to go to Arroyo, but note they are in different locations. If attending a combined event (day at Veleros, night at Arroyo), organizers typically provide separate entry arrangements for each venue.
Seating and Layout
Veleros Beach Club is open-air with multiple zones rather than one fixed ballroom. The centerpiece is an open-sided **Arena** deck under large sailcloth canopies. This main dining stage seats around 120–130 guests for a sit-down dinner and can accommodate up to ~250–300 in a standing cocktail/party setup (www.ticketfairy.com ). Next to it on the sand is the **La Playa** area – a more casual mix of tables, lounge chairs and daybeds right on the beach. La Playa can host roughly 100–120 diners at a time (www.ticketfairy.com ). Off to the side is the **Jetty**, a palm-lined wooden pier reaching into the water. The jetty is a picturesque spot: it seats maybe 60–80 for intimate dinners or about 120–140 for a small party under the stars (www.ticketfairy.com ). All of these areas have lounge furniture, umbrellas and cocktail tables.
For private groups, there are two tented lounges up on the terrace. The **Super Tent** (adults-only) is a private open-sided lounge right by the sea; it’s often sold as an exclusive cabana for up to ~15 seated guests (25 standing) (www.ticketfairy.com ). The **Dimension Tent** is another cozy enclosed space that fits about 30 at dinner or 50 standing (velerosbeachclub.mx ). Sunbeds, hammocks and swings line the sand in front for day-pass holders — these are unreserved (first-come) except when you buy a specific cabana pass.
No seat at Veleros is truly “bad,” since it’s all on the beach. If you want to be near the excitement, the Arena deck is where the DJ and main dance floor will be at night (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you prefer more beach-level ambiance, grab a table or lounger in La Playa or along the water’s edge – you’ll still hear the music clearly (the venue uses high-end Void sound systems) (www.ticketfairy.com ). For private or romantic vibes, try the Jetty or the Super Tent. Note that much of Veleros is casual and open – there are no fixed seat numbers. Daytime guests grab any open lounger, and for big nights some areas may be partitioned for ticketed groups.
Arroyo’s layout is much simpler: it’s an intimate, single-room bar. Inside you’ll find a handful of tables, two pool tables and a long bar. The space is dark and tucked away – think relaxed dive-bar with a dance area, not a spacious arena. There is some limited seating, but during late-night DJ sessions most people stand and dance. The setup shifts from lounge mode in the early evening (scattered tables) to a club feel at night (tables often cleared for dancing under strobes).
Getting There and Parking
**Exact location:** Veleros Beach Club is at “Calle Paseo del Pescador S/N, La Playa” in the Puerto Los Cabos development, just east of central San José del Cabo. It’s about a 10–15 minute drive (roughly 10–15 km) from downtown San José, off Mexican Federal Highway 1. Use GPS (Google Maps or Apple Maps) to find “Veleros Beach Club, San José del Cabo.” **Arroyo** is downtown at Av. Centenario, near the City Hall plaza. It’s roughly a 15–20 minute drive from Veleros (depending on traffic).
**Parking:** Veleros provides an on-site parking lot. Guests have noted it’s **very spacious and usually free** for patrons during daytime hours (www.ticketfairy.com ). You can pull up right at the entrance – the staff offers ample parking space. After dark or for special events, you may pay a small valet or event parking fee (check ahead if that applies). Arroyo, being downtown, has limited street parking. If driving to Arroyo late at night, plan on parallel parking on nearby streets or using paid lots.
**Driving/Rideshare:** San José del Cabo has no subway or convenient bus to the beach clubs. The easiest way is by car, taxi or rideshare. Most visitors simply take a cab or Uber/Didi from their hotel. Uber is available in Los Cabos but can be scarce late at night. Taxis book through hotel switches or flag down on main roads (always agree on a fixed fare or use the meter). Many hotels offer shuttle or pre-arranged transfers to Veleros.
**From the airport:** Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) is about 25 km west. A taxi or rental car from the airport takes roughly 30–40 minutes (depending on toll-road vs. free road and time of day). You’ll head northwest out of the airport on Hwy 1, past Cabo San Lucas. Keep in mind the “La Ventana” highway toll point can add travel time in peak season. Downtown San José (Pueblo Mágico) is closest – about 10–15 minutes west of Veleros. If staying elsewhere (e.g. Cabo San Lucas or the Tourist Corridor), plan for a 20–40 min drive to Veleros and possibly to Arroyo after that.
