The Local culture at Bahia Principe is history. During your stay at Bahia Principe Grand Tulum, you will have the opportunity to see “Origen,” a show based on the origins of Mexican culture, alluding to the tradition passed down through generations from more than 60 indigenous communities.

On the other hand, the iconic Mexican Fiesta celebrated at Hacienda Doña Isabel welcomes you with Frida Kahlo herself showcasing the richness and traditions of Mexico. At the same time, you enjoy various games and savor the best of national cuisine. And of course, the mariachi and marimba are not to be missed. They accompany a grand musical show with representative dances from various Mexican states, creating a magical night filled with the authentic essence of “México lindo y querido.”


A Journey to the Taíno Past 
Upon arriving at Bahia Principe Luxury Esmeralda, you are transported to a time when the Taínos were the main protagonists. The renovated structure of the hotel pays homage to this ancient Caribbean civilization. Every architectural detail tells a story, offering guests an immersive experience that celebrates the history and cultural identity of the place.

One of the highlights is undoubtedly the MATUM show. This exclusive show combines lights, sound, and mapping to narrate the fascinating history of the Taínos. With more than 30 artists on stage, it is an impressive visual display depicting cultural evolution using natural elements: fire, water, air, and earth. The name “Matum,” which means “Noble and Generous,” perfectly embodies the Taíno spirit.

While at the Bahia Principe Bávaro Complex, you cannot miss the Dominican Fiesta. This event fully immerses you in the best of local culture through live shows and delicious traditional Dominican culinary offerings. It is a celebration filled with colorful dance and music that captures the joyful and inimitable essence of the Dominican people.


Playful and Magical Tales Experienced 
At Bahia Principe Fantasia, everything revolves around the central castle inspired by Papimber—a dreamy child who creates a magical world using a larimar stone—allowing guests to experience local stories told playfully through themed activities designed for all ages. Experience it at Bahia Principe Fantasia Punta Cana and Bahia Principe Fantasia Tenerife.


Art and Unique Essence  Cayo Levantado Resort is a standout example of how the essence of Samana is integrated into every detail, highlighting cultural authenticity and local development. The resort incorporates Dominican culture in all its aspects, from architecture and decoration to gastronomy and regional talent. Dominican designers and architects such as Andrés Augusto Aybar, Ramón Emilio Jiménez, and Johann Báez have contributed to reflecting the region’s cultural richness in the resort’s 218 rooms. The furniture and decorative elements were created by Grupo Paló with local artisans, using traditional wood and wicker to capture the essence of Caribbean architecture.


Coming soon, you will be able to enjoy “Xaymaca The Show,” an exciting journey through the musical history of Jamaica.
