Tulum’s 2026 Jungle Events: Tehmplo, Solomun, Day Zero

Tulum, Mexico — Tulum is no longer just a destination; it is a creative industry redefining the economic and cultural value of the Riviera Maya. Each end-of-year and start-of-year season generates an economic spillover exceeding $20 million, energizing the local value chain from hotels, restaurants, transportation, and technical suppliers, and sustaining over 600 direct and indirect jobs.

Beyond the economic impact, the season reaffirms a cultural message: Mexico not only hosts festivals; it creates experiences with their own identity. This 2026 begins with three out-of-the-ordinary events—Tehmplo, Solomun, and Day Zero—examples of how aesthetics, contemporary spirituality, and technical innovation translate into country brand value.

These are experiences that fuse mysticism, art, spectacular visual production, and electronic music, taking place from dusk until dawn in natural environments.

The events are made possible thanks to Lostnights Events and Mandala Group, two Mexican platforms whose alliance has turned the winter season into a global phenomenon combining design, technology, hospitality, and high-caliber production. What is produced does not stay in the jungle: reputation, talent, and a business model that attracts investment and high-purchasing-power tourist flow are exported.

And while Tulum attracts travelers from over 60 countries, the Riviera Maya consolidates itself as a laboratory where luxury tourism, sustainability, destination branding, and the capacity to generate social and economic return converge.

Calendar

The calendar begins on January 5 with Tehmplo, a premium product designed for global audiences seeking experiences that mix ritual, design, and comfort.

Behind each night is engineering: sound calibrated for jungles, cutting-edge lighting and shows, meticulous logistics, and artistic curation that places Tehmplo among the most relevant venues on the international electronic circuit.

Solomun returns to the jungle on January 8, bringing with him thousands of international followers attracted by an artist whose legacy and reach (over two million monthly listeners and remixes that surpass tens of millions of plays) make his presence a true driver of tourism demand.

And Day Zero puts Tulum back on the global map: the experience, curated by Damian Lazarus and executed by Lostnights, will take place on January 10, following an edition in Milagres, Brazil, on January 3, consolidating a cultural export strategy that expands the reach of the Mexican project to strategic markets.

This movement has a double effect: on one hand, it elevates hotel occupancy and average spending per attendee; on the other, it positions Mexico as a creator of exportable cultural products.

The narrative matters: when a city goes from receiving events to designing them and taking them abroad, it changes its role in the global creative economy. Lostnights demonstrates this with trajectories that include productions in Miami, New York, Las Vegas, Montenegro, and Art Basel, cases that now serve as a bridge for investment, luxury brand sponsorships, and international collaborations.
