The guest list

This is not a first-come,
first-served guest list.

The first people approved will shape the rest of the room. Every acceptance helps define the chemistry, the balance, the introductions — and the people we invite next.

This isn’t just a guest list. It’s matchmaking in motion.

We’re not hoping the right people find each other. We’re designing the weekend so they do.

Who’s in the room

The whole package.
Or not in the room.

Looks, mind, and heart — we vet for all three.

Magnetic

Striking — walks in and you notice.

Brilliant

Sharp, curious — holds a real conversation.

High EQ

Self-aware, warm, and genuinely kind.

The setting

Papaya Playa Project.
Barefoot luxury, on the Caribbean.

A 57-key sanctuary on 900 meters of beachfront at the edge of the Tulum hotel zone, where more than 90% of the jungle is left wild. Thatched casitas, two beach clubs, a jungle spa, and the kind of sunsets that make introductions easy.

The experience

Four days, designed down to the last detail.

From the moment you arrive, everything is handled — the room, the rhythm, the people. All you bring is yourself.

01

Your own beachfront casita

Three nights in a thatched, eco-luxe casita — the Caribbean a few barefoot steps from your bed.

02

Slow mornings by the sea

Breakfast on the sand each day — ripe fruit, strong coffee, and nowhere in the world to be.

03

A room built around you

Every guest hand-selected, every introduction designed by Velvet Ties. Chemistry by design, never by chance.

04

Spaces made for connection

Long candlelit dinners, firelit gatherings, and the unhurried in-between where it all really happens.

05

Nothing to think about

Taxes and gratuities already handled. Arrive light, and simply be present.

06

A weekend that flows

Every hour quietly choreographed so the right people keep crossing paths.

Wellness
Sunrise yoga & breathwork, sound baths, and a temazcal ceremony under the stars.
Culinary
Beachfront dinners, an intimate chef’s table, and a slow traditional Mayan feast.
Experiences
Hidden cenotes, ATVs through the jungle, and ancient Maya ruins minutes away.

Optional add-ons, curated on request.
