An exciting new addition to Rosewood Mayakoba was recently unveiled: the ultra-luxury resort in Riviera Maya introduced La Ceiba Garden & Kitchen, the 20,000 square foot dining concept that introduces an innovative type of culinary experience to the region.

The al-fresco amenity is designed as an interactive environment for guests to partake in cooking demonstrations, tastings and even foraging for their own produce from over 45 types of organic vegetation to create exquisite delicacies with unmistakable Mexican flare. La Ceiba also features a Garden Mixologist, an on-property expert who directs a seasonal cocktail program.

La Ceiba’s introduction to Rosewood Mayakoba coincides with the release of Sense of Taste, a culinary program that invites guests to embark on a gastronomic journey that awakens the senses and explores the beauty and deep-seeded traditions of the Riviera Maya.

For guests seeking an authentic, insider’s look into the culinary life of the region, Rosewood Mayakoba now offers several unique ‘Epicurean Encounters’ designed to encourage participants to step out of their comfort zone and discover nearby farms and artisans first-hand. These experiences range from visiting a local bee farm where honey is harvested using the same method invented by ancient Mayans to a family-owned handmade tortilla factory where guests can interact with locals who still speak the Mayan dialect.
