For your winter travels!

Meet the Maker: Sylvia Diaz Westphal 🧶

Fiber artist Sylvia Diaz Westphal knits and crochets entirely from instinct, never from a pattern. Drawing on the colors and heritage of her Chilean roots, she creates one-of-a-kind Fair Isle beanies, earflap hats, fingerless gloves, sweaters and sweet crocheted stuffies made to be treasured.

Every stitch from instinct. Every piece one of a kind. ❄️

A new duck has joined the flock! 🦆💙

Meet the Turquoise Tide Duck, the latest addition to Kupuri’s collection. Hand-carved, then set with hundreds of tiny glass beads, one at a time, by Wixárika (Huichol) artisans in Nayarit, Mexico.

Each one takes hours to make, and no two are alike. It’s a true collector’s piece and a perfect companion to the Sunburst Mosaic Duck. Fair warning: it’s hard to stop at just one.

Gifts from around the world!

New to the Collective: Muluk Mercantile ✨

Fresh from Muluk Mercantile, these hand-turned wood ornaments just landed at The Juniper + Fire Collective, and they’re the kind of pieces that make a tree feel like home.

Each ornament is turned by hand from natural wood, so every grain, swirl and color is its own. They’re sold in sets of three: a keepsake trio for your own tree, or a gift they’ll unwrap and treasure year after year.

🎄 Hand-turned · Natural wood
🎁 Sold in sets of three
✨ No two alike

🧡 HANAL PIXÁN: Honoring Those Who Came Before Us 🧡

In the Yucatán, Hanal Pixán, meaning "Food of the Souls" in Maya, is the region's traditional celebration of Día de los Mu***os (Day of the Dead), observed from October 31 through November 2. It honors loved ones who have passed through food, family, and cherished traditions.

At the heart of this celebration is mucbipollo (pib), a traditional dish of corn masa, seasoned meat, and achiote, wrapped in banana leaves and traditionally cooked underground.

At Villa Muluk, our wonderful Chef Ricardo brings this culinary heritage to life, honoring generations of recipes, family gatherings, and stories passed down through time.

🌴 Villa Muluk is still available for Hanal Pixán! Experience this meaningful celebration firsthand while enjoying the beauty, culture, and hospitality of the Riviera Maya.

🕯️ Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in our memories, our traditions, and the meals we share.

Con amor y recuerdo. 🧡

This!

One of Villa Muluk’s best-kept secrets is just a 5–10 minute walk away. 🌴🐠

Tucked inside Grand Sirenis is the Secret Lagoon, a calm, crystal-clear snorkeling spot filled with tropical fish and beautiful underwater scenery. No tour bus. No long drive. Just grab your snorkel gear and wander over from the villa.

It’s one of those little experiences that makes staying at Villa Muluk so special: incredible snorkeling practically in your backyard.

🎥 Check out the video and see why this hidden lagoon is worth discovering. https://bit.ly/4iioFOx

Meet the Maker: Nj Pesci 🌊

For most of his career, NJ Pesci helped organizations navigate growth, change, and the complex relationship between people and systems. But beneath that professional life, another fascination was always there: water.

Raised between New York and Massachusetts, NJ grew up with the Atlantic never far away. Its shifting light, depth, and power eventually drew him from the boardroom to the canvas. A self-taught painter, he brings the same discipline and curiosity to his seascapes and landscapes, exploring the tension between movement and stillness, light and shadow.

The tide never really left. He simply learned to paint it.

From restaurant recommendations and transportation to excursions, special requests, or questions about the villa, you have two knowledgeable local hosts helping make your stay easy from arrival to departure.

It’s one more way Villa Muluk offers personal, truly local hospitality. ✨
