Día de Muertos is one of Mexico’s most vibrant traditions, a time when altars glow, mezcal flows, and communities honor their loved ones with music and art. This year celebrate the holiday in extraordinary ways across Mexico:

  • Mondrian Mexico City Condesa hosts a Día de los Muertos Party with Mezcal Unión on October 31, featuring a DJ-curated soundtrack, themed cocktails like the Corazón Ahumado, and a Pan de Muerto Takeover with Xolo Café and a Texcoco bakery.
    Guests can also visit a handcrafted ofrenda by Ximusa honoring Mexico’s ancestral heritage, and for those wishing to embrace the spirit fully, professional Catrina face painting and an optional photoshoot experience will be available on-site.
  • La Casa de la Playa in the Riviera Maya offers exclusive access to the Festival of Traditions of Life and Death at Xcaret from October 30 to November 2, plus two extraordinary dinners: Martha Ortiz x Casa Dragones on November 1st and Hermanos Rivera Río & Adrián Peregrina x Patrón on November 2, inspired by the Monarch butterfly’s migration from Monterrey to the Riviera Maya.
  • In Los Cabos, Mexico Grand Hotels keeps traditions alive with Catrina face painting, sugar skull decorating, and a lively Catrinas Night celebration with live music at Hacienda Encantada.

  • At the same time, sister property Vista Encantada offers a more intimate setting with full access to the festivities.
