At Gitano, guests step into an enchanting environment that reflects the brand’s free-spirited ethos. British-born founder James Gardner, who has thrived in NYC since the 1990s, envisioned creating a space that embodies elegance and leisure. He first introduced the Gitano concept to Tulum Beach in 2013, combining a giant disco ball and a pink neon sign to create an unforgettable atmosphere. With the motto “Live a Little, Be a Gypsy, Get Around,” visitors feel as if they have been transported to Mexico’s lush jungles and charming colonial towns, where creativity and freedom flourish.

The design of Gitano is inspired by the Yucatán Peninsula’s natural beauty and rich cultural heritage. The new location features a stunning beach lounge adorned with the iconic disco ball, a Jungle Room dining area, and an inviting indoor/outdoor wood pergola. The rooftop Jungle Bar offers breathtaking sunset views and a perfect backdrop for admiring the Burj Khalifa. Gitano Dubai promises a luxurious beachside escape, complete with exceptional dining and a lively party atmosphere that showcases a diverse array of musical talent.