Inside the Venue
Entering Veleros feels like stepping into an upscale beach resort lounge. There’s an open-air reception (no formal lobby) where a host greets you, checks passes/reservations and directs you to your area. The **main bar** is centrally located and can be approached from seated tables or lounge zones. There’s also a small café counter for coffee or snacks. The décor is elegant yet relaxed – think thatched roofs, teak floors, woven accents and lots of natural daylight with uninterrupted sea views. Most seating (dining tables, sofas, sunbeds) faces the ocean. The overall vibe is barefoot-luxury: beachwear is welcome in daytime (bikinis, shorts, flip-flops), while even at night a step above swimwear (resort-casual) is common.
**Food and drink:** Veleros’s full menu focuses on Baja-Med specialties. Expect fresh seafood ceviches (shrimp aguachile, fish tacos), regional grill plates, creative Baja salads, and even some comfort staples like a well-reviewed smash burger. Portions are generous and meant for sharing. A kids’ menu or plate-sharing is available for families. The full bar serves cocktails, wine, local beers and tequilas. Bartenders are skilled in handcrafting beach cocktails (think margaritas, mojitos, micheladas and Baja-fusion creations). Veleros offers complimentary drinking water, and day-pass holders also get free beach towels and sunscreen at no extra cost.
**Restrooms and conveniences:** Restrooms at Veleros are indoors near the lounge areas; they are modern, clean (guests often praise this) and ADA-accessible. There is also an outdoor shower for rinsing off saltwater/sand. Wi-Fi is available, but note the connection on the beach decks can be spotty – cell service (4G) is more reliable here. There is no ATM on-site, so bring some cash for tips or small purchases (cards are accepted throughout). A coat/gear check is provided during big events for valuables or light jackets. Veleros has a tiny gift stand on busy days where you might snag branded caps or tees.
**Policies and essentials:** Veleros enforces standard venue policies. Children and pets (on leash) are welcome in the outdoor dining areas during the day; all afternoon events are family-friendly (www.ticketfairy.com ). However, most late-night parties are 18+ or 21+ (check the ticket) and IDs will be checked at the entrance. Smoking is strictly *only* allowed in designated outdoor areas of the beach; please do not smoke near dining zones. Outside food or drink is not permitted (the day pass already provides dining credit). For safety, note that swimming here is unguided – the waves are usually gentle but supervise kids. Minor injuries (like stubbed toes on coral or sunburn) can be mitigated by wearing beach shoes and applying plenty of sunscreen.
**Arroyo inside:** Steps away after 8pm, Arroyo offers a completely different interior. It’s a dark, atmospheric room lit by neon and video projections on the walls. You’ll find a couple of standard tables, bar stools and two pool tables at Arroyo – otherwise it’s mostly open dance floor. The main attraction is the DJ booth and a sound system solid enough for nightclubbing. Drinks at Arroyo are served at the bar only (expect a small menu of cocktails, beers and shots). Dress at Arroyo is casual downtown-chic (nice tees or straight, but no formal attire needed). Since seating is very limited, most guests stand at Arroyo, so arrive early if you want one of the few stools or booth areas.
Nearby Amenities
The immediate area around Puerto Los Cabos is mostly residential/resort. There is no full supermarket or large shopping plaza right next to Veleros, so plan to come prepared with essentials (or hit a store on the way in town). **Restaurants:** If you stroll 10–15 minutes west into central San José del Cabo, you’ll find the colorful old-town plaza and its dining scene. Locals often recommend spots like *Los Tres Gallos* (for excellent Mexican seafood) or *La Lupita* (for upscale Mexican/Baja cuisine) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Back toward the highway, other favorites include traditional taquerias and an outdoor street market near Plaza Mijares. Further west (toward Cabo San Lucas), world-class resorts offer farm-to-table dining (Flora Farms, Acre, Edith’s, etc.), but these are about a 15-20 minute drive.
