At The Fives Beach Hotel & Residences, we honor our cultural roots through transformative experiences that connect body, mind and spirit. The Cacao Ceremony is one of our signature activities that is part of our Joy & Wellness® program – Comprehensive well-being in every stay, designed to provide our guests with an authentic and unforgettable experience.
The spirit of cacao: sacred on the sacred
In Mayan cosmology, cacao symbolizes a divine connection. Known as “Ku-Ku,” or “Sacred upon the Sacred,” this bean has been revered for over 2,500 years as a portal to self-knowledge and healing.
Our ceremony follows an ancestral recipe that is more than 600 years old, handed down by the Mayans. Accompanied by shamanic chants, this experience invites you to explore your inner self, opening your heart and connecting with the sweetness and peace that reside within you.
Benefits of the cacao ceremony
EMOTIONAL HEALING
Ceremonial cacao is a powerful tool for introspection and self-discovery. It helps to:
· Reconnect with deep emotions.
· Awaken your inner wisdom.
· Recover your ability to relate from love and empathy.
PHYSICAL HEALING
Cocoa is rich in theobromine, a compound that stimulates the production of endorphins responsible for feelings of happiness and relaxation. It is also:
· A powerful antioxidant that protects the heart and prevents degenerative diseases.
· An ally of the immune system.
· Ideal for keeping skin clean and radiant.
· The ceremonial preparation of cacao stimulates the third eye (sixth chakra), helping you reach a state of deep spiritual connection.
A tradition with history
The Mayans were the first to cultivate and value cacao as the drink of the gods. Later, the Aztecs adopted this tradition and called it “Xocolatl,” the precursor to the chocolate we know today. In both cultures, cacao was a status symbol and was reserved for nobility and emperors.
