News / Into the Maya underworld: Devossion by Live Aqua celebrates Día de Muertos 2026 with "A Journey to Xibalba"
An immersive celebration inspired by the ancient Maya underworld that turns the adults‑only resort on Fifth Avenue into something rarely found at any other hotel in the Mexican Caribbean—an experience that blends myth, sensorially, and tradition in an atmosphere of intimate luxury

Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection’s adults‑only resort transforms November 1st. and 2nd. into a unique immersive celebration in the Mexican Caribbean, inspired by Maya cosmology and set within the heart of the Cenote Spa.
Devossion by Live Aqua Playa del Carmen has prepared its most ambitious proposal of the year for Día de Muertos 2026: A Journey to Xibalba, an immersive celebration inspired by the ancient Maya underworld that turns the adults‑only resort on Fifth Avenue into something rarely found at any other hotel in the Mexican Caribbean—an experience that blends myth, sensorially, and tradition in an atmosphere of intimate luxury.
In Maya cosmology, Xibalba is the place where souls travel before reaching their final destination. It is the subterranean realm of water, darkness, and the gods of death—a concept Devossion interprets not as something somber, but as an invitation to go beyond the ordinary. The image accompanying the proposal says it all: a catrina inside the cenote, illuminated by hundreds of candles, the water glowing in deep blue, ancient stone framing the scene. It is signature Maya aesthetics, and it is exactly what Devossion guests will experience in person.
What Devossion is and why it matters now
Devossion by Live Aqua is the newest resort in the Fiesta Americana Travelty Collection portfolio in the Mexican Caribbean—an all‑inclusive, adults‑only property located oceanfront in Playa del Carmen, just steps from Fifth Avenue. The resort’s philosophy, celebrate every moment as if it were the last, comes to life through a proposal that includes eight restaurants, the Cenote Spa as a wellness sanctuary inspired by the sacred waters of the Riviera Maya, Club Access with a VIP lounge, and a lineup of nighttime experiences that features the legendary Bubbles Soirée under the stars.
The Cenote Spa is not a conventional spa: it is the sensory heart of the resort, architecturally designed to evoke the cenote formations that lie beneath the entire Yucatán Peninsula. It is precisely in this space where the celebration A Journey to Xibalba reaches its greatest intensity.
