El Pueblito Masterclass

The festivities start on October 29 with the Masterclass at El Pueblito. It’s a replica of a classic Mexican village located at the heart of the Mayakoba complex. The class is a collaboration between two Michelin-starred chefs, Roberto Alcocer and Esteban Lluis. Guests will get the chance to explore the culinary side of Mexican culture in a setting inspired by the country’s historic towns and villages.

Symphony in a Cenote

The following evening takes things in a decidedly different direction. Symphony in a Cenote on October 30 brings live classical music underground, to one of Mexico’s most culturally important and well-known geological wonders. The otherworldly cenote setting will provide a dramatic backdrop for the performance, along with excellent natural acoustics. In addition to the concert, the package includes canapés, transportation to and from the resort and a bottle of champagne.

Six-Hands Dinner

On October 31, the focus returns to food. A Six-Hands Dinner brings together Roberto Alcocer, Esteban Lluis and a Fairmont culinary expert for an evening of collaborative cooking. Hosted at one of the resort’s signature restaurants, the dinner is another opportunity to experience the property through its renowned culinary program. Multiple chefs will work together to highlight Mexico’s diverse ingredients and vibrant flavours.

Día de Muertos

The series of special events concludes November 1 with one of Mexico’s most meaningful cultural traditions. Día de Muertos is a sacred time in the country and a fantastic opportunity to experience local history and traditions. The Souls & Legends dinner at La Laguna invites guests to celebrate the occasion with an evening meal overlooking the mangroves. A decorative altar will be part of the experience, allowing visitors to learn more about this important tradition centred on remembering and honouring loved ones. The altar will be decorated with photographs, candles, marigolds and offerings. It’s a way to commemorate and welcome back the spirits of those who have left us in a way that is both joyful and respectful.

The resort combines airy, contemporary design with luxury amenities and nods to Mexican culture. Guests can enjoy the spa, pools, Greg Norman-designed golf course and a range of dining and bar options. All while remaining close to Riviera Maya’s white sand beaches and other attractions.
