The Arrival: Stepping into a World of Wonder
The Dream Escape, emblematic of the growing trend in experiential luxury travel, begins as guests are welcomed upon arrival in Riviera Maya. They are whisked away to the newly inaugurated Jungala Park Hotel, the gateway to VidantaWorld’s universe of high-end adventure. Here, VidantaWorld's allure immediately unfolds as travelers receive a personalized wristband—a magical key that grants access to a world of surprise experiences. This wearable pass not only opens doors to the resort’s amenities but also hints at the thrills of Cirque du Soleil woven into every moment.
VidantaWorld Riviera Maya is an emerging destination in luxury tourism, a unique space where guests are immersed in a visually stunning and dreamlike environment. Designed to be more than a traditional resort, VidantaWorld combines thrilling entertainment, gourmet dining, and curated experiences for every age group.
For dedicated fans, Dream Escape grants rare behind-the-scenes access to JOYÀ, where guests can witness acrobatic rehearsals, costume preparations, and the extraordinary effort behind each performance. This is no ordinary encounter. It’s an intimate glimpse into the meticulous artistry that defines Cirque du Soleil, a reminder that every costume, every move, and every element of the show embodies years of craftsmanship and dedication.
The pinnacle of the trip, an evening at JOYÀ, is where guests experience Cirque’s artistry firsthand. JOYÀ is not only a visual feast but also an emotional journey, merging Mexico’s rich cultural heritage with Cirque du Soleil’s signature imaginative style. This celebrated performance is a wonder-filled evening where food, acrobatics, and storytelling converge.
VidantaWorld has always excelled in providing a high-end culinary experience, and with Dream Escape, it takes on a new dimension.

Diners might find that their plates arrive as miniature works of art or that the ambiance subtly transforms as they eat, creating a sense of fluid, fantastical immersion that is distinctly Cirque.
Even in-room amenities reflect the Cirque spirit. Each guest’s suite is curated with artistic touches and unexpected delights, bringing the essence of Cirque du Soleil into private moments of the stay.
