BPM is a house music festival marathon in paradise, set in the idyllic Mayan Riviera. BPM Festival director Craig Pettigrew shares sound advice on how to handle it all: “The good thing about BPM is that there are 10 days; you don’t necessarily have to come to the festival everyday. Mexico offers so much to see here: beautiful cenotes to Mayan ruins. I’d definitely check out the ruins—they are magical, then come to the events—they are very special.”

The decentralized nature of the festival allows for the beauty of BPM to unfold from Playa to Tulum, jungle to beach. From world class DJs welcoming out-of-this-world sunrises to dancing under rainbows, check out these sublime moments from 2015’s ten days of musical bliss.