**Bars and nightlife:** San José town itself has a handful of bars and lounges in its downtown area (including the late-night La Lupita Bar). Arroyo will be the main late-night music spot you encounter if arriving from Veleros. If a Veleros night out stretches past 2am, Los Cabos city (Cabo San Lucas) has the closest big-club scene, about 30–40 minutes away, but that’s usually last resort.
**Hotels:** Puerto Los Cabos is primarily Villas and timeshares. If you plan to stay near Veleros, options include beachfront resorts like Casa Dorada (about 5 minutes drive north) or newer boutique stays in the complex. Many guests instead choose lodging in downtown San José or Cabo San Lucas and commute back and forth. Offering the most convenience, downtown San José has numerous mid-range hotels and small inns (many within a 10-minute ride of Veleros). Cabo San Lucas has luxury resorts (a 25–40 minute drive). It’s wise to arrive at Veleros events at least 20–30 minutes early to secure parking, especially if you’re coming from a resort or downtown.
What Makes This Venue Special
Veleros Beach Club’s magic is in how it seamlessly combines a beachfront restaurant, a lounge bar and a concert venue all in one stunning setting (www.visitloscabos.travel ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Few places in Los Cabos offer fine dining literally feet from the waves alongside professional DJ sound systems and light shows – it captures the essence of a “Baja getaway” lifestyle (www.visitloscabos.travel ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). Architecturally, Veleros is unique: its multi-tiered design steps down toward the sea, so most tables have ocean views. The wooden jetty (with palapas and cabanas) is one-of-a-kind – you can actually dine or dance *over the water*. The special “Super Tent” (an exclusive private lounge right on the beach) is also a standout feature (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Culturally, Veleros has quickly become a community hotspot. It bridges the local Baja culinary scene with international nightlife. By hosting events like the annual Oyster Festival and bringing in guest chefs and DJs, it has elevated San José del Cabo’s profile on the map of trendy destinations. Locals and visitors alike praise its friendly service and vibrant vibe. One reviewer notes that guests love Veleros for its **unbeatable sunset views and easygoing atmosphere** – an environment where giddiness from the beach and beats from the DJ coexist naturally (www.ticketfairy.com ). In short, Veleros is special because it feels authentically Baja (sunset on the sand, tequila in hand) while offering the quality and excitement of a major nightlife venue (www.visitloscabos.travel ) (www.ticketfairy.com ).
Visitor Tips and Information
• Accessibility: Veleros is largely wheelchair-friendly. There are ramps from the parking lot down to the decks, and at least one fully accessible restroom (www.ticketfairy.com ). Staff are attentive and can move tables or adjust setups for mobility needs. (Arroyo, by contrast, is a small bar on street level and may be harder to access for wheelchairs or strollers.)
• What to bring: Swimsuit, sunglasses, sunblock and a hat are musts for daytime. Pack a beach towel (though Veleros does loan towels for passes (www.ticketfairy.com )). Flip-flops or water shoes are wise – the sand and decks can be uneven. If you plan to swim, a rash guard or sandals will protect against reefs. It’s also smart to have a lightweight cover-up or shawl for the evening (winter nights can get cool after sunset (www.ticketfairy.com )). Bring your ID if you arrive after dark. Cash is good for small tips; otherwise, bring a credit card (Visa/MC/Amex are accepted for most sales).
• What *not* to bring: No outside food or drink is allowed – your day pass credit covers food/drinks at the club. Large backpacks, coolers or non-transparent bags may be searched or asked to check in. Smoking is restricted; only smoke in the designated outdoor area. Drones and professional photo/video gear typically need prior permission (standard cell phone cameras are fine).
• Common mistakes to avoid: Don’t arrive too late. On busy weekends the beach beds and prime tables fill up by late morning – arriving around opening (around 10–11am) will secure better spots. If you have a day pass, plan to use all your dining credit (it can’t be rolled over). Wear sunscreen, and don’t underestimate the hot Baja sun. (Also, avoid wearing business heels – sandals or wedges that won’t sink in sand are best.)
• Weather and season: Veleros is open-air, so events can be affected by weather. Baja is mostly sunny year-round, but if it rains or winds pick up, the club may close parts of the deck or even cancel (staff will notify ticket-holders by phone/email if an event must be called off). In winter months (Dec–Feb) bring a jacket for evenings; in summer bring extra sunblock and water.
