Why Ember Shores Is the Ultimate All-Inclusive EDM Festival Experience in Mexico

Let’s be honest.
Beach. Sun. Sand. EDM.

That alone already sounds like a win.

Now add the fact that everything is all inclusive, your hotel room is steps from the stages, food and drinks are covered, and the music runs all weekend without ever having to leave the resort. That is the magic of Ember Shores.

Returning November 20 to 22, 2026 at the Barceló Riviera Maya Resort, Ember Shores is not your typical festival experience. It is a fully immersive, vacation-meets-festival weekend designed for people who want great music without sacrificing comfort, convenience, or vibes.

A set up that makes sense

One of the biggest draws of Ember Shores is how easy it is. Your package includes accommodations, food, drinks including alcohol, and transportation from Cancún International Airport. No shuttle schedules. No budgeting every meal. No long walks back to hotels at the end of the night.

You wake up, grab breakfast, walk to a set. You float between stages, pools, and the beach. When the night winds down, your bed is right there. That alone changes the entire rhythm of a festival weekend.

For 2026, the experience gets even smoother. Dining options have been expanded, food quality has been upgraded, and room inventory has been relocated closer to the festival grounds. Less walking. More dancing. Exactly how it should be.

Music that works with the setting

ILLENIUM curates the lineup each year, and while the 2026 artists have not been announced yet, past editions have shown how perfectly his sound translates in this setting. Multiple performances across different stages allow the music to evolve throughout the weekend, from emotional sunset moments to high-energy nighttime sets.

Instead of rushing from stage to stage, Ember Shores lets the music unfold naturally around you. It feels more intentional and less chaotic, which is part of why so many attendees return year after year.

Outside of set times

What truly sets Ember Shores apart is everything that happens between the music.

Snorkeling during the day. Catamaran excursions. Poolside hangs that turn into pregame moments. Late-night conversations with people you just met but instantly connected with. It is a festival, but it also feels like a shared escape.

Packages are available for groups of two to four guests, with deposits starting as low as $350. Flexible payment plans and split-with-friends options make planning with your crew easier without the upfront stress.

At the end of the day, Ember Shores works because it removes friction. You are not thinking about logistics. You are not rushing. You are present.

Beach. Sun. Sand. EDM. All inclusive.
Honestly, what else would you need??
