Lounging poolside while taking in the deep blue Pacific with a chilled drink in hand is undeniably blissful. However, the most rewarding getaways are always those that spark curiosity, delight the palate, and touch the heart. The new workshops at Mar del Cabo are designed to show that Mexico’s living heritage is meant to be tasted, kneaded, and experienced with all five senses.
The boutique retreat Mar del Cabo by Velas Resorts has unveiled its Heritage Workshops, a curated lineup of private culinary, mixology, and wellness experiences. Best of all is their flexibility: you can combine several into one unforgettable afternoon or spread them across your stay to savor each at your own leisurely pace.

These interactive sessions honor Mexico’s ancestral essence with a fresh, contemporary, and playful spirit:
- Sensorial Gastronomic Workshop: A private session with the Executive Chef centered on Mesoamerica’s sacred staple: corn. Trace the history of pre-Hispanic cuisine as you hand-craft tortillas and savory garnachas over a traditional clay comal, finishing by crushing your own fresh salsa in a lava-stone molcajete.
- Craft Michelada Workshop: The undisputed star of sunny beach afternoons elevated to an artisanal craft. Taste regional craft beers—including local staples from Baja Brewing Co.—and mix your signature drink with house-spiced Clamato, artisanal fruit chamoys, botanical salts, and show-stopping garnishes like shrimp skewers, savory cecina, and chili gummies.
- Sunset Cacao Ceremony & Sound Healing: As the sun dips below the horizon, this oceanfront gathering draws upon sacred Mayan and Aztec traditions that revere cacao as the “food of the gods.” It is an uplifting ritual meant to open the heart, set mindful intentions, and restore balance through gentle sound therapy.
- “Raíces de México” Tasting Dinner: The ultimate epicurean grand finale. A four-course tasting menu reinterpreting classic national recipes through modern haute cuisine, paired with Mexican wines, boutique agaves, and ceremonial sips such as Chiapas’ cacao-and-maize tascalate or the mystical spirit pox.
