In a collaboration with the visionary artist collective ArtHeavy, the new Maya Day + Night features a series of immersive installations that redefine nightlife aesthetics. At the heart of this transformation stands a mesmerizing centerpiece: a towering, custom-forged Candelabra Bottle Tree crafted from shimmering steel. Its spiraling branches delicately cradle premium spirits as if offering them as sacred offerings.
Complementing this dramatic focal point is a colossal 3D sculpture of a Goddess Face that spans an entire wall. Her hypnotic OLED eyes shift from human gazes to fiery serpent slits, while dynamic video art and pulsing DMX-lit “hair” animate her presence in sync with the DJ’s rhythm. The installation is framed by lush faux jungle moss, echoing an ambiance of ancient Mayan allure interwoven with futuristic spectacle.
Additional design elements further enhance the venue’s captivating atmosphere. Guests will be greeted by a 14-ring Eclipse DJ Booth, a moss-draped Steel Trellis, and Tulum-inspired Bamboo Reed Shades, each piece thoughtfully curated to ignite the senses and amplify the venue’s captivating energy.
“We set out to reimagine nightlife, where elevated service, immersive design, and high-impact energy all come together” says Jason Adler, Chief Development Officer of Riot Hospitality Group. “By teaming with ArtHeavy, we’ve pushed the boundaries of design and entertainment to offer our guests a truly unforgettable experience. We can’t wait for you to see it!”
Maya’s elevated cocktail program goes beyond traditional mixology, offering handcrafted drinks made with rare spirits, house infusions, and globally inspired ingredients. Each cocktail is designed to impress, both in flavor and presentation, bringing a sense of performance to every pour. Paired with a cutting-edge sound system, dynamic lighting, and elevated table service, the experience is both electric and refined. A chic dress code adds to the ambiance, reinforcing Maya’s position as one of Scottsdale’s most stylish and elevated nightlife destinations.
