FIND YOURSELF IN
AN ECO-FRIENDLY PARADISE

Mayakoba, Mexico is connected to nature in a way that will ignite your spirit – and it’s the home of TFest Chapter VII.



Carved out of the Mayan jungle, the ‘Village Over Water’ is 500+ acres of wild tropical beauty, with resorts built to preserve the native landscape.



Our host partner, Fairmont Mayakoba, is a leader amongst eco-friendly hotels, and the Fairmont brand has been recognised for having one of the most environmentally-friendly programmes in the North American hotel industry.



In 2026, Mayakoba will once again be the backdrop for luxury travel’s most innovative show. Prepare to experience TFest in a true natural paradise.
