Nestled along the pristine shores of the Riviera Maya, Fairmont Mayakoba is not just a luxury resort, it’s also a captivating journey into the heart of Mexican culture. Here are some ways to appreciate and learn about the destination during your stay.
RING IN THE NEW YEAR WITH LUIS MIGUEL
Renowned Mexican artist Luis Miguel will be bringing his magnetic stage presence to Fairmont Mayakoba, which just in time to ring in the New Year in style. One of the world’s most popular Latin entertainers, Miguel’s musical style spans multiple genres including pop, ballads, boleros, mariachi and more. The performance at Mayakoba, which is an exclusive added date to his 2023 tour, will be an intimate one for just 7000 lucky guests and it’s expected to sell out quickly. However, when you book your stay you will get two tickets for the concert.
TAKE A CULINARY EXPEDITION THROUGH MEXICO’S DIVERSE GASTRONOMY
Fairmont Mayakoba makes it easy to savour authentic Mexican dishes prepared with locally sourced ingredients. Head to La Cantina for the chance to sample some traditional Mexican “antojitos” (snacks) including chalupas, tortas and ceviche. Don’t miss the house margarita or the many fine tequilas and mezcals on offer. La Laguna puts a contemporary twist on traditional Mexican dishes without losing any authenticity. Try the charred pineapple mole or the Yucatan octopus. They both pack a flavourful punch. La Laguna also offers taco-making classes every Thursday and Saturday at 2 p.m.
RELAX AT FAIRMONT SPA
With a mystical backdrop that blends the textures, colours, and scents of ancient Mayan culture, Fairmont Spa is the ultimate place to unwind. Overlooking the Yucatan rainforest, spa treatments, and therapies here combine modern techniques with centuries-old Mayan wisdom. It also includes local herbs, essential oils and extracts. Opt for a massage under a candlelit open-air cabana or a rejuvenating facial. Additionally, immerse yourself in local culture with the Cha Chac Rain Ritual, which is based on an ancient Mayan tradition.
FEEL THE EMBRACE OF WARM MEXICAN HOSPITALITY
From the moment you arrive, a traditional “Bienvenidos” (welcome) will set the tone for your visit. As a matter of fact, that genuine warmth will continue throughout your entire stay. In addition, the hotel’s commitment to sustainability is an important reflection of Mexican values toward environmental stewardship. The property’s close alliance with Preferred by Nature allows them to conserve, reduce waste, source local food. It also allows them to preserve the local environment, including the pristine mangrove forests surrounding the property. See them up close with a local guide on a complimentary tour.
CELEBRATE DIA OF THE DEAD (DIA DE LOS MUERTOS)
Dia de los Muertos is a sacred time in Mexico and is also a fantastic opportunity to experience the history and local traditions of the day. At Fairmont Mayakoba, guests can partake in a stunning experience below the surface, including an otherworldly ‘Symphony in a Cenote’. Follow candlelit passageways into a subterranean cavern for a one-of-a-kind musical journey celebrating Mexico’s Day of the Dead.
All in all, combine a relaxing beach vacation with the chance to truly immerse yourself in local culture.
