Imagine this: your toes in the warm sand, breeze in your hair, and a cocktail in hand as you soak up the sun at a Mediterranean-style beach club. For those seeking the energy of Europe's iconic beach clubs but want something closer to home, here are three North American beach clubs that offer world-class culinary experiences, exclusivity, and high-energy ambiance.
From the masterminds behind Bonito St. Barts comes Bonito Beach Club at Banyan Tree Bimini, an American Riviera-style restaurant with yachting and tender services, perfect for those making the quick trip from South Florida. At Costa Palmas in Los Cabos, Michelin-starred Chef Ludo Lefebvre offers his signature Niçoise cuisine at the Delphine Day Club complete with champagne sabering. The Strand, Turks and Caicos’ The DelMar offers coastal-inspired cuisine, stylish cabanas, and elevated bar services.
These three clubs offer seamless access from the U.S. but deliver an experience that rivals the most sought-after beach scenes in St. Tropez or Mykonos.

Delphine Day Club debuted last summer at Costa Palmas by Michelin-Star Chef Ludo Lefebvre. Delphine offers a vibrant destination experience adjacent to the Costa Palmas Marina with an unparalleled culinary journey, offering a fresh locale for members and Four Seasons Resort Los Cabos and soon-to-be Amanvari guests to indulge, lounge, and dance beachside. Delphine features Chef Ludo’s renowned Niçoise cuisine alongside handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits, and a robust wine and champagne list. Delphine offers champagne sabering upon advanced request.
The DelMar at The Strand | Turks and Caicos
The Strand Turks and Caicos opened in November 2024 as part of the Leading Hotels of the World Network and hotel guests get access to The DelMar Club, where they can enjoy coastal-inspired cuisine, elevated bar service, stylish cabanas and more without ever leaving the beach. Additional Club services include unmatched water excursions spanning snorkeling, island hopping, boat tours, whale watching and fishing from the resort’s exclusive marina; complimentary kayak or paddleboarding from The Strand’s shores; beachfront yoga or a workout class; and other tailored, VIP services.
