Fifteen workshops.

Paint your palm hat

You decorate a real palm hat with paint, ribbon, flowers and sequins. An artist walks you through it step by step: you learn the technique, you pick the design, and you leave with a piece nobody else has. It's the workshop that shows up most on social media, because people wear the result for the rest of the trip.

Paint your beach bag

You customize a bag in canvas or vegan leather with printing, paint and stamps. You pick the base, you pick the design, and an artisan works alongside you. It's an accessory people actually use, not a souvenir that ends up in a drawer.

Painting with a glass in hand

The loose version of the canvas workshop: you paint with a glass in hand, following an artist, no pressure and no drawing skills required. It works just as well at sunset facing the water as it does in a closed room. It's the format that breaks the ice fastest with groups who don't know each other.

Paint a piece of ceramic

You put color on a blank ceramic piece with glazes and acrylic markers, following the artist. The piece is fired to set the color, so it doesn't rub off or fade with use. It's the quietest workshop in the catalog and the one that works best with adults.

Make your own candle

You melt soy wax, pick from more than ten tropical fragrances, add color and decorate the mold. Every candle comes out different, and each one goes home packed so it gets there in one piece. It's the most sensory workshop in the catalog: the whole room smells like it afterward.

Build your own seven-point piñata

You learn where the piñata comes from and what its seven points mean, then build yours from scratch with cardboard, paste and tissue paper. It's long, it's messy, and it's the one families enjoy most. It leaves in one piece, ready to hang.

Paint your own piece

You learn the basics of acrylic, color mixing and composition, and you make your own piece. It doesn't matter if you've never painted: the artist takes it step by step and the canvas leaves with you. Set up with easels facing the water, it's another thing entirely.

A mug that gets used every day

You turn a blank mug into something else with ceramic paints and fine brushes. Patterns pulled from nature, from Mexican art, or from whatever you come up with. The mug is fired so the color sets for good.

Tie-dye, stencils and fabric paint

Tie-dye, stencil printing and fabric paint on a cotton t-shirt. Strong colors, patterns drawn from Mexican culture, and something you can wear that same night. It works for every age in the room at once.

Embroidery, pins and fabric paint

You customize a cotton cap with embroidery, pins and fabric paint. It's the street cousin of the hat workshop: same move, different look, different crowd. It lands well with younger groups.

Watercolor, dried flowers and ribbon

You decorate a handmade fan with watercolor, dried flowers and ribbon. It's the finest of them and the quickest to set up, so it slots into a tight hotel calendar without much notice.

Knots that turn into an object

You learn the base knots (square, spiral and half hitch), combine them into weaves and geometric shapes, and finish with a complete piece: a wall hanging, a plant hanger or a bracelet. It's the slowest workshop and the most meditative.

Chaquira beads on Campeche wax

One of Mexico's most recognizable art forms. You press chaquira beads into Campeche wax to build symbolic patterns, and along the way you learn what each one means. It carries more cultural content than anything else in the catalog.
