The table is such a broad territory that various disciplines can be found within it, for example, crafts and gastronomy, which give more than one meaning to the concept: plate.
In Etéreo, Fête de la Mesa explores this intersection through a collaboration with ceramicist Perla Valtierra , where clay, earth tones, and organic forms accompany a menu designed to complement the food. It’s an experience that restores prominence to the craft and the table as a space for gathering.
When hospitality is expressed in ceramics
In Riviera Maya, Etéreo, Auberge Collection , continues to explore new ways of understanding luxury through its essence. This festive season, the hotel presents Fête de la Mesa, an experience that connects haute cuisine with Mexican artisanal design. The collaboration’s creative focus is Perla Valtierra, a renowned Mexican ceramist known for her understated and contemporary approach to functional art.
From December 12 to January 4 , guests at Etéreo will find a proposal that goes beyond dinner: a staging where materials, flavors and atmospheres converse naturally, reminding us that the true value lies in the attention to detail.
The table as a sensory meeting point
The setting for this experience is Pixan , the hotel’s private outdoor space. There, a six-course menu designed by Executive Chef Carlos Segura unfolds , conceived specifically to complement ceramic pieces created exclusively for the occasion.
The earthy tones of sand and terracotta in the tableware establish a direct link with the peninsula’s natural environment, while also contributing a serene and contemporary aesthetic. Each plate is presented as part of a set designed to be shared, reinforcing the idea of the table as a collective ritual.
Among the preparations, the following stand out:
- Pork belly tacos, with intense and defined profiles.
- Duck breast, prepared with precision and balance.
- Contemporary interpretations of local ingredients that engage with the territory.
The experience is built from the harmony between form and content, where the ceramics do not accompany the menu, but frame it.
Utilitarian art: Perla Valtierra’s collection at SANA
Fête de la Mesa extends beyond the culinary realm. Inside SANA, An Auberge Spa , guests can discover an exclusive selection of Perla Valtierra pieces in a retail window curated especially for the season.
The collection includes:
- Candlesticks

A proposal designed to bring contemporary Mexican crafts closer to everyday life, and to find objects with local identity during the December season.
Etéreo and the contemporary art of living
With Fête de la Mesa, Etéreo, Auberge Collection reaffirms its commitment to creating experiences that organically integrate culture, design, and gastronomy. The collaboration with Perla Valtierra highlights Mexican craftsmanship from a contemporary perspective, while the culinary offerings reinforce the connection with the environment and the act of sharing.
More than a temporary event, Fête de la Mesa functions as an invitation to observe the table from another perspective: as a space where luxury is expressed in calm, coherence and aesthetic sensitivity.
