The Experience

Thursday, October 13th to Monday, October 17th, 2022.
Five Days & 4 Nights Dedicated to You! Everything you need, want, and love to reconnect with the magic inside.

Parlour Travel is not for everyone, on purpose. It's extraordinary for the extraordinary.

This is not a group trip. We don’t do ‘group trips'. This is not a group trip. We don’t do ‘group trips'. 

Parlour produces fine travel experiences for the woman who values her independence and good company when she wants it. The woman who is comfortable in discovering new things and knows the value of service and convenience. At Parlour, we spend an average of 200 hours crafting each of our experiences so you can define the trip you want to take. No group-think or pressure. Full days to yourself with some opportunities to get together sprinkled in. 

Never stush but we are discerning in our locales, our hotels, and our partners. Why? Because we believe you are worth the effort. There’s travel, and then there is #travelfly, and we can’t wait to discover this world with you. 

The Slow Down is a 5-day travel experience based on our signature trip, the #TravelFly Solo. Much like the #TravelFly Solo, The Slow Down is dedicated to providing a casual-luxe experience, with a sharper focus on total wellness: healthy movement, mind & body relaxation, and fun indulgences at five-star all-inclusive properties.

Come solo, come with a friend, and leave with memories that will last beyond a lifetime.

Please note this experience is open to persons fully vaccinated against COVID-19 only.

Thursday, OCTOBER 13th

Hello! Today you will arrive at the Cancun International Airport. After clearing customs and picking up your bags, you will see one of the greeters who will escort you to one of our private SUVs which will whisk you away to our hotel. Depending on your arrival, you may share a ride with another Parlour traveler. Plenty of refreshments awaits you in the vehicle for the ride to Riviera Maya. 

Once you arrive at the hotel, check-in and meet your personal UNICO concierge, settle into your gorgeous room, rest, and get ready for an unforgettable long weekend! The evening will be at your leisure. We suggest exploring one of the property’s four amazing restaurants and then the Bar Balam for a stylish nightcap. 

Your personal UNICO concierge will be your main go-to for anything you will need at the hotel. Restaurant and spa reservations, tour booking, special requests, and more. They are an amazing, experienced crew and they are at your service. 

Inclusions: Private SUV airport transportation, all meals, and drinks at the hotel, including room service. 

FRIDAY, October 14TH

Rise with us. Meet us at the beach early in the morning for a sunrise mobility and breathwork session, led by Selena Watkins. Here, you will set your intentions for the day while watching the sunrise over the Caribbean Sea. 

Afterward, we suggest you head to the spa to confirm your complimentary hydrotherapy treatment. While there, take advantage of the $100 credit you have plus our 20% discount on spa treatments and book more me-time. At the spa, you will also have the chance to see the state-of-the-art gym, which we have priority access to during our trip. 

At the pool, stop by one of our private Parlour VIP cabanas to secure your belongings and grab a glass of premium food, wine, and bubbly before settling for a lay in the sun or fun in the pool and its many bars. Or take advantage of one of the many beach loungers on the sand if you prefer an ocean view. When you get hungry, order food at the pool or head to the 20.87 restaurant for lunch. If you’d like, you can always take it back to your room to cool down while eating. 

For the adventure seekers, book a tour to local sights like swimming in a natural cenote, zip-lining, or journeying to the Mayan ruins in Tulum. Or if you’d like, head to nearby Playa Del Carmen for its fun bars, shops, galleries, cafes, beach clubs, and more. Your personal concierge will be on hand to help you coordinate. 

To satisfy your inner epicurean, treat yourself to a complimentary Mexican cooking class led by one of the chefs of Cueva Siete! Learn more about authentic Mexican cuisine and cooking techniques to recreate your favorite dishes using traditional ingredients like chiles, fruits and vegetables. There will be 3-4 time slots available to take the class at your leisure each day of our trip.

In the evening, make your way to our private Slow Down Mixology Happy Hour where you will get an intimate immersion in the world of Mexican cocktails and its legendary spirit tequila! UNICO’s award-winning executive mixologist will guide us on a journey of how to choose the best tequila while we have fun making our own craft Mexican cocktails. Afterward, we will sip on our creations and more with a happy hour as the sun goes down. Meet your fellow travel mavens, snap a cute pic with new and old friends and pick up a special gift from Parlour before heading out for dinner and whatever else the evening brings! 

Inclusions: All meals and drinks at the hotel, including room service. Cooking class. Mixology class and happy hour.
Tours are not included and are payable to the hotel or vendor.

SATURDAY, October 15th

Sleep in. Order room service and enjoy it on your balcony or IN your spa tub while looking at the ocean. 

For those looking to move, you have the option of joining our special guest Selena Watkins for a private introduction to her signature dance workout, Socanomics! Start the day with a 45-minute dance fitness party where you will learn all the moves you need to know for a Caribbean fete, set to the sweetest soca music, and sneak in a workout. 

Socanomics is open to all fitness levels, shapes, levels of dance, etc! Lose yourself in the music while truly disconnecting from the outside world and set the mood for the weekend. 

Afterward, head to the 2087 restaurant for breakfast, the state-of-the-art gym, or your room to start your Saturday. 

And then? Do nothing. Or do everything! Our exclusive Parlour cabanas will be ready poolside and the spa, gym, and a host of activities will be on hand at the hotel to indulge in. You’re also welcome to use the day to explore local sights and activities. Spa day? Pool Day? Beach day? Balcony day? Shopping day? It’s your day. Your personal concierge will be on hand to help you coordinate. 

In the evening, try another one of UNICO’s amazing restaurants and then head to Bar Balam for a drink or the Palmera Lounge to relax and take in one of their fun (and very much not cheesy) shows if they are running. Or take it back to the room for some well-deserved rest on your balcony. 

Inclusions: All meals and drinks at the hotel, including room service. 
Socanomics dance class is an optional add-on at $25pp. Tours are not included and are payable to the hotel or vendor.

Don your cutest swimmie and caftan because we are heading to Puerto Aventuras to board our private 65ft catamaran for The Black Girl Magic Farewell Brunch & Sail, with the McBride Sisters Wine Company! Sip on their iconic Black Girl Magic wines with us as we cruise on the sea for a fun day in the water, complete with a surf & turf lunch, premium open bar, music, and some fun floaties to take to the water with.
