How to experience Mexican culture, cuisine and nightlife without leaving your resort

They don’t call it decision fatigue for nothing. Making choices is hard work and, quite frankly, the last thing you want to do when you’re on vacation. If you’re planning a Mexican getaway, experiencing a vibrant adults-exclusive atmosphere is likely high on the agenda. But then so is a trip packed with local food, music, culture and everything else that makes Mexico one of the hottest vacation destinations around.

The good news? Bahia Principe Escape Tequila sidesteps this common conundrum altogether.

Situated on the spectacular shores of the Mayan Riviera, the new all-inclusive, adults-only Bahia Principe Escape Tequila is a unique destination where vibrant Mexican culture, cuisine and entertainment are always at the heart of your stay. Having opened its doors this past December, the resort draws its inspiration from Mayan heritage and architecture. Think warm tones, tiled details and traditional artwork—all set among palm trees and turquoise pools.

While some hotels leave you feeling like you could be just about anywhere, Bahia Principe Escape Tequila delivers a rich and lively local experience the moment you reach the resort. Whether you’re taking a solo trip, travelling with a partner or hoping to party with a big group of friends, leave it to the Bahia Principe Escape Tequila to create moments you’ll be talking about long after your vacation ends.

Move over, taco Tuesday

Chilaquiles for breakfast, tacos and guacamole on the beach, sunset margaritas—Mexican cuisine is undoubtedly one of the country’s biggest draws.

And starting with made-to-order Mexican breakfast specialties from the elaborate international buffet at Cozumel Restaurant every morning, the all-inclusive Bahia Principe Escape Tequila offers no shortage of opportunities to get your fill of the fresh, exciting flavours of Mexico.

The soul of the resort, La Casita is the Bahia Principe Escape Tequila’s tribute to Mexican cuisine. By day, it’s a relaxed taco and tequila bar serving up some of the best tacos al pastor around. By night, it’s where the party lives. Sing, toast and enjoy cantina-style snacks paired with creative cocktails unique to the resort. Then dive into a street food extravaganza where you’ll have the opportunity to taste your way through authentic dishes from the Mayan Riviera and beyond.

If you’re especially looking to sample some local favourites, try marquesitas, a dessert unique to the Yucatan Peninsula consisting of thin waffle-like crepes filled with cajeta (goat milk caramel) or chocolate. And yes, if you’re craving more tacos, those are available, too (can you really ever get enough?).

The resort also features international options, from à la carte barbeque at The Smoked to delicate Japanese-Peruvian flavours at Nikkei Mashua.

Experience the true Mayan Riviera

The white sand beaches and warm, turquoise Caribbean Sea are as integral to the Mayan Riviera as its cenotes and ancient ruins, and vacationing at Bahia Principe Escape Tequila unlocks them all.

While such iconic sites and towns as Chichen Itza and Tulum are nearby, you don’t have to leave the resort to enjoy the region’s greatest gift: the beach. Such activities as snorkelling and non-motorized water sports can all be enjoyed onsite.

In recent years, the Tulum area has become more than just a beach destination—it’s a whole lifestyle. Trendsetters flock to Tulum for its vibes and iconic nightlife, and one of the most unique features of Bahia Principe Escape Tequila is that it brings the fiesta that is Tulum to you.

Every day is a celebration

Whether it’s innovative venues or high-energy live music performances, every aspect of the spaces and programming at Bahia Principe Escape Tequila is thoughtfully infused with local colour. La Casita de los Despechados, also known as the Temple of Heartbroken Madness, is a one-of-a-kind experience where you can share stories and sing your heart out.

Guests are encouraged to celebrate all of life’s moments with dancing, tequila and maybe even a few new friends along the way. Plus, don’t forget about the biggest draw: pool parties, complete with DJs and performers, themed around the local culture, from the equinox to the underworld. If you’ve ever wanted to see a high-energy neon night like no other, this is your opportunity.
