A 69-room beachfront hotel, El Ganzo stands at the marina of an old fisherman’s wharf in La Playa in San José del Cabo. Built as an epicenter for art and culture, El Ganzo boasts live artist installations, a top-of-the-line basement recording studio known as El Ganzo Records, and residency programs for musicians and artists alike. El Ganzo was also the first hotel in Mexico to receive the prestigious B Corp Certification for their sustainability and community efforts.
An extreme reclamation project complete with repurposed cranes and art, CRANIA’s restaurant and venue space provides an idyllic backdrop for playful curiosity and multi-sensory journeys. CRANIA’s culinary experience is guided by Chef Javier Ornelas. The NYE programming will also feature activations and culinary experiences across El Ganzo’s additional venues including Veleros, a top-tier oceanfront restaurant, curated bar, and ambient beach club.

Mayan Warrior is the result of a collaborative project that has united artists, craftsmen, photographers, designers, technologists, architects and musicians from Mexico City and Northern California.

Both light and sound are curated by some of the world’s most prominent artists to transport participants to the very origins of the culture – and to a new understanding of contemporary electronic expression.