• Age policies: Daytime operation is kid-friendly: children are welcome and even celebrated (the Oyster Fest kids under 12 were admitted free (www.ticketfairy.com )). However, most evening parties are adults-only (18+ or 21+), so plan childcare accordingly. IDs are checked for anyone who looks 18 or over at night.
• Tipping: It’s customary to tip 15–20% on food and drink bills. Day pass users should plan to tip servers out of pocket, since the food credit doesn’t include gratuity.
• Connectivity: Wi-Fi is available but not super reliable once you’re on the decks. Expect phone service to cover most needs. If you need to stay connected or bring work, use the indoor lounge areas.
• Transportation late at night: After an event, especially after midnight, taxis and rideshares can be scarce around Puerto Los Cabos. Many guests will pre-arrange a pickup or be content to head into town early. If you plan to continue the night, San José del Cabo’s small downtown (10 min away) has a few late-night bars, or you may taxi to Cabo San Lucas (25–30 min away) for bigger clubs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tickets or passes does Veleros Beach Club offer, and how do I buy them?
Veleros offers *day passes* (for lounge or cabana access) and *event tickets* for parties, plus regular dining reservations. Sunbed day passes (~MXN1200–1400) and cabana passes (~MXN1700–1900) (prices may vary seasonally) come with a built-in food/drink credit (www.ticketfairy.com ). Evening party tickets (for concerts or DJ nights) are sold online via promoters or the club’s site. You can purchase everything in advance through Veleros’ website, OpenTable, or authorized ticket platforms. Note: popular events often sell out, so book early online rather than waiting for door sales.
How much do day passes and cabana passes at Veleros cost, and what do they include?
Day passes typically cost around **MXN 1,400** per person and include about MXN 1,200 in food and drink credit (www.ticketfairy.com ). Cabana/sofa passes are higher (roughly MXN 1,900 each) and must be shared by 3–4 people (with about MXN 1,700 credit). A premium Super Tent lounge pass is around MXN 3,900 per person (with MXN 3,900 credit) (www.ticketfairy.com ). All passes come with towels, water and sunscreen. Use your included credit on the restaurant menu. (Tax and tip are extra on any charges.)
Can I just buy tickets or passes at the door, or do I need to reserve in advance?
Walk-ins are sometimes possible, but advance booking is recommended. Day passes and cabanas can be purchased at the entrance if not sold out. However, during busy season or on weekends, it’s safest to book online or by phone in advance. For evening parties, you almost always need to buy tickets ahead online (there is rarely a box office). In short: reserve day passes and dinner tables on the official site or OpenTable, and get party tickets early – popular events will sell out the week of.
Is Veleros Beach Club family-friendly? Are children and pets allowed?
Yes, Veleros is *very* family-friendly during daytime hours. Children are welcome on the beach and can use high chairs or kids’ menu options; many families spend whole afternoons there. (Even the Oyster Festival was all-ages.) There is no lifeguard on duty, so keep an eye on little swimmers. Leashed pets are also allowed in the outdoor dining areas. At night, however, most parties are age-restricted (usually 18+ or 21+). So you can bring kids or pets for lunch or early dinner, but not to late-night dance events (www.ticketfairy.com ).
What is the dress code at Veleros Beach Club?
Dress here is **casual resort wear**. In the daytime, swimwear and flip-flops are fine (you can lounge and swim right off the sand). For dinner, a “casual elegant” look is common – that means sundresses, nice sandals, polo shirts, summer slacks, etc. People usually wear beach-chic outfits, not formal attire. At night when DJs are playing, the style is relaxed clubwear. In any case, keep it clean and tasteful. The venue won’t turn you away, but very beachy or vintage styles are best.
Do I need a reservation to dine at Veleros Beach Club?
Not strictly, but it’s highly recommended on busy days. If you just want to have lunch or dinner (outside of special ticketed events), you can often walk in and get a table. However, on weekends or holidays, reservations (via Veleros’ website or OpenTable) guarantee you won’t have to wait. Reservations line opens daily from 10am–6pm. For large parties or special celebrations, contact the events team in advance.
