Instead of isolating itself as a traditional luxury resort, Xcaret Arte seamlessly blends the beauty of its natural surroundings into its overall design. Rather than using its location as mere background scenery, the resort fully embraces the landscape, incorporating it into every aspect of the guest experience.
This thoughtful approach has become a hallmark of Grupo Xcaret, the parent company behind Hotel Xcaret Arte. The group is known for its immersive eco-parks throughout the region, and they’ve brought the same concept to life at this resort. By combining eco-conscious design with a deep dive into Mexican art and culture, Hotel Xcaret Arte offers an all-inclusive experience that connects travelers with the essence of Mexico. From cultural festivals to unique architectural features, the resort continually fulfills its mission of promoting the country’s rich artistic heritage. Six main buildings, known as casas, each focus on a different Mexican cultural craft, with themes ranging from textiles to music and gastronomy. It’s no wonder that this resort, alongside its sister properties Hotel Xcaret Mexico and La Casa de la Playa, consistently ranks among the top resorts as voted by Travel + Leisure readers.
Hotel Xcaret Arte boasts 900 suites spread across the six casas, each designed with a contemporary Mexican aesthetic. Expect stylish wooden furniture, polished marble, and vibrant textiles that give the rooms a lively yet sophisticated feel. Mexican artisans contribute to the décor, and local producers supply the luxury toiletries. With 20 different room types across seven categories, there’s a range of accommodations to suit every traveler. While most suites are similar in size at 646 square feet, slight layout variations and additional perks—like daily restocked minibars, Nespresso machines, and nightly treats—make each stay unique. Upgraded options include oceanfront views, spa suites with steam showers and volcanic stone tubs, and swim-up suites featuring private plunge pools.
One of the standout features of Xcaret Arte is its impressive culinary program, which showcases the diversity and richness of Mexican cuisine. Nearly all of the resort’s 10 restaurants are included in the all-inclusive package, with each casa offering different dining experiences. Whether you’re craving a late-night taco run or a multi-course meal prepared by a celebrity chef, Xcaret Arte delivers. Food lovers will be in heaven with dishes that celebrate Mexico’s culinary heritage, from fresh ceviche and handmade tortillas to slow-roasted cochinita pibil.
For those seeking a casual yet elevated dining experience, Mercado de San Juan redefines the typical buffet by offering a vibrant food hall filled with a variety of vendors serving regional dishes. Guests can enjoy everything from grilled prawns and elote to octopus al pastor, accompanied by fresh fruit and tangy guacamole. The culinary experience here is as much about the atmosphere as it is about the food, making it a must-visit spot during your stay.
In addition to its diverse dining options, Xcaret Arte offers plenty of amenities to ensure a memorable vacation. The resort features four rooftop pools with bars, a sprawling infinity pool with a swim-up bar, bike rentals, two gyms, and an outdoor jungle training circuit. Guests can also unwind at the luxurious spa or explore the property through guided art tours. For those who love capturing memories, there are 19 designated selfie spots around the resort, where guests can scan their wristbands and pose for professional photos.
As part of the all-inclusive experience, guests also receive unlimited access to Xcaret’s renowned eco-parks, including Xcaret, Xel-Há, Xplor, and others. With free transportation to these parks and additional perks like sunset catamaran tours to Isla Mujeres, Hotel Xcaret Arte goes above and beyond to offer guests a truly immersive and unforgettable stay.
