Marriott International Caribbean & Latin America recently shared some of summer’s most sought-after luxury travel experiences across its Caribbean and Latin American properties. The brand found guests continually seek thoughtfully curated stays that allow them to experience the destination beyond the hotel. From mixing exciting cities with secluded coastlines to participating in hands-on cultural programming, Marriott reveals travelers are going deeper than ever … and it’s answering the demand across its hotels.

Multi-Stop Trips: City to Coast

Travelers make more out of their vacations by combining multiple destinations into one trip. The Ritz-Carlton Mexico City, for instance, above Chapultepec Park with views of the historic Chapultepec Forest and city skyline, provide guests with luxury guestrooms, destination inspired-spa treatments, a Cacao Ceremony rooted in ancient Mesoamerican tradition, and access to popular cultural sites like Chapultepec Castle and Monument and Cuauhtémoc.

Siari Riviera Nayarit, a Ritz-Carlton Reserve, meanwhile, gives guests a slower, more personalized approach to a vacation. Located between the Sierra Madre mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the hotel celebrates Mexico’s heritage and wellness journeys inspired by the Huichol community’s sacred connection to the sea.

Hands-On Cultural Experiences

Salterra, a Luxury Collection Resort & Spa, South Caicos focuses on environmental stewardship and exciting hands-on experiences for all ages. During Ocean Explorers Week this month, young travelers can participate in hands-on experiences with Salterra’s Coral Reef Consortium and explore coral labs, protected reefs, salt ponds and flamingo flats. Additionally, teens can participate in the PADI Discover Scuba experience and explore the ocean floor and its marine life. In November, check out the Food & Wine Experience with Chef Adrian Forte.

The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman promises guests the chance to enjoy some of the Caribbean’s most popular culinary and environmental options. The Jean-Michel Cousteau’s Ambassadors of the Environment, meanwhile, allows guests to explore the Grand Cayman’s mangroves, reefs and wildlife with expert naturalists. Guests can also participate in a private culinary immersion at Blue by Eric Ripert, embark on bespoke marine adventures at Stingray City and take guided mangrove kayak tours.

Dusking: End the Day with an Evening Ritual

More travelers are looking to slow down and enjoy the transition from day to night, making evening rituals an exciting part of luxury travel experiences. At The St. Regis Costa Mujeres Resort, Cancun, guests can take part in the signature Champagne Sabrage Ritual, inviting them to slow down, gather and toast to the evening ahead.

At W Punta de Mita, the sunset doesn’t signify the end of the day; instead it welcomes the beginning of a new energy with its weekly Golden Hour ritual. Guests gather at the Living Room Bar every Friday for handcraft cocktails, music and ocean views as the sun sets. Then, the Living Room Bar and Wet Deck come alive by transitioning into a social space.
