Experience Día de los Muertos in a truly meaningful way at Las Ventanas al Paraíso, A Rosewood Resort. Nestled between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, this world-renowned resort is bringing the spirit of the holiday to life with a celebration rooted in art, culture, and heartfelt remembrance.
From October 31 to November 2, Las Ventanas will transform into an immersive tribute to the sacred Mexican holiday known for honoring loved ones who have passed. This year’s theme shines a spotlight on two of Mexico’s most revered cultural icons: Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. These legendary artists – famous for their bold works, passion, and influence – will serve as muses for a weekend of deeply authentic, colorful experiences.
On November 1, guests can indulge in a special five-course tasting menu at the resort’s signature restaurant, Alebrije. Named after the fantastical creatures of Mexican folk art, Alebrije offers the perfect setting for a culinary celebration of Kahlo and Rivera’s heritage.
Each dish will be inspired by the favorite foods and cultural traditions of the famed couple. The evening will also include live marimba music, a mariachi band, folkloric dancers, and alebrije stilt walkers, creating a feast for all the senses in a magical setting.
In keeping with Día de los Muertos customs, the resort will also feature interactive altars (ofrendas) where guests can pay their respects to departed loved ones. These beautifully adorned altars will be surrounded by thousands of vibrant cempasúchil (marigold) flowers, candles, and traditional decorations, offering space for reflection and remembrance.
Families and younger guests can take their experience a step further with face painting by a professional makeup artist, available on November 1. The traditional skull designs (calaveras) are a beloved part of the holiday and offer a fun and meaningful way to engage with the cultural celebration.
Known for its exceptional service, stunning ocean views, and understated elegance, Las Ventanas al Paraíso offers a backdrop unlike any other for this soulful and artistic celebration. This weekend promises to be an unforgettable journey into Mexican culture and hospitality. Learn more at rosewoodhotels.com.
