Ember Shores (Xpu-Ha, Riviera Maya, Mexico) 2026

Ember Shores returns to Xpu-Ha on the Riviera Maya from 20 to 22 November 2026, a destination event built around Illenium. The Colorado producer plays intimate performances across the three days rather than a single headline set, which is the premise the whole thing is sold on.

The format is a package rather than a ticket. Accommodation at the resort, festival access, excursions and activities are bought together, with multiple stages running on the beach and across the grounds and a substantial support line up filling the days around Illenium’s sets. Disco Donnie Presents produce it alongside the artist’s own team, and the 2026 official trailer sets out what the site looks like.

Xpu-Ha sits between Playa del Carmen and Tulum on the Caribbean coast of Quintana Roo, around 50 minutes from Cancun International, which is served directly from most of North America and several European hubs. Late November on the Riviera Maya means the hurricane season has closed and daytime temperatures sit around 29 degrees. Packages are sold through Eventim. For a destination music festival built around one artist, this is the model everyone else copies.
