Created to revolutionize the experience of an unforgettable vacation, Hotel Xcaret Arte invites adults to explore the wonders of Mexico and the Riviera Maya, all in one place.

Known worldwide for its idyllic white sand beaches and beautiful turquoise sea, this region is a perfect combination of jungle and the Caribbean, the modern and the ancestral, culture and rest. The Riviera Maya and its neighboring destination, Cancun, were recognized in 2021 by the World Travel Awards as the best beach destinations in all of North America.
The art of resting
Staying at Hotel Xcaret Arte is far from a conventional experience. After a comfortable, complimentary transfer, guests arrive at a paradise that integrates nature, contemporary and eco-conscious architecture, sustainability, and art.
The hotel is divided into five casas (houses), providing special activities and workshops, such as weaving, painting, pottery, dance, and literature. Each casa represents a different facet of Mexico’s cultural richness, encouraging guests to express the artisan they have within.
In the Casa del Diseño, guests can enjoy a weaving workshop where they are taught by teachers with generations of ancestral knowledge; the Casa de los Artistas includes a painting workshop; and the Casa de la Pirámide offers a pottery workshop where guests can unleash their creativity and create personalized souvenirs.
Dancing is also a part of Mexico’s artistic wealth, which is why the Casa de la Música offers advanced dance workshops. The Casa de la Paz hosts a workshop for literature lovers, and the Casa del Patrón invites guests to immerse themselves in its coffee shop to discover the exquisite notes of Mexican coffee, which ranked 12th in world exports in 2018.
The rooms reflect the hotel’s artistic concept. With exclusive handcraft decorations created by local workers, Hotel Xcaret Arte embodies the country’s rich cultural heritage. Elements such as embroidery, nest lamps, and other traditional designs are showcased around the hotel.
Some of the casas have rooftop bars, from which guests can enjoy views of the Riviera Maya, while sipping cocktails. For those looking for a more daring atmosphere, the hotel has a speakeasy (El Deseo) bar, where America’s roaring 20s are evoked through its unmistakable Art Deco décor.
Hotel Xcaret Arte is a hub for major cultural, musical, gastronomic, and festive events, thanks to a theater for shows and two convention centers located in the Casa del Patrón. It offers a capacity for around 2,000 people for larger functions, including several smaller, welcoming spaces for more focused work sessions. Additionally, facing the waters of the Mexican Caribbean is the Ecumenical Temple, where different types of ceremonies are performed.
