Sponsored by: There are plenty of ways to spend New Year’s Eve. Standing in the cold doesn’t have to be one of them.
This December 31, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya is transforming its stunning poolside oasis into the ultimate New Year’s Eve destination. Headlining the night is world-renowned French DJ and producer Dombresky, bringing his high-energy house beats to one of the oceanfront’s most captivating spots.
Tucked away along a calm, sugar-white beach just 90 minutes south of Cancún, Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya offers an adults-only sanctuary designed for deep relaxation and pure indulgence. Known for its resident sea turtles and tranquil, protected waters, this Five Diamond resort boasts 434 luxurious suites, three expansive pools, and lush gardens that make every corner feel like a private paradise.
Every detail of the resort elevates the classic getaway into a gourmet feast for the senses. Guests can indulge in seven exquisite restaurants, sip craft cocktails across seven lively bars, or enjoy 24-hour room service right from their private balcony. Daytime adventures range from kayaking and snorkeling over vibrant coral reefs to curated tequila tastings. When it’s time to truly unwind, the 18,000-square-foot Secrets Spa beckons with world-class wellness treatments and soothing hydrotherapy circuits.

The resort’s main pool area becomes an open-air dance floor illuminated by tropical night skies. Opening the evening is DJ Bautista, setting a magnetic mood as the midnight hour approaches. Then, as the clock strikes midnight, Dombresky takes over as Disco Dom, unleashing his signature upbeat house grooves to usher in 2027 in spectacular style.

At 9:00 PM, doors open to the exclusive party area, welcoming guests into a poolside atmosphere glowing with festive lights and celebratory vibes.
At 10:00 PM, DJ Bautista spins an infectious soundtrack to build the crowd’s anticipation. As midnight nears, everyone gathers poolside for a thrilling countdown under the tropical stars. Minutes after welcoming 2027, Disco Dom hits the stage, delivering a dynamic, headlining performance that will keep the dance floor moving straight through 2:00 AM.
This exclusive, once-in-a-lifetime event is reserved for resort guests, and separate event tickets are required. Because capacity is limited and holiday stays (December 28, 2026 – January 1, 2027) require a four-night minimum, spots are filling up fast. Travelers looking to elevate their getaway can also take advantage of Preferred Club perks, including early-access party rates with up to 60% savings when booked before November 15, 2026.

One extraordinary destination. One unforgettable night.
