Fairmont Mayakoba Unveils Luxe Picnic Sailings Aboard a Yacht

New experience sets out to wow guests with one of a kind bacchanal

For event planners, or vacationers who want to plans a very special and memorable event for two or a few, Fairmont Mayakoba is launching a Luxury Picnic Experience. The elegant alfresco package offers guests the opportunity to cruise the Caribbean waters near the resort in a lavish Van Dutch Yacht while indulging in a chef-curated picnic menu.

The menu features a variety of options for everyone, including a refreshing papaya salad with fresh avocado, jicama, macadamia, mint, and purslane, a tasty vegan wrap or decadent seafood options such as oysters with mango, macha sauce, miñonet, and lemon. Furthermore, the food is perfectly paired with guests’ choice of two margaritas or one bottle of Vignobles Gueissard Rosé Cuvée G to sip while taking in the incredible views of the turquoise Riviera Maya coastline. A non-alcoholic beverage is also available upon request.

Following the yacht experience, bicycles and water bottles will be awaiting guests for their next adventure – a bike ride throughout Mayakoba, immersed in the beauty of nature and wildlife throughout the community. From iguanas, coatis, and birds to monkeys and lush mangroves, visitors will be surrounded by flora and fauna throughout their ride.
