Cenote Sagrado is a natural temple for gathering and celebration, equally extraordinary for intimate occasions and grand-scale events. Designed across multiple levels, each space offers a beautiful perspective of the cenote and what unfolds around it, creating a sense of connection throughout. Its natural beauty and extraordinary energy become part of the experience itself, creating an incomparable setting for weddings, celebrations, live music and bespoke events. Privately reserved for each occasion, the sanctuary is entirely yours.

The team

Julia Salinas, our Director of Events & Weddings, takes your celebration from the first conversation to the last guest leaving, and is the person you will be speaking with throughout. Eight years running events at one of the fifty best hotels in the world came before this.

Come and stand in it

Couples considering Cenote Sagrado are welcome to a private tour, arranged in advance and with our compliments. Tell us your date, or roughly when you are thinking, and how many guests you imagine, and Julia will take it from there. Your own planner is welcome to visit too.
