WHY IT RATES: This new dining experience is available for both guests of the resorts and visitors who are not staying at Paradisus. -Codie Liermann, Managing Editor


Paradisus by Meliá, a waterfront all-inclusive luxury resort brand owned and operated by Spanish hotel chain Meliá Hotels International, has announced a new elevated dining guest experience, The Epicure.

Throughout 2022, Mexico's top culinary minds will collaborate with the resort's executive chefs to create an exclusive and exciting dining experience at Paradisus Cancun, Paradisus Playa del Carmen, Paradisus La Perla and Paradisus Los Cabos. The Epicure will be hosted at the resort's premier restaurants, Sal Steak Cave at Paradisus Cancun, Paradisus Playa del Carmen and Paradisus La Perla and Le Petit Chef at Paradisus Los Cabos.

Starting on April 22, 2022, and taking place several times each month, the dinners will rotate between Paradisus Cancun, Paradisus Playa del Carmen, Paradisus La Perla and Paradisus Los Cabos. Featured Mexican chefs include Irving Cano of Casa 1810, Fernando Martinez Zavala of Migrant Michelin Star Chef Vicente Torres, Sergio Camacho of popular Mexican television series El Gourmet, among six others that will rotate throughout the three resorts during the year.

Each Epicure dining experience will be curated around a one-of-a-kind culinary theme, where chefs will educate guests on various topics in the industry, as well as their specific culinary specialties while interacting with diners prior to serving their unique dishes. Themes include Oaxacan cuisine, sustainability, rare Mexican seafood and more. The eight-course fixed menu starts at $140 per person and limited seating is available. Mexico visitors not staying at Paradisus are also welcomed to book The Epicure.

Guests of Paradisus' upgraded guest experience, The Reserve, who book The Epicure will also be able to participate in a private masterclass with the guest chef. In this class, they will learn more about the chef's culinary techniques and learn how to prepare one of the chef's most famous dishes.

This new programming complements a variety of new guest experiences that recently debuted at Paradisus by Meliá resorts in Mexico, including the debut of SUDA, a new unique holistic training program that specializes in designing innovative and exclusive wellbeing experiences.

For the full schedule of guest chefs and dinners, as well as regular updates, guests can visit the various resort's Instagram pages at @ParadisusCancun, @ParadisusPlaya and @ParadisusLosCabos.