What is the address of Veleros Beach Club and how do I get there?
Veleros is located at *“Calle Paseo del Pescador S/N, La Playa”*, in the Puerto Los Cabos resort area of San José del Cabo. In practical terms, drive or taxi to Puerto Los Cabos (off Highway 1) and follow the signs to the coast. It’s about 10–15 minutes east of downtown San José. GPS/Cab drivers recognize “Veleros Beach Club San José del Cabo.” If coming from the airport (SJD) or Cabo San Lucas, take Carretera Transpeninsular (Hwy 1) and exit at Puerto Los Cabos.
Is parking available and free at Veleros Beach Club?
Yes. Veleros has its own parking lot right in front of the venue. Most guests report that parking is *ample and free* during open hours (www.ticketfairy.com ). You can pull up to drop off any guests or supplies if needed. (For after-hours concerts or special events there may be a small valet fee – you can check in advance.) Just plan to arrive 10–15 minutes early to find a spot in very busy periods. Arroyo, by contrast, is downtown and only has street parking.
Can I take public transportation or rideshare to Veleros Beach Club?
There’s no direct public bus to Puerto Los Cabos. The most reliable way is by car or taxi. Uber/Didi operate in Los Cabos but can be unreliable at night or in quieter areas. We recommend pre-booking a taxi or car service from your hotel. If staying in San José town or Cabo San Lucas, arrange a ride early. Some hotels offer shuttle services. After events, Uber or radio taxis may have limited coverage, so plan accordingly.
How far is Veleros Beach Club from the airport or downtown, and how long does it take to get there?
From the Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) it’s about a 30–40 minute drive to Veleros (roughly 25–30 km east). From downtown San José del Cabo (the historic plaza area) it’s only 10–15 minutes by car (10–15 km). From Cabo San Lucas it’s farther – roughly 30–40 minutes (around 40 km via the toll highway). Always allow extra time if there’s highway traffic or a toll booth at La Ventana.
What are the seating options, and are there VIP or reserved areas at Veleros Beach Club?
Veleros offers a mix of general and reserved seating. The main deck (“Arena”) has dining tables and lounge areas (about 130 seats) plus space for standing events (www.ticketfairy.com ). On the sand there are many casual tables and sunbeds (“La Playa” area) for roughly another 100+ diners (www.ticketfairy.com ). VIP or reserved options include private cabanas and tents: Super Tent lounges (~15 seats) and large nest-style cabanas (sold as day passes) with built-in credits (www.ticketfairy.com ) (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you buy a cabana or Super Tent pass, that area is reserved just for you and your group. Otherwise seating and loungers are first-come. During evening events, you may have ticketed zones, but often it’s general admission. For best views of DJs, aim for seatings near the center stage or bar.
Is Veleros Beach Club indoor or outdoor, and what is the best spot to enjoy the venue?
Veleros is primarily **outdoor** (open-air) right on the beach, with just a few covered palapa areas. Even so, you’ll want shade during the day (there are umbrellas and thatch canopies). The best place depends on your vibe: the large central **Arena deck** is the heart of the action with full sea views (great for music and sunsets) (www.ticketfairy.com ). If you want a beachier, closer-to-water experience, grab a sunbed or lounge in the “La Playa” sandy area (www.ticketfairy.com ). The picturesque **jetty** is perfect for a romantic table by the water (www.ticketfairy.com ). Remember that even under cover, Veleros has an open layout – basically everywhere feels like beachfront. Indoors in a traditional sense, only the restrooms and service areas are closed – dining is al fresco.
Are outside food and drinks allowed?
No. Veleros does not allow outside food or beverages. All food and drinks must be purchased on-site. (Day passes already include a food/drink credit, so you’ll have everything covered once you’re inside.) The policy helps keep the beach club safe and comfortable. You may bring an empty reusable bottle or baby formula, but otherwise plan to enjoy Veleros’s menu items only.
Is smoking allowed, and where are the designated areas?
