Kin Ha, Park of Dreams: the beachless beach club

A beachless beach club? Such is the concept of Kin Ha. This is a restaurant, water park, and hotel complex located on Isla Mujeres, Mexico. The complex is located on the south end of the island, about a 7-minute taxi ride from the ferry dock. It offers a variety of activities, including swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, paddleboarding, and the always reliable sunset watching. Here are some tips on Kin Ha Park of Dreams.

Where is Kin Ha?

Kin Ha is south of Isla Mujeres. Just off the coast of Cancun, this is a captivating island destination that offers a wealth of attractions and natural beauty. The island boasts stunning beaches with turquoise waters. These are perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and snorkeling. Take a stroll along the vibrant streets of downtown. There you’ll find charming shops, restaurants, and local markets offering handmade crafts and delicious cuisine. Discover the fascinating history of the island at the Punta Sur Sculpture Garden and the nearby Mayan temple ruins of El Meco. Explore the underwater wonders of the MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte) underwater museum. This museum features a collection of submerged sculptures that have become an integral part of the marine ecosystem. At the end of the day, don’t miss the opportunity to witness the breathtaking sunset views from Punta Sur. This is the southernmost tip of the island.

Kin Ha is just close to Punta Sur and Garrafon Park. It’s not the easiest place to get to, but your time here will be much worth it. Plus, if you’d like to spend the night, the Casa de los Sueños hotel is right next door.

The check at Kin Ha

Payment in Kin Ha is not like in other places. Here, you make an advance payment when you arrive which gives you access to enjoy the facilities; swim, eat, drink, and have fun. At the end of the day, they’ll tally your check and charge you for the amount you might’ve gone over your initial payment. This lets you enjoy yourself without having to worry about how much the final check is going to be. You’ve already paid!

What to do at Kin Ha Park of Dreams?

One inescapable thing about Kin Ha is, it is a beach club without a beach. Instead, what they’ve done is, they’ve built a long pier with a couple of pool-like access points to step down to the ocean. Alternatively, you can use the swing at the end of the pier or the inflatable trampoline to splash in the water. It’s calm and transparent, so bring a mask and snorkel (Kin Ha has some you can use), or glide on it on a kayak or paddleboard.

Should you want to swim in freshwater, Kin Ha has three pools: one for kids, with a water slide; another, for adults, next to the bar, from where you can order drinks; the third is an infinite pool, for the view.

Kin Ha’s Restaurant

There’s variety at Kin Ha’s restaurant. You can have a typical Mexican dish or an American burger. Eat and drink in one of the ocean-view terraces. One look at Kin Ha’s pier, in the middle of the transparent ocean, and the name “park of dreams” will make all the sense in the world.
