XCARET, RIVIERA MAYA — Grupo Xcaret is counting down the days until the grand opening of Hotel Xcaret Arte, its second hotel project located between Cancun and Tulum, Mexico.
Set to debut on July 1, 2021, the 900-suite resort marks the first of Grupo Xcaret’s hotels designed exclusively for adults, with seven restaurants, a spa, five distinct cultural experiences, multiple pools and expansive events and convention facilities. It will also boast 10 bars and lounges spread throughout the property, including the speakeasy bar ‘Deseo’ where guests can enjoy live jazz entertainment.
Designed and built by 100% Mexican talent, the new resort pays homage to Mexican art through the creation of five distinct Casas, each of which will provide guests with the chance to explore Mexico’s heritage and nature. The Casas include: Casa del Diseño, a textile workshop offering weaving lessons; Casa de la Música with dance instruction; Casa de los Artistas, which will inspire guests to paint; Casa de la Pirámide, which will explore diverse pottery traditions; and Casa de la Paz, featuring cooking workshops specializing in vegan cuisine. Additionally, casa del Patrón will serve as the resort’s main event and convention space.
Here are additional details:
