Located on a stretch of white sand beach and Caribbean Sea approximately 45 minutes from Cancun, Hotel Xcaret Arte will open its doors on July 1st with 900 suites, nine restaurants, a spa, five distinct immersive cultural experiences, multiple pools, and expansive events and convention facilities.
The new luxury resort is an adult-oriented resort welcoming guests 16 years and older, and it is designed and built by 100% Mexican talent and infused with passion and respect for the surrounding Mayan region. In both form and function, the resort pays homage to Mexican art in its various iterations and will highlight the most important symbols of the country’s culture through the creation of five distinct Casas. Each Casa will be inspired by Mexican traditions and provide guests with the opportunity to explore and engage with the country’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 will inspire guests to paint, Casa de la Pirámide will explore Mexico’s rich and diverse pottery traditions, and Casa de la Paz, with cooking workshops specializing in vegan cuisine. Additionally, Casa del Patrón will serve as the resort’s main event and convention space.
