The art workshops at Hotel Xcaret Arte, an experience not to be missed

Learn about the unique experiences offered by this sanctuary of Mexican art and culture 

In each of the Casas that make up the imposing Hotel Xcaret Arte, there is an art workshop that invites you to discover, learn, practice and create. 

Opportunities like this are unmissable, since they appear less and less frequently in our busy lives, we’re so occupied with our day-to-days, sometimes we’re prevented from doing what really moves and frees us. 

Read on to learn more about the art workshops available at Hotel Xcaret Arte.

Among a collection of vintage sewing machines, looms and handmade garments, members and guests can delve into the secrets of Mexican artisan embroidery, creating original and colorful works, ranging from bracelets to hipiles (traditional female gowns).

Music and dance are joy to the soul, mind and body. By participating in this workshop, members and guests will learn or perfect various musical rhythms such as salsa or bachata, and then put their skills and movements into practice in places such as El Deseo or Cantina VI.AI.PY., which offer an excellent repertoire of live music. 

Each genre has its own space, with a maximum number of eight people:
