There’s a reason why Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ continues to wow audiences more than 10 years after its debut. Discover the ultimate feast for the senses.
In 2014, Cirque du Soleil JOYÀ burst onto the international entertainment scene as the first resident Cirque du Soleil production in Latin America and the first Cirque du Soleil production in the world to combine performance artistry with a gourmet culinary experience. Twelve years later, JOYÀ is still thrilling and amazing audiences—those who have just discovered it and those who continually revisit the splendor.
Its reputation as one of the most extraordinary vacation experiences in Mexico is well deserved. JOYÀ is a brilliant spectacle blending heart-pounding acrobatics, mesmerizing special effects, an unforgettable musical score, and a triumphant story that celebrates the bonds of family and the pursuit of knowledge while showcasing Mexico’s luminous history.
The experience begins the moment you walk up to the Cirque du Soleil Theater, an award-winning architectural marvel that rises from the jungle’s depths like a bright gold lotus flower. Its gentle curves and organic materials echo its surrounding environment, including a lagoon that wraps around the structure.

As evening falls, a canoe emerges from the darkness on the lagoon. Onboard, a fire dancer lights up the night with magnificent twirling flames.
Upon entering the theater, a blooming vision of vibrant hospitality—the flower girl hostess dressed like a blossom—guides you into the amazing wonderland of the theater’s interior where Zelig’s naturalium comes to life. Before the show starts, a trio of musicians takes the stage with a singer and gets the theater swaying with their spirited sound.
And then there’s the cuisine—practically a JOYÀ character in its own right. Guests who opt for a dinner experience will savor a three-course menu themed to the show’s plot and crafted to be every bit as surprising, innovative, and exciting.
If you haven’t experienced JOYÀ yet, make this the summer you claim your seat at Riviera Maya’s biggest phenomenon!
