About
Dining at Navios offers an unforgettable dining experience where succulent seafood, stunning lagoon setting, and vivid sunsets are the norm.
Navios translates into English as a "large ship" associated with vessels from a bygone era that brought food and delicacies to other ports. This notion is at the heart of the restaurant, where guests sail aboard a menu reflecting worldwide influences.
The eatery serves what they describe as Mexican Fusion Seafood in an elegant yet relaxed ambiance. Dining here is perfect for romantic dinners, family gatherings, or special occasions.
The restaurant serves off-the-boat fresh, high-quality seafood that incorporates global influences. The menu is rich with twists on familiar dishes, which will appeal to foodies worldwide. Whether you're indulging in fresh ceviche or their famous coconut shrimp, every bite reflects careful preparation and respect for natural ingredients.
What sets it apart is the unique setting. Guests dine on charming wooden decks stretching into the water and covered by Mayan-inspired palapas. Here, diners have panoramic views of the lagoon, which is magical at sunset.
Its location near area attractions makes combining a day of fun with a relaxing meal easy. For instance, the Puerto Maya Cancun-Jungle Tour is nearby on the same lagoon, while Dolphins Beach is a short drive away. The combination of attractions leads to endless possibilities.
When your vacation requires authentic, fresh seafood in a refreshing setting, add Navios to your to-do list.
Vibe
The vibe exudes Cancun’s spirit, where elegance and a laid-back vibe coexist. The rustic wooden decks in the Nichupté Lagoon blend nature and sophistication. Add the ambient lighting and the water lapping against the stilts, and the setting is ripe for a memorable dining experience.
Natural materials, such as the thatched roofs of the palapas, add Mayan authenticity to the meal, further enhancing the open-air structure.
The dining areas maximize the breathtaking views, with tables spaced to offer comfort and privacy. By day, the restaurant is bathed in natural light, while it transforms into a romantic sanctuary at night.
Whether you're looking for a romantic evening, a relaxing family dinner, or a place to unwind after a day at Sky Wheel Cancun, Navios welcomes you with a serene atmosphere.
