RIU Party: Themed parties and shows at RIU hotels

Holidays are no longer just about the beach and the pool. At RIU hotels , the experience is elevated with a concept that blends music, entertainment, and unlimited fun : RIU Parties , a themed party concept that has become the chain's hallmark.

Included within the All Inclusive package , these parties bring together professional shows, stunning performances and top-level DJs , designed to transform each night —and some afternoons— into a true festival within the hotel.

RIU Parties are exclusive themed parties for RIU Hotels guests , designed to offer a high-level entertainment experience without leaving the resort. They have featured internationally renowned artists such as Steve Aoki, Juan Magán, Afrojack, and many more.

There are two main formats , each with its own identity and target audience: Pool Party (adults only) and Family Parties . Both share the same DNA: meticulous production, immersive settings, and music that sets the rhythm for the holidays .

RIU Party: Themes that make the difference

One of the great attractions of the RIU Party is the variety of themes , each with its own atmosphere and aesthetic, designed to immerse attendees in completely different universes.

The Jungle Party invites you to unleash your wild side . With immersive staging and decor that recreates the energy of the jungle, this party features high-impact shows and adrenaline-fueled performances , making every attendee feel part of an intense and vibrant adventure.

Meanwhile, the White Party focuses on elegance and visual contrast. Dressing in white is an essential part of the experience, while stunning shows, immersive music, and a sophisticated atmosphere make the night one of the most iconic and photographed RIU Party celebrations.

The Neon Party transports guests to a universe of fluorescent colors , where lights, visual effects, and music create a unique sensory experience. Everything glows, everything vibrates, and the party transforms into a nighttime spectacle that illuminates both the surroundings and the vacation itself.

Finally, the Pink Party is an invitation to be daring. Dominated by the color pink, this theme proposes a relaxed and energetic celebration, ideal for giving it your all on the dance floor , letting yourself be carried away by the music, and enjoying an atmosphere full of attitude and fun.
