Strategically situated at the tail end of the most beautiful beach in the Riviera Maya, The House of AïA brings us Palmaïa, an exclusive beach enclave focused on connecting us to nature, ourselves, and the sanctity of life.

Every effort was taken to ensure the original landscape remains untouched to feel the healing authenticity of old-growth trees and naturally occurring, cool-water cenotes.
All guests reside in ocean-front suites: some with swim-out access to the infinity pools, others with sweeping views of the sea, and a few nestled among the ocean-side mangroves.
Guests also enjoy high-end amenities without sacrificing environmentally friendly practices, while the restaurants offer the best cuisine in the region, extensive plant-based options, and impeccable style.
But even still, the real jewels are the Architects of Life and Sound programs.
AïA is here
We refer to AïA as our connection to nature. A double-sided mirror to our true, inner selves. She is harmony and disruption, the source, the circle of life, the root of meaning, and the giver of purpose.

Architects of Life

Visiting Gurus, travelling seers, and ancient knowledge form a cradle of wisdom from which we all adapt and learn, as one cannot love nature if one does not love oneself...
Their Architects of Life program is curated and led by their in-house Shaman, Balder. It will encompass an array of rituals and practices for everyone to join in and learn; unfolding at different locations and times throughout the week. It is the most comprehensive personal growth program ever offered before at any resort on earth.
Palmaïa's aim to connect to ourselves, to our tribe, and to AïA through deep personal exploration of the physical and the subconscious.
Rituals of Sound
PHOTOS: Music & Sound is a key component of your experience at Palmaïa Resort vacation
There is something mysterious about feeling beats of music in raw form: they transpose us, they transport us, they set us free, while at the same time grounding us and connecting us to one another. They nourish our hearts with the echoes of ancient rhythms that began in the caves of Africa and the valleys of Mesopotamia.
Every week Palmaïa curates deep beats to reawaken the sacred DNA of our ancestors with the latest in deep fusion electronic music and visiting guest DJs playing in tandem with acoustic live instruments.
Rites of Passage, Love & Devotion
(Weddings, Proposals and Vow Renewals)

journeys along a single path, the collective celebrate their vows.

Rites of romance. Rites of devotion. Rites of love. Celebrations by morning, noon, and long into the night. Intimate, crowded, or exquisitely private…
The eternal promise of two lives leaping together into the unknown. Whether lovingly planned in exquisite detail or ravished in rapturous surprise, they'll help you to make manifest your proposal with the utmost respect and care.

A PLANT-BASED LIFE
PHOTO: Vegans can enjoy their own menu at each of the four (4) restaurants on-site as well as the food truck daily at Palmaïa Resort
To live at the House of AïA is to live in conscious balance with all living things.
It is to test old boundaries and forge new ones, that can help us to resolve our contemporary paradox: improve our quality of life, without damaging others, whether plant, animal, or human.
This is the perfect resort for vegan travellers!
What does Palamaïa mean by plant-based?
People interpret vegan as eating no animals or animal by-products… but it’s much more.
PHOTOS: Various dishes on Palmaïa's Plant-Based Menu
Veganism is a declaration of non-violence:
- towards yourself by eliminating the toxic foods that slowly kill you;
- towards animals, birds, and fish by eliminating all unnecessary suffering brought about as part of the modern food chain;
- towards the planet, because the animal food industry is the leading cause of planetary environmental degradation and global climate change.
A Guilt-free Holiday

Explore conscientious choices through plant-based menus and animal-product-free rooms.
It’s really quite simple, by removing everything we consume that is destructive, we align ourselves with AïA.
The choices we make define our future, as individuals and as an ecosystem.
If food is the fuel of life, choosing it wisely empowers us to heal the world.

Zero Plastic Bottles
That’s right. Sometimes to go forward, we need to take a step back. At Palmaïa we have protected our connection to nature by eliminating plastic bottles from the property. Instead, a personal, limited edition vessel waits for you on arrival, to refill and hydrate to your heart’s content.
Carbon Neutral
We strive to become one of the first carbon-neutral resorts in the world, by leasing our energy from solar panels and other renewable sources. It doesn’t hurt that we use 50% less energy than the average resort. But don’t worry, during hot days air-conditioning keeps us refreshed, cool, and happy.
Natural Living by Design
Instead of finding balance with nature, builders often level the landscape and then selectively replant, even importing non-native fauna. Here, great care has been taken to safeguard the property’s natural landscape during construction. As an example, we maintained our dense mangroves and continue to protect our namesake, the palma chît, from extinction.