Smoking is **strictly limited** at Veleros. You may only smoke in the specific outdoor smoking area (usually a corner of the deck set aside). All dining tables and beach lounging zones are non-smoking. The staff will direct smokers to the correct spot. (Note: Veleros enforces Mexico’s tobacco laws closely.) Out of courtesy, keep distances if vaping around others. In short, smoking/vaping in public seating areas is not allowed.
What items should I bring and what should I avoid when visiting Veleros Beach Club?
Bring swimwear, sunblock, sunglasses and a hat for daytime— the Baja sun is strong. Light footwear (sandals or water shoes) is wise on the sand. Have some cash and a credit card on hand (cards are accepted; there’s no on-site ATM). You may also want earplugs (some parties get loud) and a reusable bottle of water. Do *not* bring food, drink or large coolers (prohibited). Avoid heavy high heels (the sand and decks are uneven). And always bring an ID if you’ll be there after dark.
Are there age restrictions or IDs required for events at Veleros Beach Club?
During the day Veleros is all-ages: children and teens are welcome (often with families). In evening hours, however, most dance events and concerts are limited to 18+ or 21+ (check each event’s policy). IDs are usually checked upon entry for anyone who looks 18 or older. If you bring kids, make sure to pick an afternoon or family-friendly event. Pets, on the other hand, are only allowed in daytime areas (on leash) — Veleros turns into a kids-and-adults hangout, not pet territory, in the evening.
Are credit cards accepted and is there an ATM on site?
Yes, credit cards are accepted throughout Veleros Beach Club. The restaurant and bar take Visa, MasterCard and AmEx for purchases (www.ticketfairy.com ). For small purchases or tips, you can also pay cash (Mexican pesos or USD might both be accepted, but pesos are best). However, there is no public ATM on-site, so if you need cash it’s wise to bring some with you or withdraw beforehand. (Most people do fine paying by card for all charges and just tipping with any leftover cash.)
What amenities (Wi-Fi, restrooms, etc.) are available at Veleros Beach Club?
Veleros is well-equipped. There are clean, modern restrooms and an outdoor shower for beach use (www.ticketfairy.com ). Free Wi-Fi is offered in indoor areas (though signal may weaken on distant beach decks). If you need to charge devices, bring your own charger; there are limited outlets indoors. The club provides sunscreen and towels for day-pass guests, and an umbrella or shade. There is also a small gift/souvenir kiosk on busy days. A coat/gear check service is available during big events for valuables or extra jackets. In all, you’ll find the basic amenities covered for a resort beach club experience.
What is Arroyo and how is it related to Veleros Beach Club?
Arroyo is a separate nightclub-style bar in San José del Cabo, often paired with Veleros for day-to-night events (www.tripadvisor.com ). In practice, a party might start at Veleros (2–8pm) and then continue at Arroyo (8pm–2am). Arroyo itself is a down-to-earth venue with pool tables, art projections and DJs by night. It’s not physically connected to Veleros – it’s located downtown near Av. Centenario. Think of Arroyo as the after-party location: after enjoying beachfront music at Veleros, guests easily taxi to Arroyo to keep dancing. Each has its own entry/ticket policy.
If an event spans both Veleros (2pm–8pm) and Arroyo (8pm–2am), how should I plan to attend both?
For combined events (often advertised as “Veleros by day and ARROYO by night”), expect to handle the transition yourself. Typically you would start at Veleros in the afternoon, then around 8pm either walk (if Arroyo is nearby) or take a taxi/ride-share to Arroyo for the late-night portion. Make sure to budget travel time (San José del Cabo traffic can pick up). If separate tickets are required, buy both in advance. The venues will not officially transport guests, so pre-arrange a cab or meet-up plan. It can be a fun day-to-night outing, but logistic planning (rides, timing) is up to the attendees.
When should I arrive for popular events to get good seating or avoid lines?
Veleros recommends arriving early, especially on weekend sleep-in mornings. Many “prime” beach loungers fill up by 11am. To secure a good spot on the sand or under an umbrella, aim to arrive close to opening time (10–11am) (www.ticketfairy.com ). For evening concerts, doors often open earlier than 2pm (for example, 1pm or so) – again, get there soon after opening. That way you’ll avoid long entry lines and grab the best tables or vantage points. (Checkout typically starts at the posted time; if unsure, arrive 30 minutes early.)
